Public Corruption

Your position as a public official and your reputation has been earned over a long period of time in most cases and your reputation can be destroyed and your life changed forever in an instant.  Prosecutors and judges as well as the public as a whole wish to punish those they believe to be corrupt officials even more than typical repeat offenders due to a public official’s position of trust. 

This is why you need an aggressive experienced attorney who knows how federal investigators approach these matters and how prosecutors proceed to indict and seek maximum penalties in cases of public corruption.  You need the Law Offices of Youngs and Associates to guide you through the maze in federal criminal defense cases and help protect your reputation and prevent you from being convicted for a false accusation.  In many instances once law enforcement officers and prosecutors have targeted a public official for prosecution because they believe so strongly that he or she may be involved in criminal activity, it is difficult to stop the momentum unless you have an experienced attorney who can sort out the details and motivation involved in many federal prosecutions.

Public officials who are under investigation for or charged with abuse of public office need a legal advocate with the knowledge and experience to defend them. We serve federal, state and local public officials who are facing both federal and state criminal charges such as:

An arrest, indictment or even an accusation of any of these serious charges can ruin your public image, reputation and career. An experienced, aggressive defense attorney can handle your case paying special attention to protect your public reputation and position of influence. Public corruption charges are usually prosecuted in federal court, so you also need a trial and defense lawyer who has the experience and skill in handling federal cases.  Attorney Michael Youngs was an FBI Special Agent Attorney representing the government for 25 years in prosecutions.  Mr. Youngs handled criminal defense cases before he entered the FBI and he and his associates have spent the last 8 years defending clients accused of public corruption and other federal criminal offenses.

Public corruption cases often involve some of the same crimes charged in white collar crime matters, such as embezzlement, fraud relating to government funds, or money laundering. The public nature of the service of the accused, however, makes these cases all the more serious.

If you are a law enforcement officer, building inspector, federal employee or state or other local government official who is accused of public corruption or abuse of public office, you need to call us immediately and remember not to agree to be interviewed by law enforcement officials unless we meet with you first and then accompany you.

Call us immediately if you are contacted by law enforcement…It is your right to seek counsel.  Many people believe that people who ask for their lawyers have something to hide, but even law enforcement officers at the federal level understand this right and are the first people to request an attorney because they know the value of having an aggressive attorney representing an accused.

Defendants who try and act as their own lawyers are very foolish because the purpose of law enforcement interviews is not to help you but rather to obtain statements from you one way or another in order to use them in court against you later.  You must control your emotions if you are accused of public corruption and contact the Law Offices of Youngs and Associates, P.A. at (800) 516-0005.
