Kearney DUI Attorney

Aggressively Defending Against DUI Charges Since 2016

Since 2016, Glasz Law has represented numerous individuals charged with DUI across Central Nebraska — including Kearney. We know how Nebraska law works and where defense matters most.

Here's how we help:

1. Defense for DUI Charges at All Levels. Whether you’re facing a first offense or have prior DUI convictions, we provide defense for a wide range of DUI-related charges. Our goal is to evaluate the facts, identify legal options, and build a defense that reflects your circumstances.
2. Negotiation & Pre-Trial Advocacy. In some cases, it may be possible to pursue charge reductions or alternative resolutions. We advise clients on what may be available and advocate for options that reduce the long-term impact of a DUI charge.
3. Support for Post-Conviction Requirements. For clients facing penalties such as ignition interlock installation or SR-22 insurance filings, we help manage those obligations and work to minimize disruptions to employment and daily life.
4. Court Representation in Buffalo County. From arraignments to motion hearings and trial, we represent clients in Buffalo County Court and District Court in Kearney. Our team is familiar with local procedures and works directly with court personnel and prosecutors.
5. Appeals & Post-Conviction Relief. If issues arise after a conviction — such as legal errors or new evidence — we advise on potential appellate options and represent clients in seeking modifications or relief when appropriate.

We Build Strong Strategies for Defending Against DUI Charges in Kearney

Every DUI case is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all defense. At Glasz Law, we tailor a strategy based on test results, arrest procedures, county norms, and your personal circumstances.

1. Challenging Probable Cause for the Traffic Stop. Did the officer have a legitimate reason to pull you over? If the stop lacked justification, we may argue that any evidence gathered afterwards is inadmissible.
2. Scrutinizing Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs). Field sobriety tests are often administered under less-than-ideal conditions, and those factors can significantly affect a person’s performance. We investigate closely to determine if these conditions may have made the test unreliable.
3. Testing Accuracy. Testing apparatus can be affected by faulty or expired calibration logs, improper officer training or test environments, and mouth alcohol or medical conditions. If your arrest involved a blood draw, we review chain of custody and lab certification to detect potential issues.
4. Exploring Pre‑Trial Diversions. First-time DUI offenders may qualify for diversion or deferred sentences if they meet criteria. Upon successful completion of community service, education courses, and random testing, charges may be dismissed.
5. Mitigation Even If Convicted. If a conviction cannot be avoided, we focus on reducing the severity of the consequences wherever possible. Our goal is to minimize the long-term impact of a DUI conviction on your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does my Kearney DUI case usually take from arrest to resolution?

First-offense DUI cases take around 3 to 6 months, depending on court dockets in Buffalo County, ALR hearing schedules, and whether diversion is pursued. Aggravated or multiple-offense cases may extend longer due to plea negotiations or trial settings.

I heard about diversion/differential programs — am I eligible?

Many first-time DUI defendants in Nebraska qualify for diversion or deferred judgment, which might include community service and alcohol education. If completed, charges may be dismissed. Eligibility depends on BAC, record, and local court policies. We assess and apply on your behalf.

Does the firm offer payment plans? 

Yes, Glasz Law offers flexible payment plans. Following your free consultation, we’ll propose a plan that fits your situation, so financial stress doesn’t block your defense.

Will a DUI conviction affect my insurance or job?

Yes. DUI convictions in Nebraska require SR‑22 insurance, which raises premiums and may lead to policy file cancellations. Records remain for at least five years. Convictions may also appear on background checks, impacting employment or housing. 

What if this is my second or third DUI in Nebraska?

Nebraska applies a 15-year lookback period for DUI convictions. Second offenses carry increased jail minimums, longer license revocation, higher fines, and ignition interlock mandates. Third offenses may be felonies. Our defense adapts, examining test flaws, plea options, and mitigation.
