As a lawyer, I have helped hundreds (maybe thousands) of people who were hurt by bad drivers, and I'm proud that that people trust me to help them through difficult times. I am one of a very few lawyers in Nebraska who only handle car accident cases (no slip and falls, medical malpractice, criminal defense or any other type of case). I believe that excellence comes from dedication.

Very few lawyers devote their practice to one thing only. I think that is a mistake. I believe that the very best work comes from dedication to one thing. We don't try to juggle car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, criminal defense, or any other area of the law. We don't think that's best for the people that we need to work for. That's why Oval Car Accident Law only helps people who were hurt in car accidents.
