Standout Attorney for Nurses in Need of Representation

Yong J An's representation skills are unmatched. Our case resulted in the best possible favorable outcome within a very short period of time. His communication and counsel is clear. He personally returns calls in a timely fashion. Our family is forever grateful for the peace that has been restore...d.

Not worth your money or time, find someone else

I used this lawyer for defense on my nursing license. 7,000 dollars later it was like i purchased nothing. And after he makes his money off you, he clearly no longer cares. He also sugar coats everything instead explains things properly.

Forever grateful!

Trust me, and look no further. Choose Mr. Yong as your attorney! If you’re facing a challenging situation, Mr. Yong is an exceptional attorney. He’s professional, efficient, easily accessible, and kind. With extensive experience, he demonstrates unwavering competence in his field. I never imagi...ned I’d have to deal with a false allegation against my nursing license. Unfortunately, there are individuals who resort to fabricating false statements to cause harm. When this happened to me, I was overwhelmed with fear for my license, which deeply impacted my life. After searching for a nursing attorney, I came across Mr. Yong’s extensive positive reviews. I can honestly say he has lived up to them 100%. From the moment he took on my case, I felt a sense of relief. He ensured my protection and support, making me feel safe and confident that he would do everything in his power to clear my name. He was always available, responding promptly to emails, texts, phone calls, and even FaceTime. As this was my first experience with an attorney, I initially assumed that this was the standard of service. However, when I subsequently retained an attorney for my unfortunate divorce, I starkly recognized the significant difference. My divorce attorney didn’t provide any contact information except for their office number, making it difficult to reach them. When they were available, they seemed dismissive of my concerns and failed to update me on my case despite their positive reviews. This realization led me to recognize and further appreciate Mr. Yong’s exceptional qualities. He kept me informed about my case, was always available and happy to assist me, and ensured he held me accountable so I was prepared for the process. Despite the lengthy process due to the nursing board’s untimely response times, I am SO GRATEFUL TO SAY WE WERE ABLE TO CLOSE MY CASE DUE TO LACK OF EVIDENCE!! Mr. Yong saved my career, and through that I feel like I can say in some way he saved my life, since my career has been my way to provide as the sole provider for my family. I am and forever will be so grateful to Mr. Yong!

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.

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.
