I came to Ian Valkenet with a very complex real estate matter. Without any hesitation, he came up with a plan that would solve my problem and be the most favorable for me. Over a year of litigation, Ian always kept me in know of what was happening in the case. He even took time to explain the more complicated areas. He is a very knowledgable attorney and always pleasant to deal with. I have worked with several attorneys through the years and my experience with Ian Valkenet has by far been one of the best. I highly recommend Young & Valkenet for your legal needs!

First off let me say if you are looking for an attorney you have found him! I’ve hired many attorneys in Maryland of the years and NOT ONE can compare to Ian Valkenet. He is honest, straight forward, and the most educated attorney in his field we’ve ever spoken to. Which was over a dozen for this particular case. Most of them even told my husband and I that there was nothing we could do that we were in the wrong. Deep down we knew that couldn’t possible be true. After speaking with Ian it was confirmed. There was something we could do. A lot actually and Ian was knocking them out like Muhammad Ali in the ring. You don’t get that a lot anymore with attorneys. They tell you things and don’t follow through . Not Ian! If he says he’s doing something it’s done. This man knew our rights and was honest with us. We have been in a lawsuit since Feb 2023. From the day we met Ian for a consultation we knew that this man was who we needed. He knew the law in every aspect you can imagine. It was incredible we were actually looking forward to seeing him in trial. For pure satisfaction of seeing the defendants faces. 😂 This man won without having a trial which saved us money but it would’ve been epic to watch him in this case. If you hire him and get to see him in that courtroom it will be pure satisfaction. Even in our case for motions to dismiss he was incredible. When he speaks you listen he makes you feel safe like you can really sit back and not stress because you know he is protecting you. Because let’s face it anything that involves going to court can be stressful. Everything he told us happened without hesitation. His phone calls were prompt always on time, didn’t send someone else from his office to court. We’ve had that happen on many occasions with other firms. He understands the importance of his clients needs and wants. Breaks everything down for you and ensures you understand step by step. We really appreciated that too. This man isn’t just in law for a paycheck he goes above and beyond for his clients. He is worth every dollar! We would hire him over and over again. Our only regret is that we didn’t find him a year sooner. The end result of our lawsuit was we won everything we asked for and then some. Ian we cannot thank you enough you will alway be on our speed dial. We will refer you over and over again because you deserve it! When I tell you there was nights I cried over this case before hiring Ian Valkenet I’m not exaggerating. My husband and I felt so helpless in this matter. After many phone calls with attorneys. We thank god we found Young & Valkenet. I don’t typically write reviews but after watching Ian represent us and our amazing outcome I just had to. For anyone feeling the way we felt this is the attorney you want on your side.

extremely rude and condescending toward potential clients, cannot provide referrals. want to provide some clarification since the owner was bothered enough to reply. was looking for a firm to help under tenants rights this firm is listed under the second search result. contacted them and was met with a supposed arrogant lawyer who was extremely rude. have found a much friendlier firm since. i dont know what services this firm can offer definetly not customer service atleast.

Ian is easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend if you're in need of legal assistance.

Ian has been a trusted resource for my company for several years now. The right law firm to have on your side.

Ian represented my company in the purchase of a real estate portfolio. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and made sure an agreement was reached that satisfied all parties. I fully recommend working with Ian for any type of transaction. We look forward to working with him in the future.

Ian has been very thorough, communicative, and dedicated in pursuit of our case. I have full confidence that my organization is being represented with professionalism and skill. He has patiently explained any jargon or legal machinations I needed to understand in order to make informed decisions about how to proceed at various junctures with the case, and has kept me updated promptly as things proceed. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Tom Valkenet was immensely helpful in advising me and addressing my concerns. He was very generous with his professional knowledge, which helped guide my decisions. Litigation was ultimately avoided. However, knowing that he had my back, if legal intervention became necessary, took the stress off a very difficult situation.

Timely response. Very knowledgeable . Answered my questions in a prompt manner during free consultation. Highly recommend!

I called in for legal advice and spoke to Mr. Valkenet today. He was extremely helpful and quickly got right to the heart of the matter and the legal implications of my problem. His advice was timely and accurate and put my interest ahead of his own by advising me that my case is not strong and I should avoid litigation!

Mr. Ian Valkenet assisted me in understanding, and how to properly respond to, a Non Disclosure agreement attached an offer of employment. Not only did he explain the contract in easy to understand terms, but he also had answers to questions I didn't even know to ask in regards to the agreement. I fully intend to use Mr. Valkenet in the future should the need arise.

Ian took on a case where a business next door came on my property and cut down 7 white pines without my permission, using a fake survey as justification. The lawyers for the business were mean and aggressive with ridiculous claims; Ian was great in his responses and ultimately they had to accept culpability. We came to a satisfactory settlement
