Young, Robert J.

We are in the accountability business. In nearly every important aspect of our lives, we put our trust in the professionals we pay to help us prevent and resolve problems - whether that person is a banker, lawyer, investment adviser, accountant, or auditor. In this day, where the problems exemplified by the Enron and Arthur Andersen scandals seem widespread, it is more important than ever to have the type of advocate and law firm behind you that can stand up to a billion-dollar adversary. We have worked hard to earn that qualification.
