Juvenile Law

If you are looking for an attorney who has your child’s best interest at heart and has the perseverance to follow through, you are in the right place! I provide a whole-person approach to juvenile defense that takes into account your child’s physical and mental well-being as well as their individual identity (racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, disability, etc.) and the impact that may have on their case. I follow your wishes and values while safeguarding your child’s due process rights. I zealously advocate for your child at all stages of the court proceeding and ensure that their voice is heard in court.

• I serve families and juveniles in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Saunders County, Otoe County and throughout the state of Nebraska.

• I am licensed to practice law in Colorado.

• I represent juveniles at any stage of court involvement.

• I act as a guardian ad litem.

• I represent parents or grandparents in Abuse and Neglect Cases.

I believe that kids are usually not ‘bad’ at their core, rather they may have learned 'bad' behaviors because of the environments they have been living in. Sometimes kids with special needs get into difficult situations because of the unique challenges they face. Sometimes it doesn't matter if they were raised with good values, they still get into trouble. My priority is to make sure these children receive the best care possible with the least long-term repercussions. Juvenile justice is all about rehabilitation, not punishment.
