Who We Hire
Roles at the firm
Attorneys
Lateral and early-career attorneys who want a broad, hands-on practice — litigation, estate planning, real estate, family, and business matters — with partners who make time to mentor.
Law Clerks & Summer Associates
DRAFT — Law students get real work: research and drafting on live matters, time in county and district court, and a seat at the table with clients. We hire clerks from Nebraska, Creighton, and law schools across the region.
Paralegals & Support Staff
DRAFT — Paralegals, legal assistants, and administrative staff are the backbone of the firm. We look for people who are organized, curious, and good with clients — and we invest in training and certification.
Why Grand Island
A real practice, a real community, and room to build a life.
DRAFT — Grand Island is Nebraska's fourth-largest city and the hub of Central Nebraska: county seat, federal courthouse, regional medical center, and a downtown that has been reinvesting in itself for a decade. Attorneys here try cases early, know their judges and opposing counsel by name, and can own a home within a few years of graduation.
Our attorneys serve on the boards of the YMCA, Goodwill, the Community Foundation, and CHI St. Francis — because this is home.
