The Best.

I am a father and an attorney. I knew very well that the public perception is that it can be difficult for a father to win custody, so I turned to Mr. Doug York to help me protect my children. Hiring Mr. York to represent me was the best decision I made. Mr. York tirelessly advocated for my children...'s best interest. He is a consummate professional and is the finest attorney in court I have ever seen. I definitely would not want to be on the other side of Mr. York, either as a party or an attorney. Mr. York always took the time to answer my questions. He never sugar-coated things. He gave me his honest professional opinion and his best advice. Mr. York is an excellent trial attorney so when my trial began, I knew I was in good hands. He knew my case inside and out. He was just right in his approach and demeanor in presenting my children's story to the jury over the course of several weeks. He is a fighter. The results speak for themselves, a unanimous verdict. When people ask me about my win, I tell them my children and their futures won. Thank you Mr. York.

Outstanding!!!

I hired Mr. York in my darkest hour. When I thought all hope was lost, he took my case and kept in contact all of the time, even on weekends. He assured me constantly and I'll admit I was a "hand holder" of a client, but that didn't make him angry or make him lose touch with me. He is a profession...al at every turn, and extremely knowledgeable. When I couldn't find it in me to fight anymore, he never lost focus and kept me on track. I know family law has its emotional moments, and there were times when I blamed everyone, even myself. Mr. York listened to me constantly and when I say don't get discouraged I mean don't hire anyone else! He is the absolute best. My issues were pretty complex involving a lot of property and custody. He has the skills and the courtroom ability to get the job done. Again, thank you Mr. York, you are much appreciated!

DO NOT HIRE ANYONE ELSE FOR YOUR FAMILY LAW ISSUE!!!

After hiring 2 other attorney's whom failed me, I hired Mr. York and thank God I did! I found out about 70% of his clients come from client who hired other attorney's and found their way to him due to complex issues that are over the head of most other attorneys. He is professional, and alway...s responds to my calls and emails. I was always kept in the loop and never did I have to guess about the status of my case. Where others failed, he picked up my case and won! I know my case was a "handful" for his office but they always assured me with confidence and their whole office responded to my every need. At the end of my case I was very satisfied and they wouldn't let me settle for anything less than I deserved. Thank you Mr. York!!! I would recommend him for all of your family needs, and have no reservations in getting what you pay for. He's not inexpensive but well worth every penny!!! Trust and learn from me, before you pay for substandard attorneys pay the price and hire Mr. York. You'll get your investment back and then some. It's much wiser to hire him first before paying to hire him after other attorneys have failed you. I wish I would have hired him first, but I'm glad I hired him last. His personal attention was stellar. Thanks again and I hope this guides other people going through what I did. DO NOT hire anyone else. Trust me!!!

EXCELLENT, AGGRESSIVE AND KNOWS HIS BUSINESS!!!

I hired Mr. York to represent me in a divorce. My husband's attorney tried to "low ball" me and Mr. York stood by thick and thin to get me a massive settlement! He was always concerned about my wellbeing, and made sure I was informed and taken care of through the whole process. My husband told me... after the divorce that he wished I would of hired a "less aggressive" lawyer. Ha! Mr. York knew how to handle complex financial issues and would not quit until I was satisfied. If you want someone to keep you informed at all times, and someone that crosses his "T's" and dots his "I's" it's him. I will ABSOLUTELY recommend him to my friends!

A+ Lawyer!

Mr. York aggressively fought for me throughout my whole case, and always kept me informed every step of the way. His office was fully equipped to handle my very complex and highly contentious divorce against my husband in our child custody case. He never backed down and never gave up. I cannot t...hank him enough for all of his hard work.
