Mr. York’s reputation precedes him. He was highly recommended by a family friend. I had a consultation with him, I listened to his advice and he took my case. All I can say is to follow his advice every step of the way. His meetings and advice are spot on. I really appreciate him and Leslie for all of their help throughout my case. I am so grateful for the York Law firm!

I had consulted three other attorneys before I came across Mr. York. As a physician I had been advised by other physicians to choose an attorney carefully. I had consulted with other attorneys (all were extremely sought after with great recommendations/ ratings and extremely expensive). Two of these attorneys told me in initial consultation that they are friends with the judge ( translates to me I want your business and I am not ethical) and others bad mouthed other attorneys (unprofessional). All the other attorneys gave me different advice based on their skill set- some advised me to settle, others advised to go to trial. So if your goal pertaining to what you desire as an end result for your case- the margin of the success of your case will vary depending on the skill set of the attorney you hire. An attorney who is not good at trial (difficult skill set) will ask you to settle at mediation. I came across Mr. York’s profile on line and liked the fact that he was a former police officer. Mr. York was a professional, his wife was a presiding judge and he never mentioned anything personal but truly relied on his skill sets and was honest. I believe what sets him apart from other attorneys is his ability to be a gifted trial lawyer. I think this is an extremely difficult skill set to attain and either you have it or you don’t. I don’t think any amount of schooling can teach you to be so quick on your feet in rebuttal and apply the law at your fingertips. I read some of the other reviews and he has been called an angel, a shark but I truly believe what makes him the best and sets him apart from every other attorney is his ability/gift to be a flawless trial lawyer and get you to the closest margin of your end goal. I don’t think there can be many other attorneys who can challenge his gift.

I retained the services of Douglas Ray York because I wanted to assure that I had done everything in my power to get the best possible outcome for all parties involved, especially for my kid. I also wanted to be fair. Douglas has all the firepower and legal prowess to get you what you want, but perhaps more importantly, the foresight and understanding to get you what you need. His services are worth every penny. Do give him a call, especially if you are unsure of how to get started or leery of the process. You will be glad you did.

Wow! What a wonder team of lawyers! Highly professional, strong values and genuine dedication to the case! I know for sure I chose the right lawyers for my case. Not only they achieved the great result but positively affected my personal growth and empowered me. Highly recommend!

Doug was amazing in helping us understand the court system and achieving us the best possibilities we could ask for. Doug is very patient and understanding and does what’s best for his clients! We would definitely recommend and refer Doug to our friends and family. We can not say Thabk you enough for helping us out!

Attorney York was very professional and accommodated everything I needed. I am so glad he was my attorney and would highly recommend him.

I am a father and an attorney. I knew very well that the public perception is that it can be difficult for a father to win custody, so I turned to Mr. Doug York to help me protect my children. Hiring Mr. York to represent me was the best decision I made. Mr. York tirelessly advocated for my children's best interest. He is a consummate professional and is the finest attorney in court I have ever seen. I definitely would not want to be on the other side of Mr. York, either as a party or an attorney. Mr. York always took the time to answer my questions. He never sugar-coated things. He gave me his honest professional opinion and his best advice. Mr. York is an excellent trial attorney so when my trial began, I knew I was in good hands. He knew my case inside and out. He was just right in his approach and demeanor in presenting my children's story to the jury over the course of several weeks. He is a fighter. The results speak for themselves, a unanimous verdict. When people ask me about my win, I tell them my children and their futures won. Thank you Mr. York.

I concluded my divorce with the help of Mr. York and I have to say a huge thank you! Although there were "up's" and "down's" throughout the process he kept me on track, even when I was thinking the whole process was too difficult and was about to throw in the towel. Thankfully I was guided through the whole process and looking back I was SO glad I hired him instead of another choice I reviewed. First the good: Massively aggressive! (I would NOT want to be on the other side of him!). I felt protected throughout and he seemed to take my case as if it were his own. There were times when I felt like a child hiding behind their father standing up to a wrong. His office is both professional and has a good sense of humor which makes a good mix. I felt at home. (In fact, his exact words were "this is your home during your divorce so get comfortable"). They kept me informed, I never had to worry about a return email, text or phone call. I felt like a load of bricks were off my shoulders. Now the "not so good.": If you're expecting a cheap out, you'll be highly disappointed. He is expensive but well worth it. I hired a lesser attorney and switched to Mr. York mid-way through. I wish I had started with him because even though he's more expensive than most, I probably would have saved in the end by not having Mr. York clean up the mess created by my first lawyer. He is also brutally honest, which is what I needed. He will definitely tell you the "weak" and "strong" points even when you don't want to hear that you will not get 100% of everything and thus leaving my soon to be "ex" in the street homeless without a dime. (...I can dream). In short, a HUGE thank you and would absolutely recommend him to anyone that has a complex divorce.

I hired Mr. York in my darkest hour. When I thought all hope was lost, he took my case and kept in contact all of the time, even on weekends. He assured me constantly and I'll admit I was a "hand holder" of a client, but that didn't make him angry or make him lose touch with me. He is a professional at every turn, and extremely knowledgeable. When I couldn't find it in me to fight anymore, he never lost focus and kept me on track. I know family law has its emotional moments, and there were times when I blamed everyone, even myself. Mr. York listened to me constantly and when I say don't get discouraged I mean don't hire anyone else! He is the absolute best. My issues were pretty complex involving a lot of property and custody. He has the skills and the courtroom ability to get the job done. Again, thank you Mr. York, you are much appreciated!

After hiring 2 other attorney's whom failed me, I hired Mr. York and thank God I did! I found out about 70% of his clients come from client who hired other attorney's and found their way to him due to complex issues that are over the head of most other attorneys. He is professional, and always responds to my calls and emails. I was always kept in the loop and never did I have to guess about the status of my case. Where others failed, he picked up my case and won! I know my case was a "handful" for his office but they always assured me with confidence and their whole office responded to my every need. At the end of my case I was very satisfied and they wouldn't let me settle for anything less than I deserved. Thank you Mr. York!!! I would recommend him for all of your family needs, and have no reservations in getting what you pay for. He's not inexpensive but well worth every penny!!! Trust and learn from me, before you pay for substandard attorneys pay the price and hire Mr. York. You'll get your investment back and then some. It's much wiser to hire him first before paying to hire him after other attorneys have failed you. I wish I would have hired him first, but I'm glad I hired him last. His personal attention was stellar. Thanks again and I hope this guides other people going through what I did. DO NOT hire anyone else. Trust me!!!

I hired Mr. York to represent me in a divorce. My husband's attorney tried to "low ball" me and Mr. York stood by thick and thin to get me a massive settlement! He was always concerned about my wellbeing, and made sure I was informed and taken care of through the whole process. My husband told me after the divorce that he wished I would of hired a "less aggressive" lawyer. Ha! Mr. York knew how to handle complex financial issues and would not quit until I was satisfied. If you want someone to keep you informed at all times, and someone that crosses his "T's" and dots his "I's" it's him. I will ABSOLUTELY recommend him to my friends!

Douglas has been appointed by the Judge to represent my kids twice. He has done an outstanding job of doing so while keeping his legal fees within reason. He meet with each of my children individually and acted in their best interest without revealing what had been discussed with each child. He always conducted himself in a professional manner and adhered to the highest level of integrity and ethics. My only regret is that now I can't hire him to represent me.
