DUI/DWI
DUI laws change with every legislative session. You need an attorney who keeps updated on the ever-evolving law of Driving Under the Influence. The consequences for a DUI conviction go well beyond the punishment of the Court. Choose an attorney who knows and understands the collateral consequences of a DUI.
Sex Crimes
Robbery
Burglary
Theft
Assault
Murder
You name it, I’ve defended it throughout my lengthy career in the trenches of the courtroom. I’ve never shied away from a case and I have tried (and won!) jury and bench trials of every imaginable crime - from Murder to Failure to Yield. First Degree Assault to MIP. Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person to Shoplifting. That breadth of experience makes me well-equipped to formulate a unique argument for each new client and case.
Shoplifting
My legal experience has spanned 30+ years, two states and thousands of clients. A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Nebraska College of Law, I have represented clients charged with everything from Driving Under the Influence to Shoplifting to Assault to Murder. I appeared on the CBS news program "48 Hours", and am the former President of the Nebraska Criminal Defense Attorney’s Association (NCDAA). I have argued cases before the Nebraska Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, and am a member of the Nebraska State Bar, the United States Supreme Court, and the United States Federal Court.
