Edward D Young is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by

Mr. Edward D Young III is just great. Hands down one of the best lawyers around. My wife needed her green card so we went to him for help. We had already read online that he was a great lawyer so we paid him up front for the whole process. As soon as we started my wife became pregnant and she could not get this one X-Ray done until she had the baby. Our progress was kinda put on hold for almost 7 months, but Mr. Young kept working on our paper work, calling in to check on us, and sending me e-mails all the time letting me know how our paper work was going. He did just a great job that at our finale interview our interview only lasted 3 minutes. Again hands down he is wonderful and great. Don't go to anyone else just go straight to Mr. Young. Thanks again Mr. Young. Love The Watts Family

The Best, Honest & Trustworthy Attorney

We visited Mr. Young because of my family's extremely complicated immigration case. What other attorneys told us would be impossible to accomplish, Mr. Young told us different. He reviewed our case carefully and with a great strategy placed, my family today is fixed from that case and Mr. Young has gone beyond to help us. I recommend Mr. Young GREATLY!!

Thankful to know Mr. Edward Young

I first approached Mr. Edward Young for guidance on my immigration case, which can be intimidating and lengthy. He walked me through the whole process, answered my many questions, and kept me updated with new information. I provided all evidence and documents required and he made sure all the necessary forms and applications were filled out completely and accurately. Even though my case is still in progress, I know I approached the right person. Very professional, thorough, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer.

The Best Attorney!!!
