In 1943, the firm changed its name to Odum & Young and the firm continued its general practice until 1951 when John Odum died. Cam Young continued the firm under the name Odum & Young until 1955. In 1962, F. Thomas Young, Cam's son, joined the practice and it became known as Young & Young.

Tom Young retired in 2001 and since that time, the firm has continued to practice all over south Georgia where it has been a presence for almost seventy-five years, earning a reputation for hard work, diligent representation and excellent advice on behalf of its clients.
