The mission of the Youngdahl & Citti Law Firm (Y&C) is to fight for American workers. Dedicated to excellence, the attorneys at Y&C believe that working Americans deserve legal representation that is superior to the legal advice provided to America's wealthiest corporations. For almost fifty years Y&C and its predecessors have supported American values such as fair wages, the right to organize, equal access to justice, and the notion that corporations must honor their legal and ethical obligations.
Youngdahl & Citti believes that with zealous and intelligent representation, working Americans can successfully enforce their legal rights in court, no matter how powerful the adversary. From the smallest state court to the United States Supreme Court, Y&C has fought for these values and finds its mission more important today than ever before.
Youngdahl & Citti, P.C. is designated legal counsel for the United Transportation Union (UTU) and Brotherhood of Railway Signalmen (BRS). The firm has represented railroad workers in FELA cases for nearly 30 years.
Sara Youngdahl is currently the only woman in the United States to be named designated legal counsel for a rail union. Ross Citti is a lawyer with more than 30 years of experience as a litigator and mediator. Jay Youngdahl has represented union workers for nearly 30 years.
Youngdahl & Citti, P.C.’s main office is in Houston, Texas and also has offices in Arkansas and Tennessee. We welcome the opportunity to serve railroad employees, and will fight hard to ensure the best result possible in every case.
