A Skilled Defense for Any Criminal Charges
Criminal accusations are frightening, whether you have never been in trouble with the law before or you have a prior criminal record that ups the ante. A conviction as charged could land you in jail, cost you your driver's license or ruin future opportunities.

Nebraska Criminal Law Attorney
Lincoln criminal defense lawyer Doug Kerns has practiced primarily in criminal law since 2004. He has defended hundreds of clients on misdemeanor and felony charges, including:
- Drunk driving (DUI) and serious traffic crimes
- Drug possession and intent to distribute
- Shoplifting, theft, burglary and robbery
- Fraud, embezzlement and white collar crimes
- Assault, aggravated assault and manslaughter
- Sexual assault, child pornography and sex offenses
- Minor in Possession (MIP) and all juvenile offenses
Quality Legal Representation Does Make a Difference
Pleading straight guilty is not the answer. You won't get leniency and you might not realize the long-term ramifications. Doug Kerns finds the holes in the case against you and has built a rapport with the prosecutors and judges in southeast Nebraska and statewide.
His knowledge and experience usually enables him to negotiate a better outcome — even when it seems you have no legal leg to stand on. In many cases, we can get charges reduced or dropped altogether. You may qualify for alternative penalties or a deferred conviction that comes off your record if you stay clean.
If police have accused the wrong person or the prosecution won't budge, Mr. Kerns is fully prepared to take your case to trial to fight a conviction.
