I would highly recommend Yong as an attorney!

I contacted Yong about getting a felony DWI expunged from my record. It was previously denied and was also a difficult case. I had contacted another attorney who told me I was wasting my time and money and that it would be denied. Yong was upfront and honest and told me it would be difficult, but he ...would put together a solid case. After his persistence and building a great case, we won the expungement hearing! Yong's professionalism was second to none and he kept me informed at all times. If I ever had a question, Yong would respond immediately. I would highly recommend Yong as an attorney!

Very friendly and accommodating!

Mr. Yong has a special way of knowing how to approach a particular case before the The Board of Nurse. He knows how certain personalities on the Board can affect a case. He was very impressive when he handled the case. At the same time, his also very friendly and accommodating.

He certainly knows how to uphold the rights of the accused!

For the past year, Mr.Yong was the counsel who represented my son in different proceedings in court. His expertise in the criminal law enabled him to make fast negotiations with the state. He was able to reduce the probation period of my son.He certainly knows how to uphold the rights of the accused ...or defendants in any case. Thumbs up Mr. Yong.

He is the man to call!

Yong J. An is a very helpful person. As an attorney he is very understanding and very helpful. By all means he has changed some things in my life that could have been a lot worse that what it could have been. He is the type of attorney who listens to your problem instead of not caring about what is ...going on just to get your money. So with that being said, if you ever need help in any type of criminal situation, he is the man to call. Thank you for all you have done!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
