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.

Social Security Disability
Creighton University School of Law
I first learned about the irrational disability decision making process of the Social Security in the 1980s. My sister was born with Downs Syndrome, an intellectual disability. She worked in a sheltered workshop and earned enough to have a small Social Security payment.My family was stunned when Social Security cut off her benefits because she medically improved. This of course was not true because individuals living with down syndrome don't medically improve. My father battled with social security and got her back on benefits. Later she received a settlement for the money she was owed. This inspired me to enter...

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.
