Incredible Experience

I hired Jeff in June of 2021 to help in regard to a car accident. He was so kind and considerate every step of the way and guided me towards exactly what to do to ensure I was taken care of. He was professional, organized, and steadfast in making sure I was properly compensated for my losses. I have ...nothing bad to say about my experience and would recommend him again and again. Thank you so much Jeff!

Really cares and was very professional

A couple of years ago I was at a dealership in Santa Barbara to pick up a new car that I had purchased. The dealership has some outside steps that lead up to the showroom. I tripped on a step, fell down, broke my shoulder in three places and severely injured my breast. When the dealership downplay...ed my injuries and blamed me, I hired Jeffrey Young to represent me. We later found out that the steps were not up to code and other patrons had fallen and hurt themselves in the same location. The dealership had never corrected the problem. Jeff filed a lawsuit and settled my case in mediation to my complete satisfaction. Throughout the case, he cared for my welfare and recovery, was compassionate and kept me abreast of everything that was going on. Jeff is a great lawyer. I highly recommend him. Janelle G.

My hope came to realty with his hard work!

I had a bike accident in December 2020. I had severe damage to my front teeth and no clue to how find the driver that caused it, she didn't gave me any information. Fortunately, there was a video camera at the site that recorded the accident. Plus, my friend posted about it on SNS. Finally I found t...he driver, which took a month. However, she denied fault. It was not easy to negotiate. Jeff asked me to write everything about the accident details and my feelings. My dentist also helped us with paper works. Jeff encouraged me a lot during that time and he tried to further negotiate with her insurance company. Finally we won and got more than I expected. I really thank Jeff's hard work and compassion. I am from Japan and It was very hard for me having an accident like this abroad as a second language speaker. Jeff was always patient with me. He is very friendly and care for his clients very much, always responds quick by phone or text. Very reliable attorney. Thank you Jeff!

Injury claim, and property damage

I was in a bad car accident in my prized mustang, which left me injured, and my vehicle ruined. I was left with a hard realization that I would not be receiving any compensation for any of my injuries and property damage. Until I was referred to Jeffrey Young and begin to explain my case. To my comp...lete supprise, I was taken back by the power and capability of Jeffrey Young. I was not expecting anything close to the agreed settlement. Thank you again Jeff!

Best experience ever

Jeffery Young shows not only his expertise in dealing the legal aspects of my case, he clearly understands and speaks with compassion to the emotional and physical pain and suffering. He thoroughly researched my case, presented detailed findings to Medicare/Medi Cal and private insurance companies. H...is efforts resulted in the very best possible outcome pertaining to my medical lien amounts and final settlement. Mr. Young is caring, exhaustive in his dedication to each and every case presented to him, and dedicated to your best possible financial compensation.
