Highly recommended

I highly recommend Mr. Yong to anyone facing allegations with the Board of Nursing regarding their license. Mr. Yong was an instrument in the hands of God, and he worked powerfully to dismiss my case. He was incredibly patient with me, even when I wasn't able to make my payments on time. I highly rec...ommend him because he's not only dedicated to his job, but he's also passionate about helping his clients. His soul is invested in seeing his clients succeed. Thank you, Mr. Yong, and your team, for helping me with my license."

Beat Dang Nursing Attornry in Texas !!

I can't say enough about my experience! From the moment I reached out for assistance, I felt supported every step of the way. Over the course of three years, I faced some challenges, but the dedication and expertise of my representative made all the difference. Initially, I received notices that ...could have impacted my career, with allegations from various locations. It felt overwhelming, but I was guided through the process with professionalism and care. My representative advocated tirelessly on my behalf, even proposing a two-year employment stipulation that would allow me to continue doing what I love. The mediation process was a turning point. I was relieved to learn there would be no supervision stipulation, which meant I could keep my job despite prior disciplinary records. This victory was made possible because of the patience and understanding shown throughout the entire process. Every step of the way, my wishes were prioritized, and I felt empowered to make the right decisions for my future. I truly appreciate that they took the time to delay proceedings to ensure I could remain in a job I am passionate about. If you're looking for a team that genuinely cares about your well-being and career, look no further. Highly recommended!

I'm very thankful that I chose Mr. Yong as my lawyer

I'm very thankful that I chose Mr. Yong as my lawyer. He was able to set a schedule and follow through to get the desired result in my case. From the very beginning he was very straight forward and honest. He kept me updated on my criminal case and was able to reach a favorable outcome despite any c...omplications. He was very straight forward and friendly, and I'm extremely happy that he tied things up so well at the end.

Top notch Criminal Defense Attorney services!

The Court System is not the most relaxing thing to be involved in, but Mr. Yong has to be the one disrupter when it comes to law as he is the most helpful, honest, and direct to solution type of guy that it was almost shocking the response I got from him compared to other criminal lawyers in the area.... He got the results he said he was going to get, while keeping me calm and clear minded. Thank you Mr. Yong for your top notch Criminal Defense Attorney services!

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.

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.
