Our Firm

Bringing together decades of railroad experience and a proven track history of record trial results, Doyle Dennis Avery LLP and Sara Youngdahl of The Youngdahl Law Firm, P.C. have joined forces to build a team able to provide the highest level of support for railroaders and their families.

Sara Youngdahl is the only in the United States designated as legal counsel for S.M.A.R.T., one of North America’s most active rail unions. Michael Patrick Doyle, Patrick Dennis, and Jeff Avery are law partners at Doyle Dennis Avery LLP who have tried cases coast to coast for workers and their families, including railroaders. When you put together decades of experience and passion for supporting working families, you know you and your loved ones are in the right hands.

The best lawyers know that to achieve the best results, you need to put in the hard work of understanding the facts and developing the evidence for the judge and jury to see at trial. And once you build the case to go to trial, you also need lawyers able to present a powerful and true story for the most compelling results. The railroads and their teams of lawyers press hard on injured workers and their families in the worst of circumstances, and railroaders need lawyers who can stand by their side in the toughest circumstances.
Lawyers representing railroaders must know the railroad industry, the laws and regulations that protect its workers, and something about the work that men and women do every day in our vital transportation industry. Coming from a family that has represented hundreds of union members and their families for over 60 years, Sara Youngdahl has at her fingertips the knowledge and experience needed to do just that. Michael Patrick Doyle and the lawyers at Doyle Dennis Avery LLP try more cases every year, successfully, than many lawyers do over the course of their careers. Should you be injured at the railroad, you need help from the powerful and ready team at The Youngdahl Law Firm, P.C. and Doyle Dennis Avery LLP.
