Over 30 Years Defending Our Clients Charged With a Crime
Whenever you are charged with a crime of any sort, having an experienced lawyer on your side is extremely important in achieving the best possible outcome. In addition to having an attorney who knows the law, you need someone who is knowledgeable about the judges and prosecutors who will be involved in your case. The relationships an attorney develops with those people over time are valuable commodities that can make a difference in a case.
ALERT!! Changes in 2023 to Nebraska weapons laws has eliminated the ability for you to be prosecuted for many types of possession or use of a firearm that have previously been illegal. If you are charged with ANY gun charge you need to talk to an attorney before talking any further action.
Drug Offenses
Drug offenses present a unique challenge for anyone facing such a charge. The penalties in both State and Federal Courts can be extreme and can include mandatory minimum prison terms. Many people caught up in such charges would be more accurately described as having a chemical dependency or addiction problem rather than a criminal. An experienced attorney will be able to determine if there is any possible alternative to prosecution and conviction, such as diversion or Drug Court. These alternatives can result in a total dismissal of your charges and sealing any public record of it. And our experience in dealing with the prosecutor and court can often result in negotiating an outcome that focuses on getting a client the help he or she needs, under court supervision, instead of being incarcerated.
Domestic Assault Charges
These types of cases, involving people in a family or other relationship, require experienced legal representation to assure that the factors that are unique to your case be fully explored and communicated to those who will be involved with your case. It is extremely important that the context in which this type of charge was initiated is understood for a fair and just result to be reached. We can do everything possible to make sure this happens.
Other Offenses
Any type of conviction, even for what seem to be minor ones or traffic offenses, can lead to obstacles to employment or cause problems in your future. There has been an expansion in the types of minor offenses that are eligible for diversion or other outcomes that erase it from any public record. Our experience and knowledge, and careful evaluation of your individual needs, will make sure you get the benefit of such alternatives and minimize or totally avoid the harm that can result from your arrest or citation.
DUI
The impact of a DUI ticket or arrest begins immediately, far before your first court date. The administrative revocation of you license and loss of any ability to legally drive can occur immediately upon being ticketed or arrested. So you need to contact a lawyer immediately to avoid the worst consequences that are triggered by just being cited or arrested. We can do what is needed to preserve your ability to drive and avoid the harsh effects and punishment a DUI can lead to. If you have a prior record for drunk driving, no matter where, Nebraska law allows the court to greatly enhance the potential punishment and impose a mandatory jail term. Our decades of experience, as well as detailed knowledge of the judges you could face or the prosecutor of you case can significantly improve your outcome, regardless of your record.
