He represents clients facing homicide allegations, felony and misdemeanor charges, serious traffic offenses, drug distribution cases, sexual offenses, and other criminal matters. With more than a dozen years of defense experience, Turnblacer uses careful research, resourceful preparation, and case-specific strategy to protect clients’ rights and pursue outcomes aligned with their individual circumstances and goals.

Turnblacer earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2010. He received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Towson University in 2006. He was admitted to the Maryland bar in 2010 and the Nebraska bar in 2017. His legal education and business background support his ability to evaluate evidence, identify practical concerns, and explain complex criminal proceedings clearly to clients.

Turnblacer began his legal career at the Maryland Office of the Public Defender. He advanced from handling misdemeanors and serious traffic offenses to defending clients against high-profile felony allegations, including murder, complex drug distribution charges, and sexual offenses. This progression gave him experience with cases involving substantial evidence, severe potential penalties, and demanding strategic decisions. He now applies that background when representing Nebraska clients in serious criminal cases.

Ted Turnblacer follows a client-centered approach rather than applying the same defense plan to every matter. He considers the facts, legal issues, risks, and the client’s priorities before developing a strategy. His broader practice also includes sex offender registration challenges, pardon applications, set-aside petitions, traffic accident claims, and dog-bite cases. By combining public defender experience with individualized advocacy, Turnblacer provides practical and attentive representation to people confronting significant legal challenges.
