Worker's Comp Defense Attorney
I am the Risk Manager for a self insured, self administered employer. I have worked with John for approximately five years and he has done an excellent job for us. He has been our primary defense attorney for Oregon and I highly recommend him.

John C Young's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse Mr. Young as a highly skilled workers compensation attorney. I have had the pleasure of knowing him for several years and I confidently refer him cases in his field of expertise."
"I have worked with John on a number of cases, and I always look forward to the next one. I cannot say enough good things about him. While it is our job as attorneys to advocate the positions of our clients, it does not mean that we can't be civil to opposing counsel. John embodies the professionalism, advocacy skills, and confidence needed to conduct oneself in such a way. Whenever I see John as the opposing counsel to one of my cases I breathe a sigh of relief because I know the encounter will at least be pleasant (regardless of whether he obliterates my client's case at hearing)."
