Mr. John Young, Social Security Disability claim appeal

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.

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.
