I was referred to Chris by a friend to help me with the settlement of my father's estate. From day one, Chris was very communicative and understood my situation clearly. He quickly put things into gear and we went to court right away. Chris got a judgement in my favor and did a lot of work on my behalf. He is deeply knowledgeable in his field. I couldn't have selected anyone better and I highly recommend his services.

I was referred to Christopher Young with the Alvarez Firm, hearing good words of him I hired him to assist me with the family trust of my late father it was a long three year process and stressful at times and he guided me through step by step by phone appointments and e-mails he always returned my calls or e-mails or had his paralegals Tiffany and Kelsey assist with my questions or concerns. I am so grateful for his knowledge and patience I couldn’t of done it without him and I would definitely recommend him and his amazing team .... I was blessed Thank you

Chris Young has been instrumental in walking us through the legal web of conservatorship. His knowledge and expertise has been incredibly valuable. He is passionate about the work that he does and truly wants to do the best he can for his clients. We have been involved in a contested conservatorship case involving financial and emotional abuse for the past eight months. We approached Chris based on a recommendation of a friend and never looked back. We hired Chris in August 2018 and have relied on him ever since. Chris is thoughtful in his approach to solving conflict and potential problems and takes the time to explain why he is recommending a particular approach. Communication with Chris is excellent. He is easy to approach, makes time for his clients and is willing to break down complex legalities into easier to understand concepts. Chris is also a good listener and respects the individual nuances of the needs of his clients. Chris has been incredibly responsive despite family issues, illness and time away from the office. He has gained our trust and we look forward to a continued relationship with him.

We hired Chris to handle my mother-in-law's probate after she died intestate. He made the process so simple for us - he handled everything and explained what was happening each step of the way. Whenever I emailed him with a question or concern, he would almost always respond the same day - sometimes within minutes! He and his assistant, Tiffany, were professional, courteous, and efficient. My husband and I were very happy with the service Chris provided, and would highly recommend him!

Our family needed a probate attorney away from the areas where we all live. Chris was quick to step in and help in a difficult and volatile situation. He worked hard to reveal what had been going on and to get the case resolved and was always encouraging to us. I highly recommend Chris for his knowledge and ethics.

Chris Young has helped me out a lot, with excellent advice. He let me do some of the work myself using my paralegal family resources to save money, and doesn't inflate the charges at all. He is knowledgeable and very responsive. Chris has a pleasant personality, and I feel I can talk to him about any issues I have.

I have been involved in a very painful and complicated family Trust litigation matter. I was referred to Chris by a friend, an estate planning attorney, who insisted I would be pleased with his services, and I have been - even more so than expected. My experience with Chris has been truly ‘outstanding’. He is very strategic, clever, and knowledgeable in the areas of expertise I retained him for. He quickly gets to the essence of what I wish to achieve even when I do not explain it well. His summarizations of our phone conversations (I live out of state) arrive promptly, are accurate and exceptionally-well written. Chris has never once missed an agreed upon phone meeting, deadline, or other event. He is outstanding in preparation/presentation of materials (e.g. declarations) for the court. My wife (who has a law degree) is very impressed with his legal acumen and gift of effective communication. Without fail, Chris is accurate and fair in his billings. Finally, and very important to me, he is empathetic and has an uncommon level of integrity. Without reservation I highly recommend Chris Young to those considering his services.

After my mom's death, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) presented me with two Medi-Cal claims - one of each of my parents. In speaking with the Alvarez Firm, I was referred to Chris Young which did an amazing job in assisting me with the whole process of settling the claims. From start to finish, Chris always showed professionalism, kindness and understanding specially because I was going through the grieving process at the time and on top of that I was being asked by DHCS for payment on the claims. I would most definitely recommend Chris Young and the Alvarez firm to anyone that needs assistance.

My husband and I needed to have will/trust drawn up before leaving the country and naturally waited until the last minute. Chris and his partner were able to give lots of information and suggestions. The trust was drawn up and ready for us to sign before we left. We loved the ability to communicate personally as well as by email. We weren't charged by the phone call or email, so we really felt that we could ask all the questions we wanted. That was very beneficial. We also appreciated the kinds of questions that they asked us, it made for good decisions and understandings of what was best for us. Since that time, Chris has been helpful on several other small matters that needed advice. I find it very comforting to have a "go to lawyer" that will give me the information I need quickly. The value has been superb in very respect.
