More importantly, Young has many years of bankruptcy law experience commencing in 1983 as a former in-house counsel for First Interstate Bank of Nevada.

In Wyoming he closed his Casper law practice officially on September 30, 2021, and moved for family reasons to Portland, Oregon where he currently resides. Today, he conducts a virtual law practice in bankruptcy exclusively so as to concentrate on providing Wyomingites with quick, easy and competent bankruptcy representation. Today, it's a digital world, and in Wyoming all bankruptcy hearings and U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee meetings have been conducted remotely by video since pre-pandemic. All appropriate paperwork is filed electronically. Today, this operates as a major convenience for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Cheyenne, for the trustees, for the attorney and for you, the consumer.
