CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS LAWYER UNFORTUNATELY

Steve Young is a complete train wreck as a lawyer and human being losing my case after waiving jury over my objection -- when I said the judge could not be fair so we needed a jury -- worse than that efforts were made to follow up after with Steve Young and he largely "ghosts", does not act even to h...elp children, basically works to sabotage -- It was a horrible experience where he even said I was a liar about helping children, they all know that, and I showed him the proof and needed a very little help due that which he screwed up because he would not listen to me and heed warnings about the unfair judge. He left a breast feeding baby to suffer with impunity. I cannot recommend this lawyer for any purpose whatsoever, and I actually gave him 2,500 cash and he was supposed to take a percentage too, but lost the case -- an the case was unopposed / uncontested and he still lost. IF he just did a jury trial we would have won, but this lawyer was hell bent against a jury -- completely bizarre -- lost the case.

An excellent result

Steve Young settled a case for me during the depths of the recession, when I needed a change in my lease. Although the landlord was very unpleasant and uncooperative, he got a very good settlement for me, with little fuss. His ability to deal with their attorney actually made them come out much on th...e shorter end -- they would have been better off to take my offer in the first place! Thank you, Steve.

Super Competent and Ethical!

I have relied on this lawyer several times for guidance and he walked me through some really scary times in my life. I always felt I was in the best hands and he did it with heart. Just a great lawyer to have on your side. Super reasonable fees for the quality and years of being a successful trial... lawyer too. He doesn't miss a beat! Extremely smart.

Icing but no cake

I assume Steve is very knowledgeable about the law and a skillful trial lawyer. Or at least he spent a lot of time telling me this. (I heard how important he was a lot!) His ego is pretty huge. However, he has little interest in the day to day handling of a case. He delegates that to his staff. H...e also didn't seem interested in settling my case (which is what I wanted), telling me over and over that he is a "trial lawyer"I

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Mr. Young for a while now. He is a trial lawyer and takes to trial all types of civil cases, not just personal injury. He has tried somewhere between 200 and 300 cases in variety of different civil cases. It may not seem like a lot to nonlawyers, but a typical civil trial lawyer tries less than 20 during their career. A top trial lawyer may go to trial 50 times during their career. Mr. Young, is an excellent trial lawyer, and is constantly preparing for trial. He receives an enormous number of referrals from other attorneys, so you will not see advertisements, or silly directory profiles like AVVO, because his reputation in the legal community is very well known, and he is constantly receiving referrals."
