A Kentucky native has returned home after being appointed a federal prosecutor in the Louisville-based U.S. Attorney’s Office.
U.S. Attorney Russell Coleman announced the appointment of Frank Dahl Monday for the office that serves the 53 counties and nearly 2.5 million people of the Western District of Kentucky.
Assistant United States Attorney Dahl is from Louisville and a graduate of the University of Louisville and UofL’s Brandeis School of Law. While in law school, he worked as a law clerk for the Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and subsequently served as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in the office after his graduation. During his 12-year tenure as a state prosecutor in Louisville, Dahl rose quickly through the ranks and became the narcotics section chief.
In 2018, Dahl began work as an Assistant United States Attorney in Evansville, working for the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. During his time at that office, he earned a reputation as a prolific case developer and handled a variety of cases involving drug trafficking organizations, violent crime, firearms offenses, and drug overdoses. During his time in Evansville, Dahl worked with both federal and state law enforcement agencies located in Kentucky in support of his work in Indiana.
