Our Story | We Are Y & H
The founding partner of the present-day Younge & Hockensmith, P.C., was Samuel G. McMullin. He began practicing law in Grand Junction in 1892, making our firm one of the oldest firms in Western Colorado. Dignified, reserved, and industrious, Mr. McMullin worked to establish business and financial institutions, many of which survive today. According to historians, Mr. McMullin's early law practice even included helping run townsite "claim jumpers" out of town at gunpoint.
The advance of civilization has made the practice of law in Grand Junction a bit less dramatic; however, Mr. McMullin's example of commitment to our clients' welfare and success has stood before our firm over 100 years. Along with the examples furnished over the years by Guy Sternberg, John Helman, Thomas K. Younge, and Frank Hockensmith, it guides our firm today.
