Expensive and unable to produce any significant desired effect.

Mr. Young has a tactic he might not tell you about until after he has already billed you for it. That is what happened to me. He showed up extremely early on the morning of my court date and was the first in line to sign the bailiffs sign-in sheet, and then he requested to go dead last. So, we wai...ted many hours while the judge basically did see everybody else, all the while billing me at his full rate, which isn't cheap. He explained afterwards it gives you an advantage with the judge, since the judge is usually more "easy going" by the end of the day. He argued that when the judge is in a better mood, he will be more likely to agree with you. In my case, it made no difference whatsoever, except for my final court bill being thousands of dollars higher. But this is just one of the many fun ways Mr. Young may "surprise" you. Be very careful with what he puts in front of you to sign, because you might end up like me, sadly and irreversibly filing for the dissolution of my own marriage via irreconcilable differences -- not to forget giving my wife full physical custody of my children. I am now being legally steamrolled in court, no thanks to his subtle fear tactics and shaming. He didn't really make it clear to me what I was signing, but afterwards he offered the excuse that initiating the dissolution is a "power" move giving me the advantage. But, by attacking my lovely spouse first, I gained absolutely nothing except for her completely deserved anger towards me. If I could give Mr. Young a zero star rating, I would. Alas, I am unable to.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
