Excellent Employment Law Lawyer A++

David handled my case with the utmost care and guided me through a very unpleasant and difficult process giving me advice every step of the way. He handled all the steps in the process with the proper sense of urgency and aggressiveness. The calmness that he took from the beginning was the same at th...e end. Honesty with him from the start in the process helped win the case. I would like to thank his staff also for being very professional as well. I would highly recommend the law firm of David A. Young for Employment Law.

Knowledgable, Professional, and Compassionate

When I was unexpectedly released from my job after three years of service, I contacted Mr Young's office based on several referrals I received. My situation was made a priority and I was scheduled for an appointment the following business day. The office staff was accommodating and friendly and ...helped make a stressful time easier. Mr. Young meticulously walked through the details of my situation. His knowledge of the law and how it related to my case, helped me clearly understand my options. Mr Young is professional while still being compassionate to his his clients. His guidance was invaluable and I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a skilled, experienced, and talented attorney.

Professional, knowledgeable, exceeded all expectations

Mr. Young and his staff captured how the discrimination occurred and the impact it has had on my life. With his knowledge of the law, familiarity of previous cases in which the same discrimination occured, he conveyed into words my feelings of what occurred. Therefore, proving discrimination occure...d.

Highly Satisfied Client

David A. Young was recommended to me by my son-in-law, an attorney, to represent me in an "age discrimination" case. My choice in selecting Mr. Young to represent me turned out to be an excellent decision. Throughout the entire process, he kept me completely informed and updated on all the processes ...and proceedings of the case. He spent as much time as necessary to prepare me for the processes I had to go through and to be sure I understood and was comfortable with each step along the way. Thanks to his knowledge of the law and expertise with this type of case, my lawsuit was successfully resolved. Mr. Young was totally professional at all times in his representation of me. His office staff also worked with me and kept me completely informed of dates and obligations on my part. I cannot thank them enough for their support and assistance. I was completely satisfied with the services and results of his representation. David A. Young has a first class Law Office and I can, without any reservation, recommend him as an "excellent" choice in representing you in your legal needs.

Discrimination and Harassment against former employer

I would highly recommend David Young. David is professional, knowledgeable, confident and very honest and straightforward. He handled my case with the utmost care and guided me through a very unpleasant and difficult process, giving me good advice every step of the way. I always felt as if I ha...d a fighter in my corner, but not one that chose to argue points unnecessarily. David handled all steps in the process with the proper sense of urgency and aggressiveness. David's staff is very professional and assisted in a complete and timely manner as well. I would not have been able to go through the entire process which lasted almost nine months without David and his staff. I would highly recommend David Young for employment law.

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.

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.
