"I highly recommend his legal services"
Mr. Young was my attorney for 7 years, during which he repeatedly defeated my ex-wife's attempts to completely alienate my children from me. I was able to maintain a good relationship with my son and daughter throughout, and I have Mr. Young to thank for that. My ex-wife was ordered to undergo a court-ordered psych evaluation, and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder [BPD], co-dependency, and alcoholism. Mr. Young understood how these traits manifested in the court room, and knew how to fight accordingly. He is a good attorney and a good man, and I highly recommend his legal services. Also, as a Santa Monica native, I interviewed a number of Attorneys in the area, and found that Mr. Young was the best qualified to address my family's needs and issues.- GJS -
"I can't recommend Mr. Young highly enough"
My husband's former wife was destroying our lives. Out of desperation, I called Clarke Young and he helped both my husband and me understand and appreciate Borderline Personality Disorder. From that point forward, our case made a 180 degree turnaround, and we were able to neutralize the negative impact my husband's ex-wife was causing. I can't recommend Mr. Young highly enough.- E.P. -
