True Hero

I hired Mr. Song after contacting several lawyers and talking through my situation with them. I chose Mr. Song because of all the lawyers, he was the only one to come with confidence and laid out a plan. He clearly had my best interests in mind throughout the process, communicated every step of the w...ay, and made sure I was getting the best possible outcome. He far surpassed my expectation and the outcome was the absolute best possible outcome I could of wished for. Actually, he exceeded what I even thought was possible, literally changed my life with the outcome he achieved. I cannot praise his work enough, I will recommend his services to friends and family.

Great Korean Lawyer

Young is very knowledgeable overall in many areas of law. He helped us close our family estate after my fathers’ passing. Young is very compassionate, kind and competent. I recommend him, particularly if your family needs a Korean speaking lawyer.

Delivered great results

We hired Mr. Song as our attorney when filing for bankruptcy. He made us comfortable through a difficult financial and legal situation. His professionalism and demeanor instilled confidence in his experience and ability. While always informative and realistic, he guided us through the bankruptcy proc...ess, advocated in our best interests, and obtained our most optimistic results. I would surely recommend his services in all legal areas in which he practices.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Aug 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"If you ever get the need for a good lawyer, call him. Really. His response, knowledge and professionalism are exemplary. Trust me, I heard it from good authority. Other lawyers. He does not so much practice the law as live it. By its norms and standards. His clients swear by him. I know that. I spoke to some of them. On the occasions I have worked with him, I have found him knowledgeable, understanding, empathetic, responsive, reassuring and competent. He is a good resource for other lawyers because of his varied experience; having been a law clerk, and intimately being familiar with the courthouse; having tried numerous case in many areas of the law, and having participated in numerous related activities, such as the Inns of Courts, legal clinics, and public lectures, just to name a few. Need I say more? You will not go wrong."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
