Mindy Yocum is the founder of Yocum Law Office and is proud to have an “of counsel” relationship with Barkan Meizlish, LLP. Ms. Yocum is a general practice attorney; however, her work with Barkan Meizlish, LLP will focus on Social Security Disability.
Ms. Yocum was born in Shelby, Ohio and moved to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. Ms. Yocum received her law degree from Capital University Law School, graduating Cum Laude, with a concentration in employment law.

In an effort to make sure that everyone has access to legal resources, Yocum Law Office offers flexible fee structures, brief legal advice clinics and educational workshops, throughout central Ohio.
