Good Lawyer/Good Guy

I hired Chris to work on my disability claim and I found working with him to be an extremely pleasant affair. He’s an honest man and remained optimistic when I found it hard to do so. I was denied numerous times and Chris always filed appeal after appeal. He never gave up and I’m so glad he didn’t.... It turned out his optimism was well founded- we won. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Christopher B Young the only SSA attorney to call in Pinellas, just one call!

I would like for those who have been denied Medicaid not once, but twice for absolutely no good reason, (that's the bureaucratic game take it from me) to know I had cancer that spread & could have killed me and denied twice, but after first speaking with Christopher on the phone, I knew I'd hire him.... I consulted with the first SSA lawyer in person & right away, no. A second on the phone, again right away no. These two not the people to handle this important matter for me! 3rd time the charm because Christopher was a YES; he is listening to you right off the bat and taking his time, he is sincere. He won't waste your time if you don't have a case. This man has better things to do with yours or his time than waste it, he's AV rated for a reason. He has been a pharmacist, knows about drugs & their affect on the body for those who are sick and battling an illness. Also he is left-handed and in my experience a bit of a superpower, a smarter mind and step above the rest. I felt at ease and relaxed knowing my case in good hands, not concerned if he was staying on top of things. Our communication back & forth was stellar, his staff friendly and helpful! You only get one life that you are fighting for and it is all yours! One call to Christopher Young on 5th Ave N in St Petersburg; don't waste a minute with another SSA lawyer, this is the attorney to represent your case!

Excellent Attorney

Christopher Brent Young handled my Social Security case. He drove to my home and took the time to answer all of my questions and explain every step of the process. He always kept me informed and always made himself available. Christopher was courteous, professional and very thorough. I am convince...d his services was a factor in having my disability claim approved. I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs any assistance with their disability claim. If I could, I would give Christopher more that five stars, I definitely would.

OUTSTANDING LAWYER

I hired Chris Young by way of a friend, I needed a lawyer that would go to bat for me and hold my hand through the entire process. Being ill and having to go through such a long process is not easy. Chris was always in communication with me as well as always called me and updated me about my case. Ch...ris made this long process go very smoothly and eased my anxiety as well as my mind. My case was found fully favorable and I can now move on with somewhat of a life. If you are looking for the best SSDI or WC Attorney Mr. Young is your guy. I will forever be grateful for his professionalism and his firm for the all they did for me. I can't say enough about him or his staff. They truly stand up to what they fight for. I highly recommend them to anyone in or out of the area.

OUTSTANDING

I hired Christopher Young to handle my SSDI case, after having been referred to him by a friend. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Mr. Young and his staff kept me informed every step of the way, returned my calls promptly, answered all my questions, explained everything clearly, and were ...extremely professional, patient, compassionate and meticulous with details. Christopher Young helped me win my case more quickly than I had anticipated, and it literally saved my life. There aren't enough adjectives to describe how grateful I am to Mr. Young and his staff for how wonderfully they handled my case. They went above and beyond. Thank you!!
