My law practice is dedicated to protecting individuals’ rights and aggressively fighting for them in both criminal defense and family law matters.  Over the past 25 years, my office has experienced great growth.  Our focus, however, has remained the same – our clients.. While my professional background and experience is important for you to know, many of my clients appreciate learning a bit about who I am outside of work.  I have been married for 29 years, and my wife and I have seven children.  I stay active by participating in 5k races, riding my bike, and playing sand volleyball.  I am a fan of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln athletic programs (Go Huskers), and I also enjoy Tom Clancy novels.. As your lawyer, I will do my absolute best for you.

My goal for every case – no matter how complex – is to make the divorce process direct, efficient and easy to understand..

I was the first lawyer to enter a limited-appearance in any case in the state of Nebraska.. My clients benefit from my passion for technology and innovation. I apply tools that save time, money and aggravation. I created the Nebraska Child Support Calculator, a piece of software used by more than 1,000 Nebraska lawyers and judges. In the courtroom, I manage thousands of pages of exhibits from my MacBook, while many opponents lug boxes of documents.. I frequently speak on legal technology and family law. I provide annual training for the Nebraska State Bar Association on new case law and trends, and I have testified on family law issues before the Nebraska Legislature.
