After receiving his bachelor’s degree, Mr. Youngblood attended the University of North Florida, where he received a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology.

Thereafter, Mr. Youngblood attended law school at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Florida. Before his final semester of law school, Mr. Youngblood took one week off in order to finally marry his high school sweetheart who Mr. Youngblood had dated for over ten years. Through hard work and determination, Mr. Youngblood was able to graduate from law school six months early. Additionally, while in law school, Mr. Youngblood gained vital experience in the practice of law while clerking with a successful personal injury firm in Jacksonville, Florida for over a year and a half.

Upon passing the bar exam, Mr. Youngblood returned to Gainesville, Florida, where he now practices law as an associate attorney with the Law Office of Robert W. Bauer, P.A., a general civil litigation firm. As an attorney, it constantly surprises Mr. Youngblood just how much the education and experienced gained from psychological counseling has proved useful in his interaction with others. Be it through mediation, negotiation or litigation, possessing such knowledge regarding human psychology and behavior has become one of his greatest strengths as an attorney.
