This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lawyer

Peter Young was very helpful when I asked him about my case. Always took my calls and explained what was happening. I truly felt that he cared about me and getting a settlement that was suitable for what I went through after my fall.

Extremely professional and a joy to work with.

I had the pleasure to work with Peter over a three year period on my personal injury case. I can honestly say that Peter made what could have been an unpleasant experience pleasurable. The whole time I worked with Peter I always felt that I was being represented at the highest level and he always com...municated with me what was going on and where we were at all times. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Peter no matter how large of small the case. Peter is clearly a rising star in the Habush firm.

Extremely Helpful and Professional

I was in my first car accident just over a year ago where i was struck by another driver and did have some injuries because of it. I was unsure of the process and was overwhelmed with all the phone calls from the clinic and the insurance company and not even sure what my rights were. I hired Pete t...o help me out with this traumatic event. From the moment he started i did not receive any more phone calls and he kept me well informed of what the discussions were he was having on my behalf. A car accident is not a fun thing to deal with and Pete was very understanding and patiently answered all my questions about the case and what my rights are in this situation. He did everything in his power to make sure i received the treatment i needed as well as the financial amount i was owed. I would definitely highly recommend Pete Young to anyone who is seeking a lawyer!!

Excellent and very professional experience

Peter M. Young helped me to receive compensation when I was hurt because of a trip and fall on a poorly maintained parking lot. I was very satisfied with his responsiveness to my needs, and also with his staff’s attention to my case. I would recommend Peter M. Young to anyone that needs someone to ...aggressively represent them due to injury.

Our thoughts of Pete Young as we traveled down a path unknown

As my husband laid in ICU for several days after his motorcycle accident , my son and I turned to Pete young. While all your thoughts and energy are entirely focused on your injured loved one, life somehow still must go on and decisions must be made. The day after we called Pete he met us at our hom...e. With my son and I very hurt, lost, scared and confused never having to deal with anything like this Pete calmed us. As a attorney Pete had a job to do, we feel he fought to get us a fair settlement , gave us financial advise , took over and handled all contacts with companies associated with accidents like this. Pete took such a heavy burden from our shoulders , we felt a huge amount of relief when he left. I cant even imagine all the time and effort that goes into cases like this, and having everything done and finalized in less than a year is amazing to us. With our lives suddenly turned upside down we kept moving forward. Pete and the lawfirm not only kept us updated with all things associated with this accident he gave us the space my family needed . I recall some phone calls from Pete were just to check in and see how our family was doing. We thought Pete truly feels the pain and hurt we were dealing with. My family and I feel Pete was 100% honest with us at all times whether it was what you wanted to hear or not. Pete would meet with us in our home, his office and even offered to come meet in the hospital. He would say wherever is more comfortable and convenient for us. We are truly blessed to have turned to Pete for help in our time of need. He is a outstanding attorney and a real person. I called Pete a couple of times just to talk about my husbands accident, I also cried and took my frustrations out talking with Pete , he somehow always found a few minutes to listen . My tears would stop falling , I would be calmer and had faith that all would be ok. We pray our family and friends never need a attorney in this situation, but if life sends you down a unknown path as we had. we would strongly recommend Pete Young .
