Consultations are free and confidential, and the person you meet at that consultation is the person who handles your case. His job, as he puts it, is to take the stress off your shoulders, pick up the shield, and carry the fight for you and your family. How I Choose Cases — and Why It Matters to You I do not take every case that calls, and that is deliberate. A lawyer carrying hundreds of files at once cannot prepare any of them for trial, and insurance companies know exactly which firms those are — they price settlements accordingly. Carrying a smaller number of cases and preparing each one as though a jury will hear it is not a marketing line; it is the mechanism by which cases are actually worth more. It also means the person you meet at the consultation is the person who handles your case. You will have my cell number. You will not be handed to a case manager you have never met, and you will not learn about a settlement offer from someone reading a file for the first time. The Background Behind the Numbers Before law school I earned a business degree, and that training shows up in the part of this work that decides case value: computing damages. Not just today's medical bills, but the surgery your doctor expects you will need in ten years, the overtime your shoulder can no longer handle, the earning capacity a permanent restriction quietly ended, and the household services a family loses when someone is killed. Insurers are very good at valuing the past and very interested in ignoring the future. Proving the future — with treating physicians, life-care planners, vocational experts and economists — is where cases are won or lost long before trial. That same background matters in the negotiations no one sees: reducing the hospital, health-insurer and government liens that attach to a settlement. A recovery that sounds impressive can shrink alarmingly if those are handled carelessly. Getting them right routinely puts thousands more in a client's pocket without changing the settlement figure at all. Areas of Practice My practice covers car and motor vehicle crashes, semi-truck and commercial vehicle collisions, motorcycle wrecks, wrongful death, work injuries and Nebraska workers' compensation, railroad injuries and occupational disease under FELA, toxic exposure and product liability cancer claims including mesothelioma, premises liability and slip-and-fall cases, and dog bites. I represent injured people only — never insurance companies. Geographically, I serve all of Nebraska and Iowa, and I take clients nationwide. My office is in Omaha, but distance is my problem rather than yours: I travel to meet clients, handle much of a case by phone and video, and come to you when injuries make travel difficult. What Happens When You Call The first conversation is free, confidential, and creates no obligation. You will not be pressured to sign anything on the spot — a lawyer who does that is telling you how they will treat you for the rest of the case. What you will get is an honest read: whether you have a claim, what it realistically involves, what deadlines apply, and what I would do first. Sometimes that answer is that you do not need a lawyer at all, and I will tell you that too. If we do work together, my fee is contingent — no f
