About Scott
Biography
With over 15 years of extensive experience in litigation pertaining to family law, Scott has adeptly handled a myriad of cases, including those involving divorce and collaborative divorce, paternity and custody, modifications, and appellate work. His skill extends to crafting multiple briefs that have been presented before the Nebraska Supreme Court and the Nebraska Court of Appeals, advocating tirelessly for his clients' interests. Scott takes immense pride in the reviews and feedback received from his clients, which are a testament to his exemplary legal work, on platforms like Avvo, Google, and other online sources.
Scott's involvement in legal committees and accolades further underscores his commitment to the legal profession and public service. As the former Chairman of the Nebraska Bar Association's Subcommittee on Limited Scope Representation, he has made significant contributions, a fact recognized by his receipt of the Omaha Bar Association's Champions of Law Award for outstanding contributions in Education. His work on the Nebraska Limited Scope Representation Toolkit, prominently featured on the Nebraska Supreme Court's website for pro se litigants, showcases his dedication to improving access to justice. Additionally, Scott's publication, "The Do's and Don'ts of Limited Scope Representation," in the Nebraska State Bar Association's 2019 Family Law Manual, stands as a testament to his legal acumen.
Recently appointed as a member of the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Nebraska Court of Appeals, 2nd District, Scott continues to make significant strides in the legal community. Beyond his legal pursuits, Scott finds solace in community service, writing poetry, indulging in long walks with a circle of friends, and reading and studying Stoicism.
