Attorney R. Davis Younts answered the call to serve his country after September 11, 2001, joining the Air Force JAG Corps while studying at Dickinson School of Law. As a military prosecutor, he earned a 98% conviction rate and national recognition for his work on complex cases. Transitioning to defense, Younts excelled as a litigator, becoming the Air Force’s top-ranked Senior Defense Counsel and leading high-profile cases involving homicide, sexual assault, and other serious crimes. Promoted to Major, he was later selected to instruct at the JAG School, where he modernized trial advocacy training. After deploying for Operation Enduring Freedom, Younts served as a senior legal advisor to the Pennsylvania National Guard, earning the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Despite his success, Younts returned to private practice, driven by his passion for defending Constitutional rights. Inspired by his faith and a calling to advocate for justice, Younts is dedicated to ensuring fair trials and equal treatment under the law for those facing serious criminal charges, believing that compassion and fairness are essential to a free society.

I highly recommend Davis
To be frank, Davis is nothing short of phenomenal. To be completely honest with you, utilizing the ADC would be your worst idea. More than likely, the ADC that you would get will not have anywhere near the amount of experience that Davis has and they are guaranteed to have more work than what they ca...

Excellent representation
I hired Mr. Younts firm to represent me in a serious, difficult matter and I was extremely pleased with the hard work, dedication, and effort displayed. Mr. Younts gave excellent personal service, answered all of my concerns, and did an excellent job during my hearing making a reasoned argument and ...
"Mr. Younts is someone that I actually had the pleasure of learning from, as a litigator. He was an instructor at the Air Force JAG school, preparing the newest JAG officers for one of their main functions, litigating cases. Though I had a history of practice already, and had taught trial practice at Creighton law for 4 years, I still learned a great deal from this very thoughtful and tenacious litigator."
"I have practiced law in the same community with R. Davis Younts for almost a decade. Davis is a consummate professional and advocate. Every client, cause, or case Davis represents is at the highest caliber. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"Davis is an outstanding attorney and advocate. He is hard-working, cares about his clients, and has superior courtroom skills. I recommend him to anyone in need!"
"Davis' reputation within the JAG Corps was second to none. He is a top-shelf defense attorney and litigator. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend him on any criminal matter."
"Mr. Younts was instructor at the JAG School, where I learned much during the advanced trial advocacy course and other courses. He had an excellent reputation within the community for legal knowledge, professionalism, and integrity. I endorse him!"
"Mr. Younts and I were on active duty at the same time, and both members of the military defense community. While I never had the pleasure of trying a case with him, his reputation in the Air Force as a defense counsel was absolutely excellent."
