Yan E. Shrayberman: Hi, I'm Yan Shrayberman, founder of Crown Law Firm here in Fresno, California. I want to take a few minutes to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about how I approach representing clients — because choosing the right attorney may be the most important decision you make.
I've been a criminal defense and family law attorney for over ten years. I'm licensed in California, Washington, and Florida, and I focus my practice here in Fresno and throughout the Central Valley. I was named a Super Lawyer every year from 2020 through 2026, which I'm proud of — but what matters most to me is what happens in the courtroom and at the negotiating table for my clients.
On the criminal defense side, I handle everything from DUI charges and drug crimes to violent felonies, federal cases, and white-collar matters. Every case is different. A first-time DUI for a college student carries different stakes than a federal firearm charge for someone with a prior record. I take the time to understand exactly where you are, what the government's case looks like, and where the weaknesses are — then I build a strategy around that.
On the family law side, I represent clients in divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, and property division cases. Family law cases are emotionally difficult. I've seen what happens when attorneys fan the flames just to generate more billing hours. That's not how I operate. I fight hard for your interests, but I also give you honest advice about when it makes sense to reach an agreement and when it makes sense to go to court.
One thing I want to be clear about: I'm the attorney who will actually be working on your case. You won't be handed off to a paralegal or a junior associate. When you call our office, you talk to me. When we go to court, I'm there with you.
If you or someone you love has been arrested, charged, or is facing a difficult family law situation, I encourage you to call us right away. The earlier we get involved, the more options we have. Our first consultation is free. You can reach me directly at (559) 779-2315.
I look forward to meeting you and finding out how Crown Law Firm can help protect what matters most to you.
Why Choose Crown Law Firm for Car Accident Attorney in Selma
Distracted driving accidents in Selma are on the rise as drivers continue to use cell phones behind the wheel despite California's hands-free laws. If a distracted driver injured you, our firm uses phone records, witness testimony, and accident reconstruction to prove negligence and hold the responsible driver accountable.
Understanding Car Accident Attorney in Fresno County
Uninsured and underinsured motorist accidents in Selma are more common than many people realize. When the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance, your own UM/UIM coverage becomes critical. We help Fresno County clients pursue every recoverable damage under their own policies.
Car Accident Attorney Representation for Selma Residents
If you were injured as a passenger in a Selma car accident, you may have claims against multiple parties — the driver of the car you were in, the other driver, or both. Passenger injury cases in Fresno County often involve navigating multiple insurance policies to pursue recoverable damages.
Local Claims Process for Selma Cases
Insurance companies handling Selma claims often use delay tactics, hoping that injured victims will accept lowball offers out of financial desperation. Our firm counters these strategies by building strong cases, communicating deadlines clearly, and being fully prepared to file suit when necessary.
After an accident in Selma, the claims process typically begins with notifying the at-fault party's insurance company. The insurer assigns an adjuster who investigates the claim, reviews medical records, and attempts to negotiate a settlement.

Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury case in Fresno County?
While you are not required to have an attorney, insurance companies in Fresno County have experienced adjusters and legal teams working to minimize your payout. A seasoned personal injury attorney levels the playing field, handles negotiations, and can significantly increase the value of your claim.
Do I have to pay medical bills out of pocket while my case is pending in Fresno County?
If you don't have health insurance or your bills are mounting, Crown Law Firm can help connect you with medical providers in Fresno County who will treat you on a lien basis — meaning they agree to wait for payment until your case is resolved. This ensures you get the treatment you need without worrying about upfront costs.
How is the value of my personal injury case determined in Fresno County?
The value of a personal injury case in Fresno County depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, your total medical expenses, lost income, the impact on your daily life, and the degree of the other party's negligence. An experienced attorney will evaluate all of these factors to determine the full value of your claim.
Can I sue a government entity for my injury in Fresno County?
Yes, you can file a claim against a government entity in Fresno County if their negligence caused your injury — for example, a dangerous road condition or defective public property.
