Mahdavi, Bacon, Halfhill & Young, PLLC got this award in 2021
Thank goodness for Mr. Young! He was very responsive and concerning for what I was going through. He was ready for the case before him. I was very pleased with his handling of my case. Thank you Mr Young job well done. I would highly recommend him to anyone, he's goes up and above for his clients.
My mother recently got into an accident so we contact Mr.Stephen. He was very responsive when it came to asking/answering questions. He was also very timely mannered when it came to his appointments with us. I flew down from Chicago and he helped accommodate a meeting making it convenient for my mother & I. One of his employees Mr.Matthew is also really great as well, definitely happy with our decision to choose Mr.Stephen and his team. Thank you for helping my mom Mrs.Mirza we greatly appreciate your excellent service and help!
My familiy and I cannot say enough good things about Allred, Bacon, Halfhill & Young. Their expertise extends to many different areas, and every time that we have required their services they have demonstrated an outstanding knowledge of the material at hand, which has led in every single case to a complete success in resolving the matter in question. Not only are all the lawyers we have dealt with outstanding, but also this includes their administrative staff.
In negotiation, the term 'ask' means what do you really want? Ken knows HOW to ask because he knows WHAT to ask. Respected by his peers on both sides of cases, his command of the law, his knowledge and his great sense of fairness, make him the guy you want to bring your case in court. Smart, steady and always thinking, he makes an awesome adversary.
Years ago, we went to Mr. Young to have our estate planning or trust drawn. While he can make a lot more money with doing a trust, Mr. Young advised us to do a thorough estate planning, since our children are all grown. Before we went, we thought this practice will for sure break our bank. As it turned out, it was very affordable, very thorough and gave us total peace of mind. Mr. Young and Lucy Boerum, his paralegal, are extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and always available for questions.
Jim was recommended by a business partner. Jim's expertise and experience was quite obvious from a client perspective. However, what was most impressive was the distinct impression of personal and business integrity. Simply put: Top Shelf Experience.
Mr. Warner Young is the best of the best as a professional and a person—trustworthy, reliable, smart and sincere. He has skillfully represented me on business matters. Knowing he is there gives me confidence to be bold and enjoy my work. He knows Virginia law and understands people better than almost anyone! Recently, he completed my personal will, medical power of attorney and general power of attorney perfectly and quickly. Ms. Lucy Boerum also helps make the processes easy for me.
Jim is not only a most professional attorney both in the court but also in other legal matter representation. His warm personality helps in client communication. His demeanor is always reflecting a calm, kind manor. It is so reassuring to me knowing that I have Jim as my attorney.

Hired Law Firm
Jim Bacon is a 10 out of a 10 and that goes for everyone that works at the firm. I know they have my back and allow me to run my businesses. Personally, I have recommended Jim and the firm to many of my friends and they all thank me and feel the same. There is no one or no firm that comes close to providing legal services. I feel sorry for any other lawyer that has to go up against Jim!!

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
