About
Hi, I'm Aaron. I have been practicing law for 18 years. During the course of my career, I have focused on complex civil litigation in the State and Federal Courts of Nebraska and Iowa, represented businesses in their formation, compliance, and administration, and in enforcing contracts.
I represent individuals in domestic relations matters, estate planning and probate, and criminal defense. My diverse clientele has afforded me the opportunity to practice across a variety of legal disciplines, to develop an in-depth understanding of interrelated issues, and to provide sound legal guidance and effective representation to my clients based on that practical experience.
One highlight of my career was being recently elected by my peers to the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Nebraska Court of Appeals. The role of the Commission is to determine which candidates seeking appointment to the Court of Appeals will be forwarded to the Governor for consideration and possible appointment to the appellate bench.
