Joseph Young Attorney At Law

I got his name off of Bill Handle’s site. I paid cash. He said he couldn’t give me a receipt but I could get one from his administrative assistant on the first floor on my way out.
I ask for a receipt from him and he put it on the back of his business card. I was given a receipt on proper stationery soon after that.
After many months of promises and delays, Joe Young had done nothing.
He and his business partner split. His business partner refunded my money. His partner said it would be easier for him to get money from Joe Young than I would be able to get money from Joe Young.
i received a full refund as i complained to Bill Handle’s employees. Two good things came out of this. I was refunded my money and the other attorney started his law firm without Joe Young.
The bad thing, this case was about criminal activity in a hospital.
Soon after, Joe Young advertised on Bill’s Saturday Morning show.
I rarely listen to Bill’s show anymore.

Like others that I now have read about, Joe Young told me I had a great case. I retained his services and a few weeks later was told the case could not proceed due to an item that was clearly disclosed during the FREE consultation. What a rip off. BEWARE of this firm.

Probably the worst decision of my life was to hire Joseph Young. I had all kinds of shady contact with Joseph Young while I retained him as my attorney. I finally wised up and fired him to try to salvage my custody dispute with what little money I had. I got ripped off for $ 25,000 from Joseph Young: $ 20,000 flat fee service plus $ 5,000 retainer. After firing him I tried to get my money back but to no avail. I tried to work with him to allow him time to pay me back but that just allowed him time to shut down all his phone lines and any contact information I had from him.
STAY AWAY FROM JOSEPH YOUNG!!! BAD BAD BAD!!!
I also got his name as a referral from Bill Handel. Now I’m out all of the money I had to gain better custody of my kids because of this referral. Thanks for the referral, Bill. At least it appears Joseph Young’s name is offer the Handel on the Law page now. A lot of good that does me, though.
Signed,
Sad Dad, no more money for an attorney to help me

Working on a civil suit! Please contact me if you got Joseph Young’s information off of Bill Handel’s website (or if you were just taken advantage of)! Also please go to Bill Handel’s facebook page and let them know you are out there!
I am demanding they do a show to educate all of us how to take care of this legally! We have rights and the show and staff should be doing more!

the only question now guys is what can we do about it? what can we all do who has been victimized by this monster. I was even contacted by two of his lawyers saying the law firm is no more and he is getting evicted. Then today I call his number and he says he is having a grand reopening of the 1 year anniversary. what???

I have always admired Bill Handel throughout the years. Finding out today that I was scammed also by this Joseph Young is unbelievable to me… yet there were clearly a lot of weird things from the get — go… such as having to put the retainer money into his special account at CHASE BANK, etc. I never got a letter or an e mail or a phone call. I was the one contacting him, and he was full of promises, promises and more promises. I am crushed that an attorney could be so cruel to trusting individuals. I think there should be something Bill Handel helps us victims do/​maybe some guidance since HE recommended this guy. I remember the last phone call asking why he had so many bad reviews on the internet, and he was not worried about all that… just that he was on the radio a lot. That should have been a warning. I have my work cut out to let everyone know about this guy and his rip off techniques. I guess he is in the hospital now, and the office is no longer open, and maybe never will be. Well, I always say what goes around comes around. I just feel sorry for all of you fellow people who have been stolen from too.

I can’t believe I got screwed out of $ 2000 by this bastard. I too used Bill Handel’s website. You’d think Handel would have his minions search the reviews before he takes an attorney’s money for advertising, too bad Bill, you might be liable. I will use every single legal resource available to me to make sure Young never practices law again in California. And Handel on the Law is going to reimburse my $ 2000 retainer. Just received an email stating that Joe Young’s law practice has been shut down, however, I’m pretty sure it’s just another scam. Did he shut it down or did the state bar yank his license? No one seems to know, the state bar ain’t talkin’. He’s probably going to open another LLP with another attorney and start screwing people all over again. I have dealt with several attorney’s in my life and Joe Young is by far the biggest crook I have ever come across. FU Joe Young, I’ll either get my money back or urinate on your law license, you can count on it!

Did I get taken for $ 3500 too? Yes indeed. Horrible Law Firm! I liked my attorney though. She was great but it took three crappy ones to get to her. He stole my money, lied to me completely. He should be in jail. Supposedly he is in the hospital and had to close his practice. I think it too is a scam and an excuse. If you are in the same boat make sure to file a complaint with the state bar. They can at times get your retainer back if it is still in the trust account… I am told he ran with the trust account money too. I used Handel on the Law too. They are responding to complaints as is Clear Channel. I trusted them to refer me to a great attorney. That certainly did not happen. I think Handel needs to refund my money since it is his site.
