John Paul Young

Anyone going through any case, especially disability knows it is such a long process. I can honestly say that if you want a caring, dedicated lawyer to help ease the stress of all of it, it would be John and his office staff. He told me up front that I needed to be ready to wait it out and that i...t could take a very long time (which it has) From day one he has been honest and didn't sugar coat anything just to get business. If I had a question/concern I was always able to get quick responses and never made to feel like I was a bother to him or Dena. I truly feel that John is dedicated to fight for your rights and that he will encourage you all the way. I would give him 6 stars but they only allow 5, because I think he is that dedicated to your case

I was run down on my bike by a State vehicle. It should have been a slam dunk situation. The State had a red light and I had the crossing signal. But the State was determined to make the accident my fault! John was recommended to me by a neighbor who thought highly of him. He quickly got on top ...of my case and several things impressed me: (i) We went out to the accident site and very carefully reviewed what had happened. (ii) John got statements from all the witnesses (they saw the plain truth!) (iii) When the State did their preliminary fact finding, wanting to know every place I had every lived and every band aide that had every been applied to my body, John cut them off. (iv) When the State took my deposition, John was very thorough in preparing me for what to expect and how to effectively present myself. (v) When medical bills got screwed up and unpaid, John straightened things out. (vi) Eventually the case went to arbitration. Again John prepared me very thoroughly for what to expect and had done his own homework to judge what we should expect from the State. (vii) In summary John kept me well informed at all stages of the process and prepared me for the parts I had to play. AND in the end, of course, it was determined that it is not, after all, okay for State Vehicles to run over bicyclists. But without John to make that case, I would have been left high and dry.

I met with Mr Young for an initial consultation seeking advice to help my brother receive social security disability. He was denied on initial application. Mr Young was very kind, patient and respectful towards my brother whose post traumatic brain injury presents difficulties in effective communic...ation. John was also very knowledgable and guided us through the requirements of a successful appeal. My brother was granted disability.
