What Others Say

I do what I do because I believe everyone deserves a fair chance. If I succeed in helping my clients, I’m happy. Still, it’s rewarding when people take the time to thank me. Here is just a small sample of the kind of responses I have received in the past.

Thank you so very much David for everything you helped me with over the past year. Obviously I wouldn’t have had the positive outcome without you!


David Young provides an excellent service. Very friendly manner and is easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable within his profession, reliable, trustworthy and had my best interest at heart, not his own. Thanks David for providing me with an impeccable service. Pleasure to deal with and very much appreciated.


Hello David I never go the chance to say thank you for the work , time and effort that you put into my case . You believed me   from the start when so many did not . I was honest from the start . I know time has passed but I wouldn’t be able to have the life I have now if things went wrong . Thanks you so so much .


Thanks David

Our world fell apart one day, out of no where, when we learnt that a very close family member was in trouble with the law in NZ. To top it all, he was a foreigner in the country and the criminal charges against him were very serious.

David Young worked diligently with what he had in front of him to deliver, what we perceived to be, an excellent legal representation of a very difficult case. We were extremely fortunate to have David in our corner. He not only did his job with integrity and grace, but he actually brought to the table a personal touch, a compassionate approach, which provided the family a lot of solace and comfort during a very difficult time. Trust was built with David right away and we felt safe with with his defence strategies.

David Young, is a brilliant lawyer, very thorough , experienced and highly professional in his approach. Without mincing his words, he will speak the truth about the case and will approach it head on from a place of strength. There is calmness in his voice when he speaks, which immediately puts people at ease. His respect for client privacy is admirable. A very attractive feature about David’s personality is his humility. His feet is firmly on the ground and he discusses the details of the case, without any judgement, or prejudice. This quality in a person is rare and restores faith in humanity.

Thank you David, for your very robust and skillful defence both in the District Court and in the court of appeal. You were met with some very difficult challenges along the way, but you persevered in spite of them. We are truly grateful and will always remember your kindness and compassion. Keep up the good work! We were delighted with the end result.

Should a person find themselves facing a criminal conviction with very real and serious life changing consequences if convicted, there is one Lawyer who I recommend to call without hesitation.

Mr David Young-Criminal Defence Lawyer once contacted provided me with an immediate assessment of my position and further recommended course of action I should follow. All options and scenarios were explained to me in detail and the likely outcome of each.

I took Mr Young’s recommendation and followed the instructions to the letter, Mr Young further debated the case with the Judge at sentencing leading to a “Section 147 with no conviction”.

Mr Young – Thoroughly professional, calm, experienced voice of instruction when the client’s faced with extreme stress…..exactly what you need from a criminal defence lawyer.

Thank you David, forever indebted.
