I came to Richard through a referral from a friend. I needed some advice on how to resolve a custody matter. The initial meeting was very professional and informative. I left with the answers I needed. Richard was very courteous and honest with his advice. I will employ his services in the future as needed.

Just left Richard's office . I must say I really was all over the place going in and had so many questions Richard took his time walked me threw everything and I left there with a lot of peace!! I would recommend his office to anyone!

My experience with Richard E. Young was amazin, and I owe him immensely for setting me on the right path to solving my legal issues. He was caring of my situation and was very supportive throughout the process. I would highly recommend his services and I consider him a friend after working with him.

My divorce case lasted 3 years and cost $30K. At the end, he recommend I settle for $40K less than half our assets, and my ex had a great job and I had none, plus 2 kids to raise (my ex wanted 0% custody). After I fired Mr. Young, I was able to get back the $40K from my ex by representing myself. I was also able to get a much higher amount for both child and spousal support by representing myself. Mr. Young refused to give me my documents, which is illegal/unethical, and I had to get another attorney to write him a threat letter to get them back. Also, the whole time, I had the feeling he was keeping things stirred up between me and my ex so that we wouldn't settle, and he could keep the billable hours coming in. He told me that once the support numbers are set, they can never increase, only decrease, which I found out later is not true. If I had know support numbers can be adjusted up after the fact, I would have been much more willing to settle, (but that would have reduced billable hours...) Sorry I can't recommend this man. If you do end up working with him, you will need to check the math yourself if you want to be safe.

I would like to recommend Attorney Richard Young for all your family law needs. He did an excellent job on my DCS case .

Mr. Young is great to work with, and spent twice as much time with me as he charged me for. I left his office with a plan and a clear future. Thank you!

I had big problems with my child custody case at Lamoreaux Justice Center. The judge did a wrong order, and I had to spent so much money trying to fix the problem. All my previous attorneys just robbed me with their bills. They promised me so much and did almost nothing while charging very expensive for no reason. At the time when I came to Attorney Richard Young’s office, I was already in debt because of this case and didn’t have much. He said he can settle my case, and charged me only for 3 hours. But I know he spent a lot more hours on my case because my case involved a lot of complications. I know he worked for free many hours on my case. I did feel that he really feels what’s is going on, he cared. The father of my daughter constantly harassed and threatened with anything, he and his attorney would just fabricate reasons to take away my daughter. After Richard Young got involved, all harassments stopped. He did settle the case, and now I don’t need to hire any more attorneys. Attorney Richard Young really knows what will happen if you go this way or the other way, he knows the system and the people in this system very well. He told me how to write a letter to the minor’s counsel that helped. Without representing in front of the judge he settled my case in the right way, and now everything is clear and no more worries from my side. I really appreciate that he cares about my daughter, not about money.

Richard was very thoughtful and nice, he helped me with my Prepup documents and was extremely helpful and human which is rare to see from family lawyers. I highly recommend Richard to anyone thinking of or going through divorce or other family matters. Even preparation for marriage and financial planning. He is the man.

Attorney Richard Young has represented me for decades in over 3 cases for personal divorces and business litigation. He has become our family attorey. He has also represented several of my friends. Every time the result is the same. Excellent professional work and successful litigation. I highly recommend him.

I am an Orange County famly law attorney. I have referred dozens of cases to Sylvia Garcia. She is the best document preparer in Orange County, and family law is document driven. She grew up in South Orange County so she knows everyone. She is fluent in Spanish. She is licensed, bonded and has flawless background. She is a rockstar. Highly recommend.

I am an Orange County family law attorney. I retained Richard Young for my own personal divorce. He was fantastic. I retained Richard to go to trial for me to reduce my alimony and child support. We had a long trial that lasted for several days. Richard tried the whole case from beginning to end. He won for me and my child support was reduced and he cut my alimony in half! He went to Pepperdine Law School, which is one of the best in California. He is smart, diligent and thorough. Beware, he is one mean son-of-a-gun. But he is one hell of a good family law attorney. Highly recommend.

I have know Richard for many years and know him to be a competent attorney. he has practiced law in Southern California for many decades.
