"The most important thing about a person is what they believe in. Everything else flows from that."
Of all the pages on our website, this is the most important one you can read. After practicing law for 30 years I am still amazed by how much all law firm sites look the same. Most law firm sites say the same thing to you, again and again. “Let us fight for you”...”Don't settle for less”... “We get you money”... etc.
When I trust a professional with something very important to me, I want to know who they are.
Yes, results are very important, and you can see ours here. But results do not tell me about the person and team I am about to enter a long professional (and at times, personal) relationship.
A serious legal matter will affect your life, and you need to trust and feel comfortable with the people in your legal team. This is why we think you should understand a little about what the law firm and it’s staff believe. Below you will learn more about what we believe at The Young Firm and what sets us apart from all other law firms.
Timothy Young, attorney
Our beliefs are rooted in empathy, understanding, and trust.
This is your case, not ours.
That statement sounds obvious but when I read other law firm websites, their messaging says that they view a case as “their” property, something they control and decide how it will be best resolved. We believe in representing the whole person, not just the case. We see each client and each case as a unique experience and situation.
We focus on your claim. We explain what you will go through from the time you hire us until the time we may obtain a recovery for you. Most clients come in to see us full of questions and uncertainty:
Your case is about more than money.
We believe that your case is about more than just money. While financial compensation is essential, we know that most clients are seeking closure and peace of mind. That's why we work hard to help our clients navigate the legal process and ensure that their needs are met. We're proud of the results we've achieved for our clients, but we're even prouder of the trust and relationships we've built over the years.
We represent the “not suing kind.”
My father was an attorney. He started representing very hard-working oil rig workers who had been badly injured. All they wanted was to go back to work. Period. When I started practicing with him 30 years ago, I immediately noticed that these clients typically began our first meeting by announcing that they “were not the suing kind”: “I never thought I'd have to get a lawyer, “I'm not the kind of person who sues...” … and many more such statements
We have to trust each other.
If you meet with us and don't feel a good level of trust, you should not hire us. We believe that a client's trust in their attorney and legal team is one of the most important factors in a positive outcome for the client.
In 30 years of helping hundreds of clients, I can honestly say there was only one client who I felt did not trust us and our recommendations to him. This lack of trust made handling his case nearly impossible.
