HORRIBLE ATTORNEY

Terrible attorney, best advice stay away from him. Took our foreclosure case against Ocwen Loan, never followed our strategy, could not work out a deal with Ocwen, got frustrated and quit the case two months later. Let us stranded, made all these promises and he kept none of them. Worst lawyer I eve...r worked with.

Thank you very much for everything that you have done for us.

Mr. Young has represented me and family legally, professionally. Both in a number of challenging and complex matters. His handling of the cases – his preparation and attention to detail has been exceptionally successful . His demeanor is positive and engaging. Mr. Young is a competent and responsi...ble attorney. Thank you very much for everything that you have done for us.

Exceptional, Impressive and Making a Difference in the Industry!

We had a very seemingly cut and dry foreclosure action on our home that has been going on for years. Pretty much the same story as most of America, doing really well, figure we could afford more and decided to refinance. Economy fell apart and my company couldn’t keep up, many many efforts to work ...it out with servicer but got nowhere. We have gone through 2 attorneys and thousands of dollars since 2009. Justin, (first class, paralegal for the firm) and Ivan clearly read and understood our case thoroughly and pointed out some very important and evidently large, potentially fatal mistakes made by the plaintiff that no other attorney even noticed. Their attention to detail thus far has been unmatched and is a very refreshing sign in what seems to be a dirty, shallow area of law. They understand what is actually going on with foreclosures in this country and are exceptional at explaining it if you are willing to listen. I have spent countless hours researching the entire foreclosure process as well as the attorneys who practice it, trying to understand all the ins and outs of the securitization process all the way through to quiet title and there has not been an attorney that I have encountered that understood it all except for this firm. After posing numerous questions and receiving more answers than i could remember, Justin and Ivan were able to answer each and every one with unmatched confidence, knowledge and understanding. Rarely do you find people to work for you who truly and genuinely care and continue to demonstrate it day after day. This seems to be more than just a Job for this firm and they take what they are doing for people very seriously. Most attorneys appear to be content in the delay, stall and hold off method of what they believe to be an inevitable loss. I don’t think i have met an attorney who believes in this cause more than Ivan and Justin. If your case qualifies for this firm, i would highly recommend using them for your foreclosure. Do some research on your own, there has to be a reason that there is not a single negative comment or slightly less than perfect review on this group, on AVVO or anywhere on the internet period. These people really care and it shows!

Responsive and Knowledgeable

I received an extremely troubling letter from attorneys representing my mortgage company (unfortunately on a Saturday, and knowing the mortgage offices were closed). In a panic, I went to the web to search for answers- afraid that I would lose my house. I found great answers alleviating many of my... concerns, all answered by Ivan. I was actually able to sleep! I decided that if I was going to need an attorney- he would be the one I retain. I asked for a free consultation, and received a prompt call back. Fortunately, my issue was due to incompetence by the mortgage servicer (owned by IBM but shall otherwise remain nameless) that bought my mortgage from BOA, and it is likely that I will not need representation, and much to their credit The Young Law Group told me as much. It is very comforting to know that there are places out there like the Young Law Group. Next to the health of your family, nothing is more stressful than the fear of losing your home. Don't go it alone if you find yourself in trouble- they can help.
