- Biography
I began as a Lawyer in Oregon with an almost exclusive criminal law practice. I relocated to Nebraska in November 2005 and began to focus on Family Law and Divorce and Juvenile Law. I also handle other civil types of legal issues. I have extensive litigation background and a successful history regarding criminal and family law outcomes.
While in Oregon, I was concurrently licensed in the State of Washington and in the DC Court of Appeals, and the US District Court for Oregon, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
I am now licensed in Nebraska and Iowa only, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, and the US District Court for Nebraska and Iowa.
