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!

Highly Recommended

Jeff gave me great advice and helped me through the legal process after I was hit by a truck on the freeway on my way to work. He was respectful of my wishes and always explained things to me clearly and gave me sound advice. When the defense forced us to go to court, Jeff succeeding in obtaining a... verdict that the defense was 100% responsible for the accident and he secured a settlement that was considerably more than I had offered to settle for outside of court. He is honest and conscientious and has a great deal of moral integrity. He gave my case a lot of time and attention and was always there when I needed him.

Outstanding Lawyer!

Jeffrey S. Young handled my automobile personal injury case about two years ago. I found Jeff to be personable, respectful and knowledgeable, and I was impressed specifically by his attention to maintaining communication between us at all times. I always felt that Jeff was focused and dedicated to ...obtaining the best possible outcome in my case. I am happy to recommend Jeffrey Young as an outstanding lawyer and a person of high integrity.

Commercial Incident - Tenant eviction

Jeff is a no-nonsense practical decision maker. Pragmatic choices trump emotion. He executed an tenant eviction notice while maintaining open communication and allowing for resolution between parties.

  • 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.
