So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we’ll be called a democracy.
-Roger Baldwin
When you or a loved one is arrested or charged with a crime, seeing a way out can be difficult. Hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer is the first step in getting your life back on track. The Kiernan Law Firm understands how you feel during these trying times and wants to help you in practical ways.
Being charged with a crime is a serious matter that can impact your entire life. If you are convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony, you will face serious consequences, including:
- Establishment of a criminal record
- Substantial fines and court costs
- Probation
- House arrest
- Imprisonment
- Court mandated therapy
You may also lose important rights and privileges that impact your ability to work at a job or profession of your choice, where you reside, the right to operate a motor vehicle in the case of driving while intoxicated or even how much you have to pay for insurance when you get something as simple as a traffic ticket.

Attorney Pat Kiernan brings a unique perspective to the practice of criminal defense law—he has extensive experience on the government side as a former St. Louis Assistant Prosecutor and Section Chief of the White Collar Crimes Unit. He has tried more than 130 cases and developed significant experience in the areas of DNA testing, white collar crime, and murder cases.
