Posted by anonymous | January 04, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

A Fantastic Lawyer

Ms. Youngman represented me, a father, in a child custody and support case. Her knowledge and experience is exemplary of what a lawyer should be. She was always calm, secure, and confident, even when dealing with an abrasive opposing counsel. Family Law can be stressful and her educated awareness of ...the proper procedures coupled with her compassion and dedication to protecting my rights as an active and participating parent in my child's life made me feel at ease throughout the process. She has a no-nonsense attitude I found quite refreshing, helping to educate me along the way. I highly recommend her services.

Stellar Representation

Ms. Youngman represented me on a lawsuit that resolved recently after a year. She did a stellar job representing me on a complicated spousal support case. I am very pleased with the result of her efforts and I could not recommend her more highly than I do! She was thorough, always available by pho...ne or email, compassionate, honest, and dedicated to achieving a positive outcome for my case. I felt like I had a voice in the legal system that I could be confident in and trust. I am very grateful to Ms. Youngman for handling my case, and I can confidently recommend her to anyone considering hiring her firm to represent them on any legal matter.

Finest lawyer I have ever encountered...

I hired Ms. Youngman to help me with a separation issue. I was AMAZED at how helpful she was. She handled the judge like a pro. She has great bedside manner!! She explained everything to me in words I could understand. She was available to me when I needed her. And she kept me up to date on so...me lingering issues, even after the case was over. My cased worked out very well and I am sure it was because of her professional prowess.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
