My goal for every case – no matter how complex – is to make the divorce process direct, efficient and easy to understand.. For the past 13 years, I have represented parents, business owners and high-net-worth individuals in hundreds of divorce cases. I have navigated the most complex legal issues in divorce, including changes to final property judgments, allegations of fraud, and contentious multi-year custody litigation. 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.
