Top best R Lawyers in OMAHA | 1384 available

Following in the footsteps of many of my first responder family members, my career in the legal field began as a Police Officer with the New York City Police Department. However, a work injury changed my path, and I traveled west to continue my passion for the law and received my law degree from Creighton University Law School. My experience with a work injury lead me to pursue a career helping other injured individuals. Now with offices in Omaha & Lincoln, my firm has helped thousands of Nebraskans with work and personal injury claims since we opened our doors in 1992. We've helped many families with the tragedy of wrongful death claims and other life altering injuries. I have a special interest in helping first responders and their families deal with injuries on and off the job and deal with the stressors and challenges that a job as a first responder includes.

Fighting for injured people is a noble cause.
