WOW!

I concluded my divorce with the help of Mr. York and I have to say a huge thank you! Although there were "up's" and "down's" throughout the process he kept me on track, even when I was thinking the whole process was too difficult and was about to throw in the towel. Thankfully I was guided through... the whole process and looking back I was SO glad I hired him instead of another choice I reviewed. First the good: Massively aggressive! (I would NOT want to be on the other side of him!). I felt protected throughout and he seemed to take my case as if it were his own. There were times when I felt like a child hiding behind their father standing up to a wrong. His office is both professional and has a good sense of humor which makes a good mix. I felt at home. (In fact, his exact words were "this is your home during your divorce so get comfortable"). They kept me informed, I never had to worry about a return email, text or phone call. I felt like a load of bricks were off my shoulders. Now the "not so good.": If you're expecting a cheap out, you'll be highly disappointed. He is expensive but well worth it. I hired a lesser attorney and switched to Mr. York mid-way through. I wish I had started with him because even though he's more expensive than most, I probably would have saved in the end by not having Mr. York clean up the mess created by my first lawyer. He is also brutally honest, which is what I needed. He will definitely tell you the "weak" and "strong" points even when you don't want to hear that you will not get 100% of everything and thus leaving my soon to be "ex" in the street homeless without a dime. (...I can dream). In short, a HUGE thank you and would absolutely recommend him to anyone that has a complex divorce.

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!!!
