Jon Braaten gave me great legal representation for a traffic citation. Would highly recommend, and will use in the future if needed.

Confident, subject matter experts that walk you through the process.

I used Megan Zobel for my divorce and was very impressed with her responsiveness, attention to detail, and professionalism. I would recommend her and this firm to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Teresa Richards was incredible to work with on my family law matter. I spent over a decade as a legal assistant and have worked with many attorneys over the years. Teresa’s professionalism and calm presence really set her apart from so many others. She is sharp, articulate, and pays attention to the details. Every question I had was answered and she gets straight to the point/doesn’t waste time. Teresa was also honest when things may not have been what I wanted to hear but she prepared me well for possible outcomes. The final outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for thanks to Teresa. I’d hire her a thousand times over but obviously I hope I don’t have to.

Jon braaton is very helpful and gets back to you quickly highly recommended

Jon was great. I needed help ASAP with a custody case and he made it happen, even during the holidays. He gave great advice and was able to resolve the case.

I engaged Teresa Richards' services approximately three years ago, following several years of ongoing litigation. As a mother to seven total children, with two ex-husbands, each requiring co-parenting of two minor children, my case presented unique challenges. Despite my forthright nature and meticulous documentation, the substantial amount of litigation and filings over the years was considerable, resulting in immense stress and overwhelm. Throughout our collaboration, Miss Richards demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attentiveness, and thoroughness. She consistently responded promptly and sought to resolve matters amicably, prioritizing ethical conduct and restraint in contentious situations. Her commitment to doing what is right and her strong moral compass were evident throughout. With her expertise, I successfully gained legal and physical custody of my two minor children after enduring prolonged court battles, including two four-day trials. Notably, prior to retaining her services, I received support from the Friendship Home of Lincoln and was able to exit an abusive marriage in 2019; however, temporary court orders at that time restricted my access to my children to every other weekend. Miss Richards' dedication, willingness to go above and beyond, and compassionate approach were instrumental in navigating the myriad challenges that myself and my children endured over the past years. Having worked with multiple attorneys previously, I can attest that Miss Richards' unique blend of professionalism and empathy is rare. Our collaborative approach during the trials was pivotal in achieving successful outcomes. I hold Miss Richards in high esteem and would recommend her to anyone seeking a moral, ethical, knowledgeable and diligent attorney who prioritizes resolving matters efficiently without unnecessary conflict. Through our experience, I have grown both personally and as a parent, largely due to Miss Richards' guidance, which has enabled healthier co-parenting dynamics, to the best of my own personal ability. Although she no longer represents me, our professional relationship has evolved into a lasting friendship, and I regularly seek her counsel and wisdom. Teresa Richards is a rare and exceptional professional, a superb attorney who genuinely cares about her clients, and when navigating divorce and custody cases, you need someone with her expertise and compassion.

For the first time in this entire process I truly felt listened to. I spoke with Amy and met with Megan. The attorneys took the time to hear my side of the story without interruption and without assumptions. There was no sugar coating, no bullshit, no pressure, just clear facts and honest guidance and realistic expectations. I appreciated how straightforward they were. They told me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear and that helped me make informed decisions. This gave me the confidence walking into the hearing this time around. I’m incredibly grateful for how they represented me and for treating my experience as important. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who wants attorneys that are honest, thorough and genuinely on your team.

I worked with Teresa for over 2 years on a very contentious divorce. I was impressed with her professionalism & honesty through the entire process, keeping me informed every step of the way. As difficult as divorce is, she was a great source of stability & guidance. I appreciated her knowledge of the law & valued her opinion on legal matters. She fought hard for my parenting rights when the safety of my children & alcohol abuse were at the forefront. Three court appearances & many testimonies later we were awarded with a judgment that will now protect my kids & their future. Teresa is a top notch attorney who really cares about her clients & their outcomes. I would recommend her to all my friends & family. I cannot thank her enough for all her help with my case.

I cannot recommend our custody attorney Teresa Richards enough. She was incredibly thorough, attentive, and genuinely cared about our family’s wellbeing. She walked us through every step with patience and clarity, always making sure we understood our options. Her kindness, professionalism, and dedication made an overwhelming situation so much easier. We are truly grateful for everything she did for us.

My divorce was complicated but my experience with Megan was overall good. There were times I thought things could have moved along faster as I felt it was sometimes drawn out and costing me more money. She stayed organized and on top of things. There were a few times when things were lost but again given the complexity of my case I'm sure it was easy to do. She was brutally honest when she needed to be and was always pretty easy to get a hold of despite the fact that she was so busy. She was extremely lenient with me and understood the financial struggle I was in given the circumstances. I wont say I am 100 percent satisfied with the outcome but rarely do both parties feel satisfied with the outcome of their divorce. Megan put the custody of my child as our main focus and that's what was most important to me. She's good at what she does and truly cares about her clients.

Bob Creager is a phenomenal lawyer.

Teresa is a wonderful person and an exceptional attorney. She was very professional and cared about more than just the legal proceedings. I strongly recommend her!

Put me at ease explaining court procedures and what to expect with my case.

Exceptional Legal Representation from Jon Braaten I had a last-minute legal matter arise and contacted Jon Braaten with less than a week before my court date. Despite the tight timeline, Jon stepped in without hesitation and delivered outstanding results—successfully winning my case with only six days to prepare. Throughout the process, Jon demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. He reviewed the details of my case with me multiple times over the span of five days and responded promptly to every email I sent. His clear communication and thorough approach helped me feel supported and confident during a very stressful time. Jon’s work ethic is truly impressive—he is one of the hardest-working professionals I’ve encountered. He also showed flexibility in working with me financially, which I greatly appreciated. I can say without hesitation that he has earned my full confidence. If you’re looking for a skilled, reliable, and hardworking attorney, I cannot recommend Jon Braaten highly enough!

Having challenges that require legal advice can be, at best, stressful. But what I experienced was good legal advice, great listening skills and a well executed plan of action. I have hired Teresa twice and would hire her again without hesitation if the need arose. She is clear in her communication, professional in all her actions, and very knowledgeable in her craft. I highly recommend the firm and specifically Teresa. Thank you.
