Services
DUI Defense
Our DUI defense practice challenges breathalyzer accuracy, police procedure validity, and field sobriety test reliability. We handle first-time offenses through complex felony DUI cases with potential penalties including license suspension, fines, and jail time. Our attorneys appear in all Nebraska municipal and district courts to protect clients' driving privileges and criminal records.
Felony Defense
We defend against Class IIIA through Class IIA felony charges including drug trafficking, violent crimes, and repeat offenses. Our approach examines evidence collection procedures, witness credibility, and sentencing guideline applications to minimize prison time and lifelong collateral consequences.
Juvenile Defense
Our juvenile defense focuses on diversion programs and rehabilitation rather than punishment. We advocate for alternative sentencing options while protecting minors' educational and employment prospects following arrests for theft, drug possession, or assault charges.
Drug Charges
We challenge drug possession and trafficking charges by examining search warrant validity and chain-of-custody procedures. Our defense strategies address both misdemeanor marijuana possession and felony drug trafficking allegations under Nebraska law.
Theft Defense
Our theft defense covers shoplifting, burglary, and robbery charges with penalties ranging from fines to multi-year prison sentences. We investigate property valuation methods and ownership documentation to challenge prosecution evidence in misdemeanor and felony cases.
