About

Dedicated to providing quality legal services in Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska. I have trial experience in both Cival Law and Criminal Defense.  These include any crime from a simple speeding citation to Class A felonies such as murder in both State and Federal Court. I have represented over 500 clients in OWI/DUI cases. In addition, I practice civil law such as Divorce, Child Custody, and Contract Disputes. I have represented over 300 clients concerning child custody and divorce issues.  These can be very complex cases that you will need an attorney with trial experience.  Child custody issues and visitation issues are the most difficult when whats most important is the child or children's best interests are critical.I understand that most people can not come up with large retainers.  I frequently set up payment plans including PAYPAL. I don't believe people that do not have large amounts of money in the bank deserve any less qualified and experinced attorney's than a person that is fortunate enough to have these funds available.I will give a free phone or appointment consultation to answer your upfront questions.Lastly, I would never advise anyone to proceed in any civil or criminal case without representation by a competant and experienced attorney

Very hostile to work with. Insisting that I write all my own questions for witness' w/o guidance of said task. Misplaced or destroyed complete 3 year file of evidence that with included photos, recorded meetings and countless witness affidavits, medical records, school records etc. Along with complete history of DV findings in district court. This attorney referred to DHS as "gods" in the courtroom. Refused to cross a opposing counsels witness. Spent 9-5 hearing the case against me with Zero objections from this attorney. Several weeks in-between opposing counsel resting and my defense. Didn't have expert witness' listed as such, so their testimony was more like that of buddy vs what they witnessed as professionals and the impact on young children. If you have kids and need a lawyer, don't pick this one. You may never see your kids again after he is done "defending" you.
