Prior to starting his own criminal defense firm, Mr. DeKrey worked as a Federal Public Defender in Fargo, North Dakota, handling over 450 cases.

His caseload primarily included alleged drug possession and distribution, illegal gun possession, noncitizen illegal reentry, child sexual abuse imagery, and supervised release violations.

Before becoming a public defender, Mr. DeKrey spent three years representing average people taking on large companies at an elite class action law firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
