McCray family
My family needed advice on an incident because we had no real knowledge of the law or its protocol. This lawyer followed up immediately with a call and was well informed of the law. He provided relief and reassured our family of our rights which was a blessing.

Life saver
I hired mr. Eric youngquist for a DUI case. I was very nervous it was the first time I'd ever been arrested. Mr. Youngquist got half of my case dropped and reduction in fees as well. He was very professional and very effective and I would recommend him to all my family and friends.

Eric Jeffrey Youngquist's Lawyer Endorsements
"Eric is an excellent attorney. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Eric is a dedicated and zealous advocate for his clients. He is well respected by his peers and by the bench. I fully endorse Eric Youngquist."
"I endorse this lawyer. Eric and I worked together on a multi-defendant murder case. He is an excellent lawyer and his law enforcement background adds to his expertise in the field of criminal law."
"Eric is a top notch criminal attorney with the local knowledge and experience to provide the very best criminal defense to his clients."
"As someone who previously practiced criminal defense, I can recognize those who simply want your money compared with those who will really fight for you. As a former law enforcement officer, Eric has a keen insight on how to attack the accusations against the defendant. Eric is passionate, knowledgeable, and a true fighter for your rights. I personally refer my criminal cases to Eric."
"I endorse this lawyer & highly respect this ex-police officer turned attorney. Having been a peace officer, Eric has a unique "inside" prospective as to what to expect from the testifying officers on the other side and is thus able to fine tune your defense to your particular case, rather than a one-size-fits-all defense. He is very personable, highly knowledgeable, & reasonably priced. Easy to get a hold of, and does his own appearances on your case, himself. While I have worked in other areas of law with Eric, his forte is Criminal Defense. Eric has also been successful in the following areas of law that we have worked on together: Bankruptcy, Family Law, Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, and Evictions. I believe there is not an area of law Eric would not succeed in, however his passion is criminal defense and it show. He is one of the last remaining attorney's who actually CARE about their client. Give him a try and I guarantee he will not di"
