Would recommend Young & Williams to anyone seeking legal services.

Ryan’s firm did an excellent job for us when our home insurance denied our claim that they had previously approved for a bursted pipe in our kitchen. I first tried reasoning with insurance to no avail, then tried California insurance commission and they were of no help. This firm took over and they did all the communication with insurance and their attorneys. We received full payment of the original quoted bids to redo our kitchen. I’d definitely recommend this firm.

I wasted tens of thousands of dollars being taken advantage of by this firm... lawyers that couldn't even get my name correct, didn't communicate with eachother, and accomplished literally nothing for me in my divorce. They continually tried to "go to war" with my ex-husband and billed me for things that were completely unnecessary, stoking a fire that did not even need to be lit. Funny how I was able to get my divorce finalized and processed with no anxiety or headache once I fired this firm. They took advantage of a vulnerable single mother and should be ashamed of themselves.

Attorney Jim Reape is very good at his profession. Speaks with candor, facts. Targets responses to all issues and concerns efficiently with great expertise. I highly recommend his firm.

Extremely knowledgeable attorneys and staff. Mr Jackman is detail oriented and explains all the possible options to take regarding all my cases. I’m very impress in the manner he approaches any questions that I have and his fees are very reasonable. I would recommend his services to anyone needing legal assistance.

I recently used Y&W services for a family law matter. The firm was very respectful and responsive to all aspects of my case. Mr. Young was very gracious and offered a creative solution to meet my needs and I was very appreciative of his efforts. I highly recommend the firm. Luisa

I was an unfortunate victim of Ryan when he was still a paralegal for attorney Scott Streed in Brea Ca. Filed a bar complaint on Streed and Ryan. Street only apologized for allowing Ryan to take my probate case and not following up because Ryan screwed me over. His unprofessionalism cost me 10k out of my own pocket and my dad's estate destroyed. As long as I can talk I will tell everybody who will listen how horrible Ryan is. Run from this guy

Jackman Law, P.C. has been an invaluable support since 2021 and continues to be there for me. As a client dealing with family, probate, and civil litigation matters, they have not only provided expert legal guidance but have also helped me navigate emotionally challenging situations. Their dedication is unmatched; the team goes above and beyond, often working late into the night to ensure every detail is addressed. I couldn't have asked for better representatives during this trying time. Five stars without hesitation!

Rand Pinsky is the most human lawyer I’ve ever spoken to. He was so helpful in providing me with the best information to help me with my issue. He’s as asset to his firm.

I talked to Attorney Jackman about my case. I found him very approachable, smart and caring. Unfortunately (my court was far away & because of distance) I could not initially hire him (& I regret it). His goal is not charging you (some lawyers do!) he wants results as much as you do. He is a bright man and a brilliant future in front of him. I strongly recommend him.

I recently worked with Jackman Law for my divorce. Ryan is an amazing attorney, family man, and he and his associates handled everything with precision. Professional, efficient, and empathetic— I highly recommend!

I would highly recommend you look elsewhere for your legal needs, if my experience is any indication of this law firm’s professionalism and competency. I reached out to Donahue, Young & Williams after finding them via Google, reviewing Yelp reviews, and checking out their website. Everything seemed fine. I had an initial intake call where I explained my situation and what I was generally looking for. I promptly received a legal services agreement, signed it, sent over the agreed upon deposit, and also took the time to compile relevant documentation, as requested by Kaylee. By promptly, I mean within three days. Kaylee and Sherry nearly immediately confirmed receipt of payment and documents, and all seemed well - I was confident that I was dealing with a professional and attentive law firm, and looked forward to getting robust advice. I expected this in a relatively timely fashion, as discussed and confirmed during my initial call. 2+ weeks, and 5 calls/emails later, I emailed to ask if someone could take just a few minutes to write back and give me a sense of when I should expect any feedback/insight/etc. This was a relatively simple landlord/tenant issue, and I’d provided well organized information for their review. Taylor Williams-Moniz, the attorney assigned to my case, emailed me, claiming that her office had called me several times (they had not), and tersely stating that though I wanted an email (I actually just wanted a response rather than radio silence), she needed to have a phone call. I wrote back confirming my phone number and asking if she could ensure they’d been calling me as I had to record of said calls, and also suggested a five hour window of availability for the next business day. No response. I had to follow up again in order to get a response from her legal assistant. To make a long and frustrating story short, Taylor Williams-Moniz was very nice when I spoke to her, but couldn’t adhere to deadlines she herself set. Melody Dosch was unfortunately not much more helpful than Taylor - and in general I found the law firm to be not extremely well versed on the law (in one instance, Melody told me she would have to get back to me as to whether my unit was covered under a common law that I was able to discover as a layperson, and which should be been considered in the legal advice granted prior to my question), then proceeded to go on vacation and refuse to put her perspective in writing until I followed up repeatedly and insistently. Mark Younger was also very nice, but also totally missed a call we had scheduled with no prior notice. I also never felt like they advocated for my position or were particularly proactive and believe they misrepresented my actions to my landlord’s counsel (to my detriment). And obviously, I really didn’t appreciate having to agitate for a response from them over and over again. I’d strongly recommend you look elsewhere, as it seems they have a burgeoning habit of playing attentive to get clients to sign, and then deteriorate from there. I also have strong questions on their expertise (at least on landlord/tenant issues) and have some ethical questions about their willingness to give advice without a seemingly thorough understanding of applicable laws.
