Codependency

Erika Young may be a good lawyer for some but she has been rude and obnoxious in our case. She has directed snide remarks during court sessions which were inappropriate. She developed a codependent relationship with our child, she has intentionally driven a wedge between use and our child who has men...tal health problems.

Professionalism at its finest

Aside from being a terrific lawyer, Erica is a true professional. She always made time for me and ensured I was not only informed but understood every aspect of my case. I hold her in the highest regard, not because she was successful in getting all charges dismissed in my case but because she has a ...true passion for the job she does and cares deeply for each and every one of her clients.

Great attorney, helpful and caring

Represented me for my workers compensation claim. She worked hard for me, kept me updated and well informed. We won all hearings under her representation. Would use her again if need be.

Helpful and clear

Erica Young helped my family deal with a misdemeanor criminal case. She efficiently and clearly guided us through all the steps of the process. We knew exactly what was going to happen before it happened. It was very comforting to see her predictions come true. This assured us that when she explored ...alternative approaches and then advised us against trying them, she was correct. I trust Erica totally. Very energetic as well.

Avvo Rating

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.
