Robert C. Younce, Jr. “Chip”

“I believe in giving quality, personal service to my clients. I become friends with most of my clients during the course of the case. Most of my cases are referred to me through past clients who trust me and were satisfied with what we did for them. I tell the absolute truth to my clients at all times — whether it’s what they or anyone else wants to hear or not. I also receive a substantial number of referrals from doctors, therapists, or other attorneys who know me, know my character, and know my abilities.”
