Defending You Against Criminal Charges in Nebraska
Being charged with a crime is serious business. Any criminal conviction will become a permanent mark on your record that will be seen by prospective employers and anyone else who does a background check on you. A felony conviction carries with it the loss of civil rights, such as the right to vote and possess a firearm. More importantly, you could be sent to prison.
If you face criminal charges in Nebraska, you need a serious lawyer to defend you. I'm attorney Kevin J. Oursland. As a former state prosecutor, I have the experience and knowledge to evaluate the evidence the state will use against you. Knowing how the other side will approach your case enables me to be proactive in planning your defense.
From my law office in Lincoln, I defend people throughout Nebraska who are charged with criminal offenses ranging from DUI, to drug possession and trafficking, to assault, to domestic violence, to theft and burglary, to sex crimes, to murder.
How to Choose a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Not all lawyers practice criminal law. If you are charged with a crime, the best family law or estate-planning lawyer in the world won't be of much help when it comes to navigating the criminal justice system.
When you face criminal charges, the power and resources of the government will be against you. Therefore, you need to know that your attorney is committed to your case and has the experience to mount an effective defense. It's a good idea to meet with a couple of criminal defense lawyers before making a decision. Ask each lawyer about his or her experience in handling criminal cases.
