The
Gunslinger
Board-Certified Civil Trial Advocate. Forty-five years in the courtroom, almost two hundred civil trials, and over half a billion dollars recovered for injured people who had nowhere else to turn.
Our Rules
We Only Represent Honest People.
Every case begins with one question: is this person telling the truth? If the answer is yes, we fight without limit. Forty-five years of verdicts were built on that foundation.
We Only Take Real Cases.
Not every injury makes a case. We evaluate every matter with the same ruthless honesty we expect from our clients — and take only cases we believe in and can win.
We Never Quit.
They have to peel the case from my dead cold stiffening fingers. I will fight as far and as long as it takes to obtain what is right — regardless of the consequences. That is not a marketing line. It is a record.
Practice Areas
Auto Accidents & Car Crashes
When an insurer tries to lowball you after a collision, The Gunslinger steps in — fighting for full compensation across all of Southern California.
Slip & Fall / Premises
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail and you pay with your body, we hold them accountable.
Wrongful Death
No verdict restores what you’ve lost — but justice matters. We pursue these claims with the relentless force your loved one deserves.
Workplace Injuries
Beyond workers’ comp, you may have a third-party claim worth far more. We identify every avenue of recovery and pursue every responsible party.
Wrongful Termination
Lost your job illegally? We’ve won verdicts up to $17,000,000 for single plaintiffs. If your employer violated your rights, we make them pay.
Insurance Bad Faith
When your own insurer denies, delays, or undervalues your claim, that’s bad faith. We know their playbook — because we’ve beaten it hundreds of times.
Verdicts & Settlements
Over 45 years and almost 200 civil trials, Steven R. Young has recovered more than $500 million — real jury verdicts, won the hard way, in court.
Steven R. Young
Steven R. Young has been in trial — real trial, in front of real juries — for 45 years. Not in conference rooms. In courtrooms, with everything on the line, fighting for people who had nowhere else to turn.
He doesn’t take every case. He follows three rules he’s lived by since 1996: only represent honest people. Only take real cases. And never quit.
The hat isn’t a gimmick. It’s a promise: when The Gunslinger walks into a courtroom, the other side knows the fight just got real.
What Clients Say
“He didn’t make it a business transaction. He made it personal. My suffering was his suffering. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation.”
“One of the very few lawyers we could depend on. They’re real, they’re honest, they’re straightforward — and that’s not easy to come by.”
“I have never seen any attorney who bleeds the way Steve bleeds for his clients. He stands always for justice.”
Most accident victims never realize: the first 24 hours after a crash decides their whole case. That means you only get one chance in your injury case. Why risk it with an attorney who has never been to trial?
Steven R. Young has tried almost 200 civil jury trials. We have obtained verdicts of almost $500 million for our clients — and that’s not counting pretrial settlements.
