We had a great experience working with Jesse L. Young settling our case against General Motors for violations of FLSA laws. He was very attentive and focused on getting our case resolved for us to receive the best possible resolution. We are extremely happy with the results of our case and could not recommend Jesse L. Young more

I would recommend Jesse and definitely use him again. He was always available to answer my questions and always kept me in the loop as to what was going on with my case. Jesse kept reassuring me that everything will work out even when I wasn't so sure and he was right, it worked in my favor. Thank you for your expertise and always being available.

Jesse is an amazing lawyer! I spoke with other lawyers that wouldn't take my case, then I found Jesse. He was very professional, stayed in touch and explained the process every step of the way. When I reached out to ask questions, he promptly answered; he was always there. I definitely recommend him!

When I first talked with Jesse Young over the phone, he was straight forward and sincere leaving little to question. Thereafter, my trust that my case was in good hands with Jesse and his team became solidified. Particularly, I was impressed by Jesse’s unfailing availability anytime I needed to be in direct contact. Jesses services were VERY much appreciated and I will not hesitate to contact him in the future.

Jesse young helped me on the class action lawsuit , and when I said he was more than amazing he was absolutely more than amazing . He kept me upbeat with everything I needed to know . I never needed to call him, he called me before I had to call him . He give me details on everything whether it was months in between he never left me out he made me feel like a part of the team . I think you Jesse for your time in your work .
