Federal Criminal Defense Attorney
Federal criminal law is not the same as state criminal law. When you have been investigated, indicted or arrested by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the United States Postal Service (USPS), IRS, SEC, the Secret Service or the U.S. Treasury, contact federal criminal defense attorney John W. Kerns. A federal conviction can have life long consequences. Hiring a highly-qualified defense attorney is paramount.
Issues including your level of cooperation, making bond, addressing search warrant issues, and attacking the federal indictment are all relevant to federal criminal defense. Facing a government with stringent federal sentencing guidelines is no walk in the park. At the Kerns Law Office we represent people who are facing this powerful entity.

A defendant charged with a federal crime must appear before judge who will determine whether you will be free on bond or held in jail until trial. You will be required to meet with a pretrial services officer with federal probation who will gather information from you and compile a report for the court, the prosecutor and your attorney. An attorney should be present for this meeting. This information in the report can help the court determine whether you are released from custody.
If you have been or may be indicted in federal court you need to understand that the investigation is an ongoing matter often with local and federal agencies working together. An effective federal criminal defense attorney is familiar with all relevant case law. As your attorney, John W.
