At Young, Sommer LLC, the needs of our clients are our first priority.  As a medium-sized law firm, we are small enough to provide personalized, cost-effective service and large enough to have experience and expertise in a wide range of practice areas.  Our attorneys are former law school professors, former Assistant U.S. Attorneys and skilled private practitioners.  Our clients include some of the most complex regulated facilities in New York State, along with Fortune 500 and many smaller companies, municipalities, land developers and individuals.

While we are recognized, both locally and nationally, for our expertise in the realm of environmental law, our practice extends to a broad range of issues. We offer extensive experience in corporate law, municipal law, labor and employment, land use and zoning, power and energy, and general litigation. We are also active in Special Education law, representing both school districts and parents with disabled children.
