BEST LAWYER IN ILLINOIS!

Michael Young is prompt, professional, and accurate. He makes magic happen in the court room. He has represented me a number of times over the past 15 years and I would never turn to anyone else FOR ANYTHING! He always seems to have great relationships with EVERYONE in the court room. He recently got... my class A misdemeanor for criminal speeding (35+ mph over the limit) reduced to supervision for a regular speeding ticket. Beside what I paid Michael, I only paid a small fee to the court, no marks on my criminal record and I have my license. I already had a great deal made before my name was called. I was able to walk to the judge with confidence because I already knew what was going to happen. The first words out of the judges' mouth was "Your lawyer has done a great job for you today" Need I say more? Thank you Michael!!!!!

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,... but he did not give up until both cases were non suited, or dropped from my record. He was very persistent in court and never caved in or gave up. The prosecutor wanted to drop the drinking ticket, but keep the retail theft ticket, but Michael would not let that happen. He wanted the best outcome for me, and he made it clear that it did not matter how long it took. After 5 trips to the courtroom, the prosecutor finally agreed to drop both charges as long as I went to one 2 hour class. The outcome was worth the wait. Michael was able to do far more than I accpected him to do. HIGHLY recommended

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...scinded. Michael has vast courtroom experience, a superior knowledge of the law, and demonstrated a logical, practical and strategically superior approach representing me against the state. He succeeded in securing 2 very key stipulations with state's attorney, and was effective in obtaining key information from the arresting officer which proved to be the deciding evidence in the judge's ruling. If you need representation from a defense attorney look no further. Michael Young is a winner.

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.
