This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Litigation is only for the wealthy.

I hired Cliff Young to represent me in family court for a property dispute. He did very well on the front end, the case went on longer than expected, when the costs depleted all of my funds, he left too, even though we were so close to the finish line! “ if one has plenty of money at your disposal..., everything works in your favor if you don’t, you lose.. I now have to close out the case representing myself. I do understand “no money”,” no service” rightfully so! but I guess what I payed didn’t cover closing out the case, I have allot to learn I guess. Just a little compassion for my situation would have ment allot.

Representation

Do not recommend anyone use this lawyer. He does not seem to care about his clients. He should retire as he seems to have an early medical condition that impairs his ability to remember things that have been said. His office manners are very unorganized. I would not recommend. Learn from my mistake ...and pick a different attorney.

very approachable and friendly attorney

Cliff Young is very responsible and approachable attorney, my case is his priority regardless. First conversation i had with him, he is different than 4 my previous attorneys, when I drove to Nevada to see him, I felt it was ever better, he is family type individual. He is very confident and knowledg...able about what he is going to do and most important thing is his integrity. in my personal experience, he is way above average. You will find what i mean after you talk to him.

Very approachable and friendly attorney

Cliff Young is very approachable and confident for what he is doing about my case. I am from China and he treats me very very friendly like we know each other for very long time. He knows his role being good attorney and what is best way to help my case. Helping me is more priority than anything els...e in his mind. Each step of his handling my case is to help me to get what i deserve to get. Zhou (joe) I very highly recommend him as your attorney if you have case.
