One of the easiest recommendations I could make is one describing personal Trust, Medical Directives and Wills prepared by Michael Young. Easy to work with, relatable and quick to deliver are words which come to mind when I think of the recent legal work performed for me, now I relax knowing every thing is updated and in order. It is a good feeling to have.

My absolute go-to on elder law! Living out of state, Mike has been invaluable in helping me navigate the pitfalls in CA elder law…I wish all lawyers were like him!

We had arrived from the East Coast only a bit over a year before, when I picked Michael’s name from the internet. We needed our elder care documents, financial and medical, updated to California specifications, but Michael offered more than that –specific services of interest to old folks which none of the other websites mentioned. I could tell from the first meeting that we had made a good choice: he obviously knew the rules inside out and had integrity and patience. As a lawyer’s son, I wanted something in our attorney–client agreement made more specific and he immediately drafted a sentence to accomplish this “before our very eyes.” Highly recommend.

In 2012 I was referred to Michael Young to help me and my wife in the revision of our trust and will including elder asset protection. I found him to be compassionate, highly professional and displaying intimate knowledge of general and California law. I recently returned to Michael for a revisit of my trust and will. I strongly recommend Mr. Michael Young to anyone who is in need of legal assistance. H. Alex Doeff

Very impressed by Mr. Young. He promptly responded to my phone call, listened to our predicament and advised on next steps. Clear communicator, knowledgable, kind and honest. Just what you hope for when you’re looking for legal advice for an elderly parent.

Mr. Young genuinely cares about helping elders. He offers free seminars and brings in outside experts to add more value. He clearly knows the subtleties of California estate law and MediCal.

After attending his classes and using Michael to redo my 25 year old trust, I referred him to many clients for trusts, probate and estate planning. I find him knowledgeable, competent and especially caring to the client’s situation. Thank you Michael for your diligence and professionalism on behalf of our family and our clients and friends. I can’t recommend you highly enough.

Michael was very helpful for my grandmother and I. He took the time to sit and explain everything thoroughly as we worked to set up her after-life plan. He was very kind and responsive. If we need anything else in the future, we will not hesitate to go back. We have already recommended him to friends and family.

My wife and I reach out to Michael to set up a Trust. From the very beginning we felt very comfortable with Michael. He was very prompt with his responses, explained all of our options and let us know the pros/cons to each option. We had been meaning to set up a trust for a few years and after consulting with Michael, it was done within one month. We highly recommend Michael and have already referred friends to him. Thank you Michael!

I was referred to Attorney Mike Young’s free workshop on asset protection for elders. He shared a wealth of knowledge in an accessible, friendly way, helping me both understand the gravity of this world and also not be so afraid of it. I scheduled a consult with him after, and he was very gracious in explaining that he was not suited for what our family needs. In an almost 2 minute long voicemail, he shared why he didn’t think he was the right attorney for us, and gave us a referral to another organization, who, indeed, was able to help immediately and completely. I was so touched by his care and competence for non-clients, and would recommend his workshops and other services to anyone who is in need. Thank you sincerely, Mike!

Michael Young is a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney in the area of Elder Asset Protection. He is current with the ever changing law in relations to asset allocation and Medical related issues for seniors. He spoke at one of my community seminar on Elder Asset Protection. My clients and I took away much information that will help us save a lot of money when time comes. The ongoing newsletter is also very helpful with the every changing law. Thank you Mike.

My father and I have appreciated attorney Michael Young’s expertise and legal services. He worked with us to set up the necessary legal structures for my father’s assets and created all necessary documentation for us to sign. We looked to him for advice because of his specialization in elder law, and he demonstrated deep knowledge of the issues that were of concern to my father. We appreciated not just the assistance with our particular situation, but also the more general information he shares through newsletters and presentations. Michael was very willing to answer questions, clarify options, and explain issues in ways we could understand. Since establishing our documents initially, I have followed up with Michael with additional questions and he has continued to be a resource to us. I have respect for his knowledge of elder law and appreciate the ways he brings this to the community.
