5.0 STARS
My life was a nightmare after being charged with a DUI and multiple criminal offenses. My case was a complete mess and was not given much hope from other lawyers. Attorney Michael J. Young came highly recommended for many reasons: he treats you like a person, does not judge you, he is straightforward and tells you what to expect, he has the right connections and knows how to beat the system, but most importantly he gets you the best possible outcome for your case. He certainly did for me!! On top of being the BEST criminal defense and DUI Attorney, Mr. Young is also an amazing person, honest and trustworthy. I definitely recommend Attorney Michael J. Young to anyone who wants to keep their driver’s license, peace of mind, or even their freedom!!

Retail Theft/Underage Drinking
After making a few incredibly ignorant choices back to back, my family and I hired Michael. I was facing two charges, retail theft and underage drinking, and to make it worse, I got these tickets only two weeks apart. He was so knowledgeable and helpful the entire time. It was a very lengthy process,...

Excellent Strategist and Lawyer
Mike represented me in an at-fault accident. Even though I pled guilty before consulting him he was able to vacate my plea and successfully defend me. Mike made sure I did not lose my house.

A Winner
I was charged with a DUI and my driver's license was suspended. I hired Michael Young to defend me. The state's case was extremely solid with a damaging video of extremely poor driving. Michael didn't hit a home run, but a grand slam, as I was found not guilty on the DUI and had my suspension re...

Great Lawyer!
I was cited for doing 57mph in a 30mph zone. Class B misdemeanor. I contacted Michael Young as a reference from a friend. He told me what he would present to the court in order to reduce the speed to a standard traffic citation and also ask for court supervision. That was exactly how it went. I ...

He definitely has that fire in his gut that it takes to zealously advocate for his clients."
"Attorney Young is a fighter, and that is exactly how a criminal defense attorney should be. He stands up for his clients' rights and does everything in his power to ensure they get fair and just treatment."
"I have known attorney Michael Young for almost 20 years. I have gone against him as a prosecutor and also know him as a colleague in the criminal defense bar. Mike is a great attorney who fights hard for his clients and gets good results. I endorse attorney Michael Young!"
"I have known Michael Young for several years and have seen him in action in court as opposing counsel. He always aggressively represents his clients to get the best result possible. A great choice for anyone facing a traffic or criminal court case!"
