My goal for every case – no matter how complex – is to make the divorce process direct, efficient and easy to understand.
For the past 13 years, I have represented parents, business owners and high-net-worth individuals in hundreds of divorce cases. I have navigated the most complex legal issues in divorce, including changes to final property judgments, allegations of fraud, and contentious multi-year custody litigation. I was the first lawyer to enter a limited-appearance in any case in the state of Nebraska.
My clients benefit from my passion for technology and innovation. I apply tools that save time, money and aggravation. I created the Nebraska Child Support Calculator, a piece of software used by more than 1,000 Nebraska lawyers and judges. In the courtroom, I manage thousands of pages of exhibits from my MacBook, while many opponents lug boxes of documents.
I frequently speak on legal technology and family law. I provide annual training for the Nebraska State Bar Association on new case law and trends, and I have testified on family law issues before the Nebraska Legislature.

If you want to be bullied by a man, after escaping an abusive relationship, this is your man. You will also lose everything and he will allow your abuser to do so throughout the process and in court. He was not prepared before the pre trial hearings resulting in so much loss. Then he charges a ridicu...

I hired Mr. Astley to be my Divorce Atty. I did not get half of the bank accounts. I did not get half of the dodge vipers. I did not get half of the class a Monaco diplomat Camper. I did not get half of anything. I was a stay at home mom for 25 years. I ended up with five years of a pittance of ...

I am a previous and VERY unsatisfied client of Mr. Adam Astley. I hired Mr. Astley to help me with my divorce. Although Mr. Astley seemed to be quite intelligent and had accolades to his name, I do not feel that he used his knowledge to benefit me or my court case. Beyond this, I rarely received...

I have used many attorney's throughout my life, and I have never received or seen such poor communication by an attorney! He ignored emails and phone calls (from me) for months at a time. I later found out that he also ignored proposals, phone calls, and emails from opposing council for weeks an...
"Adam is a strong asset to the Omaha legal community. He is a frequent presenter at Continuing Legal Education Seminars within Omaha. He is up to date with current case law because he frequently presents on the topic. I have consulted with him on arguments for appeals and have always found his insight helpful."
"From the onset of the case, Adam's direct and frank demeanor has been an asset to a complex and complicated matter where bankruptcy and divorce law have intersected."
"Mr. Astley is a fantastic attorney to work with regardless of which side of the courtroom you find yourself. His knowledge of family law, specifically issues dealing with Nebraska Child Support, are second to none. I would confidently recommend his services to anyone in need knowing they would be given exceptional representation in their matter."
"Adam Astley is really the go-to attorney for family law cases. He's knowledgeable, above board and easy to work with. He's an attorney that other attorneys call when they have questions and has a great reputation in the legal community."
"I have had the opportunity to work with Adam Ashley as an opposing counsel in family law cases - he is knowledgable and ethical. I look forward to working with him on future matters."
"Adam Astley is a very bright, capable attorney. When I refer friends and clients needing his expertise to Adam I know they will be well served."
