Criminal Defense

Whenever you have been charged with a crime, it is crucial for you to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Even if you think you are guilty and do not plan to fight the charge, a lawyer can often obtain a better outcome than if you appeared without a lawyer. Ideally, you should not even talk to the police until you have consulted with a lawyer. Many clients have inadvertently made their situation more difficult because they thought they could just explain everything to the police and then they would not be charged. Often, the police will encourage that notion. Police are required to stop questioning you as soon as you state that you don't want to say anything until you have talked with a lawyer.

Juvenile Court

As the name implies, juvenile court proceedings are always about the welfare of a minor child. The State may file a petition against one or both parents for abuse/neglect of a child; or a petition against the child for either a status offense or a delinquency offense. Juvenile court is not a criminal proceeding; it is a civil proceeding authorized by a separate Nebraska statute.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is about making your voice heard even after you are gone. It is a way to provide for those you love, in the manner you wish, and according to the terms you have selected. In a sense, a well done estate plan provides you with a measure of immortality and ensures your voice will not be forgotten or ignored.

Probate

Probate is the term used for court proceedings involved with administration and settling of an estate. Probate may be formal or informal; depending on the circumstances. For very small estates, there are provisions to make the administration even simpler and faster. In each case, the estate is handled under the supervision of the probate court.
