Biography

Jeanette joined Atwood Law, P.C., L.L.O. in 2018 with twenty years of experience practicing law in Lincoln. Jeanette's goal is to supplement the firm's work representing injured people by providing legal services in all other aspects of an injured person's life. Jeanette's practice includes real estate matters; estate and business planning and litigation; probate and trust administration; will contests and other estate litigation; guardianships and conservatorships; employment law; school law; family law matters, including divorces, paternity actions, modifications, and adoptions; and general civil litigation. Jeanette has extensive experience representing clients throughout southeast Nebraska in state and federal courts, both at the trial court level and in appeals to the Nebraska Court of Appeals, Nebraska Supreme Court, and Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Jeanette was raised in Bellevue and attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, earning a degree in criminal justice, magna cum laude. Jeanette continued her studies at the University of Nebraska College of Law and graduated Order of the Coif and with highest distinction in 1997. During law school, Jeanette served as executive editor of the Nebraska Law Review, earned a Theodore Sorensen fellowship in public interest law, and was runner-up for the Robert G. Simmons Law Practice Award for her article, The Department of Justice's No-Contact Rule-A Proposal for a Modified Rule, which was later published in the Criminal Law Bulletin. Prior to Jeanette's time in private practice, she held a judicial clerkship with the Honorable Kenneth C. Stephan of the Nebraska Supreme Court.

Jeanette volunteers with the Nebraska affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, Sheridan Lutheran Church, and Lincoln Lutheran Middle/High School. She has also served in numerous capacities with the federal courts in Nebraska, including serving as a member and chair of the Federal Practice Committee and President of the District of Nebraska Branch of the Historical Society for the United States Court of Appeals in the Eighth Circuit.

Jeanette's husband, Corey, is also a member of our firm. Jeanette and Corey have two daughters, Lauren and Harper, and enjoy gardening on their acreage outside of Lincoln and spending time on the beach in Nicaragua.

I cannot thank you enough for the peace of mind you have brought to my family! Both of my parents are extremely grateful for your work. I knew we were in good hands from the first meeting and you have exceeded all my expectations! It may feel straightforward to you, but to us, you have moved mountains. This settlement will allow my parents, particularly my Dad, to enjoy the rest of their lives to the fullest of their abilities. We all agree that we would give every cent back and more for my Dad to walk again, but that is not going to happen...

"...He didn't treat me like I was one of 100 clients. He treated me like I was his only client. He acted professionally but with empathy, dignity and friendliness. It didn't matter if it was something small or large, he was always there for me, be it by phone, fax, email, cellphone or meeting me personally at his office or elsewhere. He never rushed me when I didn't understand something, he'd take as much time as needed to explain things to me, especially when it came time for my deposition and in preparation for trial. He was there for me when I truly needed his help..."

- CG

"...My husband and I felt his kindness immediately and were both very impressed with his knowledge of what to expect in a wrongful death case. He pursued our claim in an aggressive manner while at the same time being very protective of our rights and privacy and sheltered us from any unnecessary contact with insurance agents, or any other adverse parties. My husband and I cannot say enough about the kindness, professionalism and legal ability demonstrated by Atwood Law"

- RD

"...If it were not for this law firm all I would have received from this injury would have been a loss of income check and a pat on the back, goodbye. Which only would have been a fraction of what I actually received. He was always professional but more importantly he cared about me and my family as people not just a client. He went beyond his role as my lawyer. He even spoke with my bank and explained why I was behind on my car payment. And this saved me getting my car repossessed..."
