this man is the most excellent lawyer

Michael handled a debt collectors actions against me. I had my wages garnished. I felt helpless. There did not seem to be anything i could do alone. I gave Michael a call. I explained my situation. He asked me for any names, or numbers i had. i gave him what little i had, one name, one 800 number.... he told me he would give them a call. I lost that hopeless feeling. I received a call that same day from Michael. He told me we should meet and discuss the situation in his office. He thoroughly reviewed all he had done towards my case. My wife and I were amazed. We expected good, he was beyond great. I was being wrongfully collected against. Michael promptly made calls and filed all the necessary papers to get the action stopped. I would have been pleased with just that. he did not stop at this though. I received all the money that i had collected from me. Awesome! that is how I felt at this point. I am beyond pleased with the results. I will never consider a different lawyer. I would ask Michael to recommend me one if he was not able. Knowing that he is going to give me no less than 100 percent.

Money well spent

Mr Young has represented many many times over the years and I can honestly say that I am driving today because of his expertise in the courtroom. Just resently I received two tickets. One for going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone and one for improper lane change. Mr Young talked to the state's attorney and h...ad the speeder dropped. That was huge for me ( because of the huge fine and the added increase to my monthly car insurance ). Plus I just started a new job and that speeding ticket could very well have cost me that job. Mr Young has handled other cases for me as well. I was denied unemployment benifits over five times but once I brought Mr Young abord I was awarded my benifits which equaled over 40k. He has gone to bat for me many many times and he has hit a homerun for me every time. I've delt with other attourneys in the past and spent thousands of dollars with no results. Mr Young has a great repore with the judges, state's attorneys, and trooper/officers which equals better results. I found that he is a fair person and his prices are reasonable. Definately money well spent.

The best you can get !

My wife was involved in an auto accident few months ago. Hers and another car collided on the highway and there was a pile up involving 7 or 8 other cars. Everyone tried to blame the accident on my wife and another driver when in fact they were driving too fast for the road conditions. My wife also g...ot a ticket for "failure to reduce speed to avoid accident ". As soon as my wife called me to tell me she was in an accident, I called Michael Young ( I have used him before ) and asked for advice. Even though it was 6 am, He answered and gave the best advice possible: DO NOT talk to anyone, other than to provide insurance and driver's license information. That is what my wife did. The same day numerous people from different insurance companies called and all wanted a statement from my wife. On Michael Young's advice all callers were told to call his office and speak with him. When we went to court, the case was thrown out in a matter of minutes. I remember Michael Young's exact words when we left the court house. He said: " By not talking to anyone at the scene of the accident you did 95% of the my job". I am very grateful, I definitely would recommend his services to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

Best DUI lawyer in the world!!!!!

I was arrested for driving under the influence a while back, and hiring Michael J. Young to represent me was the best decision I ever made. When the officer pulled me over, he asked me how much I had to drink. I replied, "Not enough." After I was arrested, I bet the arresting officer $500 that my cas...e would be thrown out. I also said many other things that I regret, such as the officers should be chasing real criminals, instead of making pointless arrests. I even went as far as saying that the officers were wasting their time. All of these things were brought up at trial, and it was very embarrassing. My lawyer questioned the officer feverishly throughout the cross examination phase of trial, which lasted quite some time. He ultimately got the officer to LIE, under oath!!! By questioning the officer about whether or not I was using the car door for support many different ways, he ultimately got the cop to slightly change his story, in front of the judge. That was what was needed to ensure that my DUI would be dropped. I did not think that was the case at the time. After all the cross examination and all the officer's brutal testimony, the judge was ready to decide on the case. As soon as he read the not guilty verdict, I was in shock. I couldn't believe that after at least an hour of this cop explaining how I was acting, cocky, combative, etc. to a judge, the judge decided that I was not guilty. All thanks to Michael Young!!!!! I will never hire anyone else, this guy is the MAN!!!! After the case was over, he asked me if I wanted to apologize to the officer for my rude behavior. I said no, and walked right past. I should've asked for my $500!!!!!

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!
