Cristina YanezFive Years of Purpose-Driven Growth

This summer marks a major milestone at The Button Law Firm: five incredible years with Cristina on our team. From her first day, Cristina has been a steady, dependable force. Known for her calm under pressure and razor-sharp attention to detail, she has long played an essential role on our case team. But over the past year, Cristina has gone even further, taking on new challenges, supporting her team in bigger ways, and continuing to grow both personally and professionally.

Her journey at BLF is a perfect example of what it means to evolve in a fast-paced, demanding environment while staying grounded in purpose and compassion. Cristina’s growth mirrors the firm’s commitment to winning cases and making meaningful differences in people’s lives.

The Backbone of Our Legal Team

As a paralegal, Cristina’s work is a big part of the engine that drives case success. Paralegals are the unsung heroes in law firms, meticulously coordinating details, organizing critical documents, and ensuring every piece of the puzzle fits perfectly. Cristina manages all of this with a level of precision and dedication that keeps the wheels turning smoothly.

Her days are packed, moving fluidly between client communication, case file preparation, and helping attorneys stay on track and prepared for everything from hearings to settlement discussions. This past year, she’s stepped into an even bigger role, anticipating the team’s needs before they arise, streamlining communication channels, and supporting the attorneys through some of their most intense cases.

Russell Button, the firm’s founder, shared that Cristina has been the glue for the case team this year. He said she’s stepped up in a big way and continues to make sure everything is running smoothly, adding, “I can always count on her. I appreciate everything she does for our team.”

A Steady, Supportive Presence for Clients

Cristina’s impact reaches far beyond the technical side of her job—it’s how she shows up for people when it matters most. In high-stress situations, when clients are overwhelmed, confused, or unsure about the next steps, Cristina is often the steady voice on the other end of the phone. Her empathy and calming presence help clients feel heard and supported, which can make all the difference during difficult legal processes.

Her ability to intuitively understand what clients need, whether it’s reassurance, clarity, or simply a listening ear, is a powerful asset to the firm’s commitment to providing legal support and real human care.

New Hobbies, Same Passion for Growth

Outside the office, Cristina has been exploring new interests that feed her curiosity and personal growth. “I was never really a reader,” she admits. “But lately, I’ve started picking up memoirs, and now I can’t stop. I keep buying books left and right—I have a whole list!”

This new love for reading reflects the same mindset she brings to work: a desire to learn, to grow, and to understand people on a deeper level. Cristina’s journey shows how openness to new experiences can enrich both personal and professional life—something BLF deeply values.
