For nearly eight decades, Young, Haskins, Mann, Gregory, Wall & Snyder, P.C. has proudly served Southern Virginia with trusted legal counsel and dedicated client service. Founded in 1948 by the late R.R. “Jim” Young, Jr., the firm was built upon a commitment to excellence, integrity, and strong advocacy—principles that continue to guide our practice today.

Jim Young quickly established himself as one of Virginia’s premier criminal defense attorneys and a pioneer in major personal injury litigation. Throughout his distinguished career, he earned the respect of clients, colleagues, and courts alike. His legacy remains deeply woven into the culture of our firm and continues to inspire our attorneys' commitment to serving others.

From its earliest days, the firm has successfully represented individuals and families in matters involving personal injury, medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, dangerous products, and other serious claims. As the needs of our clients and communities have evolved, so too has our practice. Today, we are proud to offer comprehensive legal services to individuals, families, businesses, financial institutions, and property owners throughout Southern Virginia.

Jim Haskins concentrates his practice on litigation and trial advocacy, with a particular focus on personal injury matters. John Gregory and Katie Ryan Snyder advise clients in business law, contracts, banking, residential and commercial real estate, and estate planning. Scott Wall maintains a broad general practice, including family law and civil matters, while also working closely with Jim Haskins on litigation matters.

While the legal landscape has changed significantly since 1948, our mission has remained constant: to provide practical legal solutions, trusted counsel, and personalized representation tailored to each client's unique needs. We value the relationships we build, the communities we serve, and the trust our clients place in us.
