Youngs and Associates

Fort Lauderdale, Florida Federal Crime Lawyers

At the Fort Lauderdale Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers Office of Youngs and Associates, we represent persons accused of crimes before federal courts in Broward, Miami and West Palm Beach, Florida as well as New York and Colorado.  Our Fort Lauderdale, FL Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers and our Miami Federal Crimes Attorneys will advise you, the client, that Federal cases are much more complicated than state criminal cases for a variety of reasons. The federal government has vast resources and prepare the cases much more thoroughly than in state court. U.S. Attorneys generally have fewer cases and have many more legal assistants than state court prosecutors. In federal cases there are often numerous charges added on to the predicate criminal violation to assure a successful conclusion for federal prosecutors. Federal cases can be very complex where an accused could be facing numerous charges with a potential sentence of many years in prison. Our Senior Partner Michael Youngs has actually worked federal cases investigating and prosecuting them for 25 years. He was named as one of the top 10 criminal defense attorneys in the State of Florida by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys in 2017. We understand the position of federal prosecutors because in many investigations during our prior federal government experience we worked up the cases in the same way they are preparing the case against our client who is now being accused. Our attorneys can often more easily understand what the federal investigators have done on the case and where it could be going since we have the experience as former investigators and prosecutors in the federal system. We now also have new offices in West Palm Beach, Florida.
