Joe Young

Do not hire Joe Young or any of his minions, you'll be sorry you did! My case started a year ago with a simple wage and penalties claim. Joe Young said it was an obvious "Slam Dunk" case since my employer had failed to pay my final wages on time. I paid Joe Young nearly $2000 to file a Wage and Pena...lties claim with the Labor Commissioner. I was strung along for months and months and each time I called his office nobody could provide a status on my case. One week I was told "this" attorney was handling my case, the next week I was told that "that" attorney was handling my case. I finally contacted the Commissioner's office myself to see what was really going on. I was told by the Commissioner's office that a letter had been sent to Joe Young two months ago indicating that the Labor Commissioner doesn't have jurisdiction over my case and, as a "Labor Attorney" Young should have known that from the start. When I contacted Young about what the Commissioner said, he told me never to call the Commissioner's office again and threatened to drop my case completely. He went on to say that I was the reason the case hasn't gone anywhere in a year. He also indicated he never received a letter from the Commissioner yet, upon a simple request, I received a copy of the letter in 3 days. They string you along and make up lies to make you think they're working on your case, when in fact their incompetence and ignorance results in you losing your full retainer. Young treated me as a second class citizen telling me to shut-up and cursing on the phone when I confronted him with the Commissioner's findings. On my last phone call he hung up on me twice and told me he was done with me. This is unethical behavior for any attorney and this isn't over by any means. Now I'm on a mission and will be relentless in my pursuit for justice. I will use every legal recourse available to me so this doesn't happen to someone else. In my humble opinion Joe Young is nothing but a Great White shark on the prowl for unsuspecting clients.

My law firm hired Joe Young to handle some legal matters in another state on our behalf. Not only did he NEVER appear in court, he had a contract attorney who was not prepared show up on the date of trial after never filing an appearance, never reviewing the file or the answer. Of course we were in... a losing position and had to continue the trial. Afterward, the lawyer revealed she was only a contract lawyer who recently passed the bar and had never handled the type of case she was to try that morning. Afterwards, he sent us a bill for over $10K.
