Honest and Hardworking

I got caught driving on a suspended DL for the second time coming home from work. I was facing a felony charge a year in prison and all the that come with that. Michael J Young discovered that my lawyer on my previous case basically did nothing for me except take my money and that the IL Sec of State... made errors on my drivers abstract that affected my driving status. He came up with a battle plan and delivered. He fought the IL Sec of State and got me my DL back when I wasn't supposed to get it back until 2019 and saved my life. We met at his office he was pleasant he was honest well spoken and friendly. I felt he wasn't feeding me BS. The second time I went to his office he even let me play his pinball machine to entertain my 18 mouth old son. HE IS THE BEST. Every time I went to court I felt like I was with the smartest person in the room. Getting my DL back lifted an incredible weight off my soul it was and unbelievable feeling when it happen. Michael J Young saved myself my family from much pain. Don't bother with anyone else call Michael J Young first. He is by far the best.

Michael J Young gets the job DONE!!

After 2 DUI's, many years of no license, and denial of my RDP, I researched and found Michael. After many consultations, I was most confident in Michael. From the beginning he covered all aspects of the Formal Hearing, including prep for all questions, processes, etc. we were completely ready the day... of my hearing & he made sure I had all the correct documents. Got approved for my RDP after first hearing with Michael. Will certainly be using him again when needed full reinstatement hearing!

DUI or Drivers License issues - Michael Young is a "One Stop Shop"

I have used Michael Young on multiple occasions and have had the desired results each time. Mike will fight for you like he fought for me – GUARANTEED! I was embarrassed when I received a 2nd DUI in a short timeframe, however, rather than lecture me on how stupid my reoffending was, he put me at ea...se with an educational overview of my situation and the likely outcome. I used Mike for defending my DUI all the way through the difficult process with the Secretary of State (formal hearing) to get my Drivers License back. Attorney Michael Yong is a one-stop shop for all DUI and Drivers License reinstatements – look no further! If results are what you are looking for – do NOT short change yourself and go with the cheaper Attorney – “you get what you pay for”!!! (Yes, payment plans are accepted) Trust me and go with Mike, you will be glad you did – GOOD LUCK!
