Worth it!

Mr. York’s reputation precedes him. He was highly recommended by a family friend. I had a consultation with him, I listened to his advice and he took my case. All I can say is to follow his advice every step of the way. His meetings and advice are spot on. I really appreciate him and Leslie for all o...f their help throughout my case. I am so grateful for the York Law firm!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

I had consulted three other attorneys before I came across Mr. York. As a physician I had been advised by other physicians to choose an attorney carefully. I had consulted with other attorneys (all were extremely sought after with great recommendations/ ratings and extremely expensive). Two of t...hese attorneys told me in initial consultation that they are friends with the judge ( translates to me I want your business and I am not ethical) and others bad mouthed other attorneys (unprofessional). All the other attorneys gave me different advice based on their skill set- some advised me to settle, others advised to go to trial. So if your goal pertaining to what you desire as an end result for your case- the margin of the success of your case will vary depending on the skill set of the attorney you hire. An attorney who is not good at trial (difficult skill set) will ask you to settle at mediation. I came across Mr. York’s profile on line and liked the fact that he was a former police officer. Mr. York was a professional, his wife was a presiding judge and he never mentioned anything personal but truly relied on his skill sets and was honest. I believe what sets him apart from other attorneys is his ability to be a gifted trial lawyer. I think this is an extremely difficult skill set to attain and either you have it or you don’t. I don’t think any amount of schooling can teach you to be so quick on your feet in rebuttal and apply the law at your fingertips. I read some of the other reviews and he has been called an angel, a shark but I truly believe what makes him the best and sets him apart from every other attorney is his ability/gift to be a flawless trial lawyer and get you to the closest margin of your end goal. I don’t think there can be many other attorneys who can challenge his gift.

Professional Competency with Heart

I retained the services of Douglas Ray York because I wanted to assure that I had done everything in my power to get the best possible outcome for all parties involved, especially for my kid. I also wanted to be fair. Douglas has all the firepower and legal prowess to get you what you want, bu...t perhaps more importantly, the foresight and understanding to get you what you need. His services are worth every penny. Do give him a call, especially if you are unsure of how to get started or leery of the process. You will be glad you did.
