Former Member of Larchmont-Edgewater Civic League President

Joe Young has dedicated himself to the law for over five decades, starting law school immediately after retiring from U.S. Navy active duty service. He is affectionately known as “Mighty Joe Young” by his clients, not only for his keen litigation skills, but for his absolute and tireless dedication to every case, and his great compassion for those who’ve been injured.

Mr. Young’s law career began in the insurance industry. As the years went by, Joe witnessed changes in the insurance claims industry, and as a result “crossed the courtroom” to represent plaintiffs in car accident cases, giving them the benefit of his knowledge of the inner workings of the industry, and the decided advantage of his passion on their behalf. “Mighty Joe Young” as he is known to many of his clients, has a huge heart and an equally big reputation for giving his all to every case and every client. He is the first one in the office each morning and one of the last to leave, and is truly tireless in his pursuit of justice.

 

Many of Rutter Mills’ five-star reviews reference Mr. Young, including this recent comment: “Mr. Young and his paralegal worked very hard together to get the settlement that he said that I deserved … (it took a while) to settle the case, but it was very well worth the wait. I would recommend Rutter Mills Attorneys at Law to anyone… Thank you so much … You guys are awesome !!!!”

Joe’s record speaks for itself. Case after case, his clients are getting what is fair after they have suffered injuries from a car accident. His inside knowledge of the insurance companies means Mr. Young knows exactly how to value his clients cases. When the insurance companies get a demand letter from his office, they know it’s a serious case.

Young’s commitment to his community made Rutter Mills a natural fit for him. He wanted to be at a firm that gave back to the people who supported them. From helping the local homeless population to advocating for the betterment of downtown Norfolk, Joe’s compassion is one of his most celebrated qualities. Mr. Young has also been a great friend and patron for the performing arts – notably the Hurrah Players of Norfolk.

Danielle E.

I came to Rutter Mills during one of the most difficult and terrifying times in my life. Mr. Young and his assistant Kathy Saunders were so welcoming and understanding. They worked diligently to handle my case. It is by no means a quick and easy process, however these two make the wait worth it. I hope you never find yourself in my shoes but if you do I highly recommend these two to help you along your process.

Donald D.

Mr. Young and his team exceeded my expectations in the way they handled the case and kept me informed. They got involved with my medical billing issues from the accident and a workman's comp claim. They have resolved the issues with workman's comp. I would whole-heartedly recommend this firm.

Sarice G.

Mr. Young and Ms. Kathy Saunders went above and beyond for me. The day I walked into Mr. Young's office I thought there was no hope for my case and I would never be made whole. I can say two and a half weeks ago my case was settled above and beyond my expectations. After 4 long years I have finally been made whole. Thank you Mr. Young and Ms Kathy. You saved my life.

Ebony C.

My experience with Rutter Mills has been great. From the very beginning when I was browsing their website, to being called the same day, after giving brief information on the web chat. They handled the entire process, and I was approved within 6 months.

Dorian F.

Joe Young and Kathy Saunders were the absolute best. They kept me informed and properly communicated all information with me in a timely manner. They also were able to get me the amount I requested without going back and forth with me. They were a true pleasure to work with and for this reason I will continue to do business with Rutter Mills.
