This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Crook

I hired Mr Christian Young, under the pretenses during our consultation he told me this was an easy case for him, the fact that my minor son and I were threatened and nothing was done to protect us. He says one thing that does another it thinks his reputation proceeds him he is not a good guy. He wil...l act like he cares but he does not all he wants from you is your money. Oh wow he stayed in the hospital with my cousin all day when he got hit off of his bike because he knew he was going to get tremendous money it wasn't that he cared.

Replied last August 16, 2024

Mr. Steven Batista of Bridgeport Connecticut hired me to address one domestic violence case for him. He thereafter was arrested on eight additional new cases in the Bridgeport Superior Court involving the same victim. While I feel for Mr. Batista and the difficulties he has brought upon himself and his family, blaming me for his significant issues is a reflection of why he will have difficulties for the rest of his life. Good luck to you Steven.

Contractor

I will always appreciate Mr. Young and his vast knowledge of the law and professionalism. I can go on and on about how awesome he is but if you really want to experience a fair and winning outcome, then look no further

As professional as they come

Christian was always 1 step ahead of the game. Knew the whole process like the back of his hand. He knew exactly what paperwork needed to be filled out and when to get it into the court/DMV system to make sure my license down-time was minimized. Very knowledgeable and can be aggressive when needed.... He assisted me for over a year with monthly court dates and was always prompt and professional. Couldn't ask for a better person to stand next to me and represent me.

Great Attorney

I have used Christian multiple times for two car accidents and well as legal assistance for my business interests. He is knowledgeable and not afraid to be aggressive when needed. He has a lot of experience in the court room as well.

Amazing lawyer, even better person

Mr. Young walked me through my first time ever being arrested and going through the court process. I could not have been luckier to have him. Christstain had everything under control from the moment I stepped in his office, he assured me everything was going to be alright and it was. Anyone one who... hires or consults with Christian is making a very wise decision. Thank you again Mr. young
