History

Established in 1939.

In 1939, Bakersfield was a typical small town, rich in family values and community pride. Agriculture and oil created many jobs and offered an economic foundation for the city and Kern County.

Newcomer Joseph Wooldridge had just passed the California State Bar examination, and was working downtown in the Haberfelde Building as an insurance adjuster. Kern County native John Young, an attorney with a small office down the hall, met Wooldridge while pursuing a claim for an injured client. The two hit it off immediately. When the case had been settled, Young and Wooldridge became partners and their friendship became the foundation for one of Kern County’s oldest and largest legal institutions.

The personal touch John Young and Joe Wooldridge offered clients in 1939 is still very much alive at Young Wooldridge. The unique friendship between John Young and Joe Wooldridge has served to develop the ethics and business philosophy of this leading law firm of Kern County.
