Greg Nelson

Greg Nelson is an Omaha criminal defense attorney who represents clients in Nebraska on matters involving domestic violence, sex crimes, felony gun charges, drug crimes, felony assault, vehicular manslaughter, theft, hit and run, probation violations, criminal appeals, DUI charges, record sealing, and related proceedings. A former prosecutor, he brings knowledge of how criminal cases are investigated and presented while focusing his current practice on protecting accused individuals and preserving their legal options.

Nelson earned his B.A. from Creighton University in 1996 and his J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1999. He worked as a prosecutor in Kansas and Nebraska for six years and has practiced criminal defense in Nebraska since 2004. That background gives him experience on both sides of criminal cases and a practical understanding of charging decisions, evidence, plea negotiations, courtroom procedure, and the steps needed to prepare a defense.

Nelson has defense work that covers a wide range of misdemeanor and felony matters, from DUI and theft allegations to violent-offense, drug, firearm, and sex-crime charges. He also assists clients with warrants, probation violations, record sealing, post-conviction relief, and criminal appeals. He serves clients in Omaha and surrounding Nebraska counties, using his prosecutorial background to anticipate how the State may evaluate evidence, frame allegations, and respond to defense arguments.

Greg Nelson brings clients nearly three decades of combined prosecution and defense experience. He helps individuals understand the charges against them, identify weaknesses or disputed issues in the evidence, and prepare for negotiations or court proceedings. His practice is grounded in the principle that accused people deserve a fair opportunity to defend their future, with legal strategy tailored to the facts, procedural posture, and possible consequences of each case.
