Dedicated lawyer

Sandy helped me with some pleadings on a malpractice case, and he was knowledgeable, responsive, and determined. He did more than he was asked to do and worked hard. He is always trying to find another way to achieve your desired result. Sandy communicates well both orally and on paper. I highly rec...ommend him.

Sanford f Young represented me & I was extremely unhappy.

Sanford f Young represented me & I was extremely unhappy. The list of things he did wrong in my opinion is too long to list here. Also when I looked up his case history in ecourts & reviewed his appellate decisions it was obvious that he does not get good results in the court systems & exaggerates ...falsely his results.

I cannot figure out who you are as your description of your experience does not fit any of my matters. However, if your comments are genuine, I would hope you would contact me directly so that I can determine the problem and fix it. I try very hard to zealously and professionally represent my clients, and to be sure that my website is 100% accurate.

Great Lawyer

I highly recommend Sandford he is a lawyer's lawyer and his writing is superb. He represented me in a complex commercial case and help me fight off Noris motions so that I could work and not deal with the stress. To know Sandford is to learn from Sandford.

Winning is Everything

Mr Young was retained based on is reputation as a bulldog litigator who wins! He took on the challenge of our legal dispute with a large affluent real estate developer. Mr. Young exceeded our expectations with a another winning performance. He wins because he thoroughly studies the legal issues,... encourages his client's participation and thoughts to fully absorb the facts, diligently prepares a well thought out, organized and intellectual argument, which he then clearly articulates before the court. With Mr. Young, it is not that you win some and lose some...you strive to win them all!

Litigation lawyer | Apr 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"For appellate work and complex litigation matters, I cannot more highly recommend New York litigator Sanford F. Young. I have known Sandy for almost 10 years and, as a fellow attorney, had the distinct pleasure of working with him extensively on several complex commercial litigation matters before the NYS Supreme Court and Appellate Division, Second Department and the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. Sandy writes wonderfully, has a keen ability to simplify the complicated and is comfortable making nuanced arguments. His clear and succinct briefs and legal pleadings are well thought through and effective. Based on my experience, I would recommend him to any trial attorney in need of professional guidance or creative solutions to complex issues."
