Watt and Young at a glance

Reviewers frequently praise the firm's criminal defense services, highlighting successful case dismissals, reduced charges, and effective representation in DWI and drug cases. Clients often cite the attorneys' responsiveness, clear communication, and ability to provide reassurance during stressful legal proceedings. However, a minority of low-star reviews criticize the office for unresponsiveness, lack of meaningful progress on sentencing, and perceived high costs relative to the outcomes achieved.

I couldn’t be more grateful for the way Greg represented me and treated me throughout the entire process. He did an outstanding job as my attorney, but what meant almost more was how comfortable he made me feel. During a time when I had plenty to worry about, he helped me worry less. He made me feel like a person he truly cared about. It felt more like having a friend in my corner. His encouragement inspired me to keep doing good and moving forward. Some of the things he said about me in court literally brought me to tears. I will never forget what it felt like to have someone speak about me with that much belief and compassion. I think very highly of him and his firm. If you’re looking for someone who will represent you well and treat you with dignity and genuine care, I wholeheartedly recommend them!

When I was told that they got this, they were not fooling. I did not have a clue what to do and Allison Young took care of everything. Thank you so much. Would I recommend? Yes I would. And I would use their services again if the need arises. Thanks again for all your help.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When I first began searching for a criminal defense attorney, I called multiple attorneys and was quoted prices that were simply out of reach for me. As a single mother, I didn’t have the kind of money being requested, and I was honestly becoming discouraged. Thankfully, someone recommended Watt & Young Law Firm. I originally scheduled a meeting with Mr. Watt, but due to a mistake on my end, I missed my scheduled time. That mistake ended up being one of the best things that could have happened because it led me to meet Mrs. Young. During our first meeting, Allison asked me what I wanted her and the firm to accomplish. I told her honestly, “I want you to make this go away because I am being falsely accused.” From that moment forward, she believed in me and worked incredibly hard on my behalf. Throughout one of the most frightening and difficult experiences of my life, Allison never once made me feel like she doubted my innocence. She listened to me, advocated for me, answered my questions, and was always responsive whenever I needed reassurance or clarification. I never felt like just another case or another client. Because of the hard work and dedication of Allison and Watt & Young Law Firm, my case was dismissed before ever going to trial. I will forever be grateful that they were willing to take my case, stand beside me, and fight for me when I needed it most. Allison Young, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for everything you did for me. You gave me hope during a time when I desperately needed it, and I will never forget that. I would wholeheartedly recommend Allison Young and Watt & Young Law Firm to anyone who needs an attorney who will genuinely listen, advocate for them, and fight for their clients. Thank you, Allison, for believing in me and helping me get my life back.

Ali Young at the Watt and Young Law Firm was a godsend to my family and I. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Game-Changer – Ali Young is the DWI Lawyer You Need! I cannot recommend Ali Young highly enough. I was ticketed for a DWI which threatened my drivers license and my career. With her background interning at the Missouri Public Defender’s office on serious cases and her experience working directly with judges and prosecutors, Ali knows exactly how to navigate the system. She meticulously reviewed every detail of my case, and fought aggressively on my behalf. Thanks to her sharp legal strategy and relentless advocacy, my DWI was reduced significantly, and I walked away with the best possible outcome I could have hoped for—far better than I ever expected. She genuinely cared about getting me through this nightmare and protecting my license and career. If you’re dealing with a DWI or any criminal charge in the Kansas City area, do yourself a huge favor and hire Ali Young at Watt and Young Law Firm. I’m forever grateful for what she did for me and my family. Ali didn’t just handle my case—she restored my hope when I needed it most. And her chocolates are the best. Thank you, Ali! You’re the best. 🙌 — A Very Relieved Client in Missouri
