About Stuart
Biography
As the only Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy attorney in West Palm Beach, practicing bankruptcy law since 1977, I possess a high degree of expertise in the field of consumer bankruptcy law. I am Board Certified by the American Board of Certification in Consumer Bankruptcy.
Attainment of this certification requires peer review, successful performance on a lengthy examination and completion of 60 hours of continuing legal education.
I have also authored a text book for lawyers on bankruptcy which is part of the Lawyer's Desk Library of Practice Series.
Many of the cases that I have handled have been reported in law books nationally and are precedent-setting.
Having twice won the Pro-Bono Award from the Palm Beach County Legal Aid Society, I have demonstrated my compassion for public service.
I would be pleased if I could offer you a free consultation at a time convenient for you.

Abandoned call in 10 minutes into a "1 hour free consult"
I provided clear details of my situation in a document to which he agreed to consult me. After he realized I probably would not be filing a bankruptcy very soon, he abandoned the consultation and hung up. Rude and insensitive. I would not use him and wouldn't trust him.

Replied last November 29, 2023I am sorry that you felt this way. Since you did not provide your name, I cannot verify that we ever spoke. We do offer a free thirty minute phone consultation but an" in person" (still free) visit is really a better way to discuss bankruptcy issues which are quite complicated. I have never been called rude and insensitive, but you certainly are well entitled to your opinion. I apologize if you felt, in any way, disrespected. I would be more than happy to meet with you again, by phone or in-person, and we can discuss your matter again. Don't worry, since the review was sent anonymously, I won't know that you wrote this review and we can start fresh. Again, I am sorry that you had a bad experience. I recognize that debt problems can create a difficult situation for people and I try to be especially sensitive to that. Stuart Young

Honesty. Integrity. Transparency
At the Young & Brooks firm, I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thank you !!!

There is no one better.
Going through bankruptcy is very difficult. Having Stuart guide me and reassure me was like having true north on a compass guiding me. He is an expert and knows the law but explains everything in easy to understand laymen’s terms. All of the staff at the office is wonderful, thorough and truly care. ...
