PRACTICE AREAS

CRIMINAL DEFENSE
The stress and uncertainty of defending a criminal charge requires active and effective representation. There are few things more precious than your liberty and good name. Make sure they are protected to the fullest exent possible. If you do find yourself in the unfortunate situation of dealing with police, the courts, and prosecutors, going it alone can be a serious mistake. Whether the charge is drunk driving or a more serious felony, Schmidt Law Office has the experience and know-how to defend your rights.

PERSONAL INJURY
Insurance companies are in business for one reason and one reason only -- to make money. To do this, they need to take in premiums and pay out as little as possible to innocent victims of accidents. They pay adjustors, investigators and attorneys to help them keep their money. When you are injured in an accident that is not your fault, don't be taken in by the soothing voice of an adjustor who "only wants to help". If you have been injured by someone else's carelessness, why should you pay for it? Whether you call Schmidt Law Office or another personal injury law firm, make sure your injuries, your lost time from work, your changed life, and your medical bills don't come out of your pocket. Hire a competent attorney to protect you and help you rebuild your life. After all, that adjustor isn't being paid to "help" you.

DIVORCE
The end of a marriage is one of the most difficult periods in anyone's life. Not only do you have to start your life over again, you have to deal with dividing everything you and your spouse have worked to acquire during your marriage. And worst of all, if you have children, you have to decide what would be best for them. Fathers often assume they can't get custody of their children. Wives often believe they will leave the marriage with nothing. Divorce is complex and there are no automatic decisions. Don't rely on your spouse's attorney to protect you in a divorce. Each party to a divorce needs his or her own attorney. When this most difficult event occurs in your life, you can rely on Schmidt Law Office to provide you with the answers and the help you need.

EMPLOYMENT MATTERS
Did you know that, except for a few exceptions, your boss can fire you for almost any reason or no reason at all in Nebraska? It's called the "at-will" rule and it can leave an employee with no job, no hope, and no answers. Schmidt Law Office knows the exceptions to the "at-will" rule. If you believe your employer is treating you unfairly, let Schmidt Law Office guide you through your rights as an employee.

GENERAL CIVIL LITIGATION
The purpose of our legal system is to resolve disputes that can't - or won't - be resolved privately. However, our courts and system of laws and rules are complex and confusing. When you aren't sure what you can do about a legal problem, or you find yourself in the unfortunate position of defending a lawsuit, Schmidt Law Office can provide the guidance you need and help you get to a solution.
