Yannick Cools is an associate attorney licensed to practice law in New Jersey and Kansas, with a practice concentrated in family law. He brings substantial litigation and courtroom experience developed through years of representing clients in high-stakes criminal matters as both a public defender and private defense attorney.

Yannick earned his Juris Doctor from Delaware Law School, where he was a member of the Moe Levine Trial Advocacy Honor Society and competed on the school’s trial team.

Yannick began his legal career with the Sedgwick County Public Defender’s Office in Wichita, Kansas, where he represented individuals charged with criminal offenses from 2021 through 2024.
