Be Prepared, Be Confident.
Training and consulting for mental health professionals navigating family court.
When therapy intersects with family law, clinicians can find themselves dealing with subpoenas, court orders, attorneys, records requests, and courtroom testimony.
Yellowood Legal helps mental health practices understand the legal system surrounding their work so they can respond with confidence, clarity, and appropriate professional boundaries.

Why Yellowood Legal?
LEGAL EXPERIENCE. CLINICAL CONTEXT. PRACTICAL TRAINING.
Yellowood Legal was created to help bridge a gap between two professional worlds that frequently intersect but rarely speak the same language.
Logan M. Hartz is a family-law attorney licensed in Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Indiana. Through Yellowood Legal, he provides education and consulting focused on the legal issues mental health professionals encounter when working with court-involved families.
The goal isn't to turn therapists into lawyers.
It's to help them understand the system they're working in.
