Level the Playing Field

At the Kerns Law Office, we do not judge people accused of crimes. Our job is to defend their rights and freedom. From our offices in Lawrence, Kansas, we defend clients accused of felony and misdemeanor crimes throughout the state. We are experienced and knowledgeable, and we are determined to succeed for our clients. When your freedom and your future are at stake, depend on the Kerns Law Office. Every criminal case requires thorough, intelligent and zealous representation.

Defending Your Rights and Freedom

Our practice spans the entire range of criminal cases, including DUI, domestic violence, drug charges, white collar crimes, sex crimes, rape, murder, and other violent crimes. The government has immense resources at its disposal. The Kerns Law Office will strive to level the playing field and work to help you achieve a positive outcome.

We combine patient investigation and analysis, hard work, and energetic courtroom advocacy to deliver results for our clients. In numerous challenging cases we have succeeded in obtaining dismissals, favorable verdicts, and favorable court rulings. 

An Experienced Advocate

Attorney John W. Kerns began his legal career as former felony public defender in Wichita, Kansas. Since then he has represented clients in more felony jury trials than many attorneys conduct in a lifetime. These cases have included challenging cases involving violent crimes, sex crimes, drug charges, and other felonies.

Mr. Kerns works hard at every stage of the legal process to protect the client's rights. Each client can expect close personal attention from John throughout the legal process. No case is turned over to a young, inexperienced associate fresh out of law school, and clients are not "handled" by legal assistants. You will work directly with John, an advocate who is dedicated to succeeding for you.

Our Commitment to You

The Kerns Law Office believes that every client deserves an experienced, knowledgeable, effective, and compassionate criminal defense attorney. We will leave no stone unturned when preparing your case.
