FROM OUR CLIENTS
Mary Searcy Bixby
Founder, President and CEO, Altus – The Charter School of San Diego
“Operating today’s charter schools holds a unique set of challenges that are becoming progressively more technical. Excellent legal support requires a current, in-depth understanding of all legal aspects relating to education and, specifically, charter schools. Young, Minney, and Corr (YM&C) are superior in terms of having a broad knowledge base and a keen understanding of the political and practical processes needed to support charter schools during this turbulent and confusing transitional period. This firm is client-centered, professional, reasonable, highly ethical, and always offers a representation of which one can be proud. YM&C has our organization’s highest endorsement.”

“YM&C is the legal firm I turn to for professional, accurate, and timely information on all matters related to charter schools. In the past 17 years, I have relied on their specific and strategic advice on topics ranging from Board development to human resources, charter renewals, and regulatory nuances of the Education Code. Not only is the YM&C team knowledgeable, but they are also trusted members of my team that I can turn to and know that the support and information that I am receiving is the best! ”
Arina Goldring-Ravin
