Joseph Young

On retiring from U.S. Navy active duty in 1974, Joseph Young launched his law career. He started out by representing large insurance carriers. This was excellent training in learning the Personal Injury claims process inside and out.

Over the years, however, he witnessed changes in the insurance claims industry, and as a result “crossed the courtroom” to represent plaintiffs in auto accident cases, giving them the benefit of his knowledge of the inner workings of the industry, and the decided advantage of his passion on their behalf.

“Mighty Joe Young” as he is known to many of his clients, has a huge heart and an equally big reputation for giving his all to every case and every client. He is the first one in the office each morning and one of the last to leave, and is truly tireless in his pursuit of justice.
