Experienced, very busy, yet took time to help me evaluate whether I needed him or not. I felt lucky to find him. I wouldn't hesitate to send a friend or relative to him for employment law issues.

The true people’s lawyer. So grateful to have him on my side, I even fired the attorney handling my case. Nothing like having a piece of mind and confidence that you’ve got a top notch attorney fighting for you, and he’s so cool.....! Thank you again Mr. Monroe.

Spencer Young just spoke at the February East Bay Women's Network (EBWN) monthly speaker & networking luncheon in Alameda. His presentation was extremely informed, passionate and dedicated to helping women & people exercise their rights to a safe, equal, respectful work place and career. I am so appreciative of his generous sharing of his experience and expertise.

Eric is fantastic. I felt anxious and unsure about the whole process, I called him up, and we did a free consultation out in Oakland. Honestly, for something as intimidating as bankruptcy, Eric made the whole process feel way better. He knows what he is doing, he tries to make the call based on if it sounds right for you, and seems to really care about his clients. We completed the whole process and I couldn't be more thankful. If you're worried and want to work with someone who genuinely comes off like they care, I can't recommend a better person. I only had to meet up with him physically three times over this whole proceeding and each time was a pleasure. There was absolutely no pressure on his end and I couldn't have hired a better attorney for this.

My meeting with Mr. Spencer Young provided me with great insight and helpful benefits to guide me through dealing with the protection of my privacy rights. He provided guidance, suggestions, and recommendations to assist me with my troubling work concern. I greatly appreciate the time, his effort, and above all his professionalism that he provided. I am much better after meeting with Spencer Young than without. He is very detailed, articulate, and he cares to help make my time spent with him worth it. Thank you so much.

The guy is the definition of efficiency. I have an issue that I wish i had called him about 1st. I called this morning, he got back to me within an hour. He took the time and told me his truest opinions on my issue which i feel confident in trusting, he even took the time to look up a few words i was given to help me gain a more accurate judicial comprehension. Mr. Young was even kind enough to provide me a few solid contacts for other issues surrounding my ordeal. I trust God, Jesus, my parents, my personal injury lawyer and now Mr. Young, I trust the guy like my grandparents! Allow me to again state, I get a very straight forward and honest feeling from the guy, I trust his experience, given the opportunity in the future, he WILL be my 1st call!

I consulted with Spencer about a work related issue I had. Spencer was extremely helpful, bringing up several potential issues I had never even thought about. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Spencer.

A real breathe of fresh air in the legal world. With the most level-headed and tactful disposition, Spencer returned my call and proceeded to answer all of my questions and provide very valuable not to mention insightful information. When I need such services he will be the first I call. He also offered to connect me to other services in the community. We need more mindful attorneys (and people!) like Spencer. Cannot thank you enough for alleviating a stressful situation.

Spencer is amazing. He helped me with a touchy work issue and did so in an efficient (saved me wasted dollars!) and effective (got it done right!) manner. I went back to Spencer later with a couple of other questions - again, timely and great advice. I hope I don't have any other employment issues, but in the event that I do, Spencer is the attorney for me. BTW, I've referred friends to Spencer, which is high praise from me.

Three years ago I moved to Alameda. I found a great job that I thought was very promising. However the tables turned and I was fired. A friend referred me to Spencer. Oakland employment lawyer Spencer Young helped me with my whistle blower, retaliation, wage/hour, meal break and rest break claims claims against a former employer. He fought hard for me, always promptly returned my phone calls and emails, and got me a fair settlement. He helped me move through a very stressful experience. I highly recommend Spencer if you need an employment lawyer in Oakland or Alameda.

I found Spencer through a mutual contact after I was terminated while on disability and lost my medical coverage, including the ability to pay for treatment for the injury. That first phone call with Mr. Young mostly consisted of me crying and trying to explain the timeline of events, but by the time we hung up, I knew I had made the right decision to call him. Throughout the entire process, he was nothing but professional. He listened when I voiced my fears, he explained everything in detail so that I stayed informed, and he helped me recover my lost wages and medical fees. I honestly don’t know how I would have survived without Spencer in my corner fighting for me. He became my advocate when I was too emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted to advocate for myself.

I am currently embroiled in a bad situation at work and frantically messaged attorneys this morning for consultations. Most responded with hourly rates. But Spencer called me and gave me an hour of his day at no cost to really listen, probe deeper, ask questions, and ultimately provide me with the courage and framework to move forward. My situation is evolving, so it is possible I might need the services of an attorney. Right now I don't. But when I do, it will be Spencer that I call. He comes off as very bright and a total fighter, which is what you'd want if you were taking on an employer. Thank you Spencer!
