About

Scott began his legal career working at Legal Aid of Nebraska in May 2007. Beginning in October 2008, Scott served as the Client Attorney at the Women's Center for Advancement in Omaha (formerly the YWCA), where he worked until joining Hightower Reff Law as an Associate Attorney in September 2015.  In March 2019, Scott was given the high honor of joining the team as an Associate Attorney at Koenig Dunne, PC, LLO, the premier family law firm in the Omaha metro area. During his time at the Women's Center for Advancement (WCA), the majority of Scott's legal work involved family law and immigration issues, with an emphasis on cases involving domestic violence/sexual assault issues. While working as the sole attorney for WCA clients, Scott pioneered a new program to expand the organization's ability to help domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. Beginning in the spring of 2014, he partnered with private attorneys to begin a monthly WCA Legal Clinic to help people representing themselves in family law cases. Scott also led the WCA's successful effort to become a social services agency recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals. In his current position as an Associate Attorney at Koenig Dunne, Scott's primary practice area remains family law cases and issues, including being one of few local attorneys to practice Collaborative Divorce as a member of the Nebraska Academy of Collaborative Professionals.Scott is an active member of the Nebraska State Bar Association and the Omaha Bar Association, and an alumni of the NSBA's Leadership Academy, Alpha Sigma Nu, and New Leaders Council. Scott is also a member of the Academy of Greater Omaha Young Professionals, Center Sphere (Chapter President), Downtown Omaha Inc., Robert M. Spire Inns of Court, and Nebraska Academy of Collaborative Professionals. Scott recently completed a 2-year term as Chair of the Nebraska State Bar Association's Subcommittee on Limited Scope Representation, and remains on as Vice-Chair of the subcommittee. Scott also recently became a member of the Self-Represented Litigation Committee of the Nebraska Supreme Court. Scott continues to give presentations to the Bar and general public alike on the benefits of limited scope representation, and the needs and concerns of self-represented litigants. In 2018, Scott was honored to be the recipient of the Omaha Bar Association's Champions of Law Award for his contributions in Education. In April 2019, Scott had the honor of appearing before and presenting his first oral argument to the Nebraska Supreme Court. In the near future, Scott's work on the Nebraska Limited Scope Representation Toolkit will be showcased when it appears on the Nebraska Supreme Court's website for pro se litigants. Currently, you can find Scott's work entitled "The Do's and Don'ts of Limited Scope Representation" in the Nebraska State Bar Association's 2019 Family Law Manual. In July 2019, Scott was informed by the Greater Omaha Chamber of his selection to Leadership Omaha Class 42, which is designed to develop effective leaders who will strengthen and transform their community.

Scott Hahn has helped me during a very difficult time in my life that no parent or spouse desires to go through. Scott is very patient, knowledgeable, caring, and an advocate of parental rights in all conversations. I have been most impressed with Scott's attention to detail, communication, genuinely shows that he cares about the person he's representing as well as everyone impacted during the divorce process, and his ability to be honest rather than promise and under-deliver. Scott has represented me during my divorce and he has always been up front with me on what he is doing on my behalf, that divorce process stages, and what I need to prepare myself for as I go through the divorce process. I was referred to Scott from a friend and after watching Scott in action I can't thank my friend enough for his advice to retain Scott as my attorney. Scott has always been up front with me about what I need to do to protect myself and my child even when I wanted to hold out hope that my marriage could be saved. Scott continues to support my efforts to try repairing my marriage but has informed me of the guidelines I need to work in to protect myself if those efforts continue to remain unsuccessful. It is nice to know that Scott is protecting me when I am unable to lose all hope and that he ultimately wants a family to stay in tact unless divorce is forced or the desired path of both spouses and in the best interest of the child or children. I have a lot of respect for Scott and the work he's done for me, he's someone I feel comfortable confiding in and I trust Scott to only communicate the information he knows is relevant to my case. We have only had one court appearance but as a father who was faced with an immediate custody dispute I was very impressed with how much information Scott had based off our conversations at various times in preparation of the hearing. Scott is very organized and will communicate to you what you need to prepare yourself for based off is experience in similar cases/situations which is something every spouse should understand going into a divorce. Scott was able to overcome many of my own self-inflicted obstacles in my case and presented me with an opportunity to overcome these obstacles going forward. Scott has never advised me to retaliate against my spouse and any attempts to do so that are not legally justified have been filtered out which is the best method to have a peaceful resolution to an already very emotional and painful process. I will refer any person going through a divorce to Scott Hahn, he is a supporter of your rights as a parent and spouse but cares about you as a person above all else! I have all of the confidence that Scott will prevent me from damaging myself, my relationship with my child, and any potential co-parenting relationship I want to have with my spouse going forward.

Scott has been nothing but helpful in my case. The communication I've received from Scott is a breath of fresh air. Knowing that quick communication with my attorney is a phone call or email away helps ease my anxiety as I navigate my case. I feel that Scott sees me as a person, not as a paycheck. I have never felt that I am being taken advantage of financially. Every penny spent is worth it to have Scott as my attorney. I feel that Scott has been very supportive of me and I trust his instincts as a lawyer. It was very important that I have a lawyer that wasn't judgmental or condescending. Scott is neither of those. He listens intently and explains things in a way that I am able to understand. When you're going through your darkest days, it's nice to have someone like Scott on your team.

Mr. Hahn was extremely patient in a simple divorce relating to property division. It took over 8 months and thousands of dollars to reach a settlement, due to missed deadlines and personality issues. I would use Mr. Hahn again, he was very supportive, having my best interest in the forefront at all times and patiently explained and/or re-explained questions that I had; always listening to my concerns. In the end, he encouraged me to go for more, which I was able to attain, and continues to protect me.

Mr. Hahn has been representing me in a custody modification since December 2020. At that time, he took over for another attorney that had left Koenig Dunne, and he has been on point ever since. His attention to detail is much appreciated, and possibly only surpassed by his ability to communicate. Mr. Hahn has been very proactive, makes sure I understand the current state of the case, and if we ever didn't see eye to eye on something, he quickly gave me a call and were able to have a conversation about what was happing, why it was happening, and what would happen going forward. Obviously no one can guarantee results, however Mr. Hahn is very good about letting you know possibilities. Unfortunately, opposing counsel and client have not been the best about following the rules of the court, but Mr. Hahn has been able to keep them in check and even get them to pay some of my attorney fees for their negligence. Mr. Hahn and I are still working together to protect my daughter and my best interests, but he has taken me from questions to confidence in my case.

I had a great experience working with Scott Hahn on my Colaborative Divorce Case. I prayed to God that he would point me in the right direction choosing an Attorney and Scott Hahn was the one that I chose thrusting God in this decision. Now that my divorce case is over, I felt I made the right decision choosing Scott. He was very supportive during the process of my divorce and we had a great communication through out the process of my divorce. He really takes time to understand how I felt during them process. He was very open to help me get the best results in my case. He is a great guy to work with. I truly recommend his services.

Scott was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, restoring my parenting time to match the original parenting plan. He has helped me make the best out of a bad situation while also preparing me for future options. Scott and his team are always thoroughly prepared for every meeting and/or court date. This was not something I could have even comprehended doing alone, and I am thankful for his help.
