We do things differently here,” attorney Michael J. Fitzpatrick explained. “I’m very selective on the clients and the cases I take. If I don’t think I can help somebody, I’m not interested in representing them.”
He is uniquely qualified to practice criminal law, having worked as a police officer, public defender, city prosecutor, and county attorney. Fitzpatrick takes cases from all over the state of Nebraska and has a reputation for excellence.
“I help people get out of trouble before it even starts. If a client is being investigated by law enforcement, I have no problem going to the police and talking straight up. Most other lawyers won’t do that,” Fitzpatrick said.
His competitive spirit became apparent in high school. In fact, he has held the record for single season wins in South Omaha Legion Baseball history since 1989. He was also a scholarship pitcher at Peru State College.
Fitzpatrick enjoys the competitive aspects of practicing law. He takes big cases and loves the challenge of the big stage, most recently winning a murder trial in Lincoln in 2022.
