Due to the restrictive nature of the law, a generalist’s approach is insufficient. A successful case requires an expert focused on the singular exception provided by statute.
This legal standard requires proof that the truth of the facts asserted is highly probable. It is a much heavier burden than in typical civil cases. I provide expert analysis of the evidence to assess its strength and its likelihood of meeting this specific standard in a Nebraska court.
I am intimately familiar with the operational standards and server training programs recommended by the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. I can authoritatively assess whether an establishment’s age verification policies and procedures fell below industry standards, which is crucial evidence in these cases.
Explaining the high “clear and convincing” standard and its application to serving a minor requires an expert who can present complex information with clarity and authority. I have the experience to effectively convey crucial points in Nebraska courtrooms, including the Douglas County District Court.
My services are focused on the specific requirements for building a case capable of meeting Nebraska’s high burden of proof in cases involving minors.
A confidential review to assess the probability of meeting the “clear and convincing evidence” standard for service to a minor.
Meticulous analysis of ID-checking procedures, server training logs, video surveillance, witness statements, and social media to build a powerful evidentiary record.
Professionally written reports specifically structured to present evidence of service to a minor in a clear and convincing manner.
Clear, concise, and compelling testimony designed to withstand rigorous cross-examination on the high legal standard.
Strategic guidance on discovery and case presentation aimed at overcoming the statutory presumption of legality.
My focus is singular: providing the expert analysis needed to pursue a claim under Nebraska’s demanding statute for serving minors.
The sole statutory exception to vendor immunity in Nebraska. My analysis focuses on the evidence of the illegal sale and its causal link to the subsequent harm.
Investigating and assessing the point-of-sale policies, procedures, and actions (or inactions) of staff that resulted in a minor being served alcohol.
Establishing the critical connection between the illegal sale of alcohol to the minor and the specific injuries or damages that occurred.
I provide expert witness services for qualifying cases throughout the State of Nebraska, including:
Omaha and Douglas County

No. Nebraska Revised Statute § 53-404 provides immunity to vendors for the actions of adult patrons they serve. The only exception to this immunity is for the illegal service of alcohol to a minor that proximately causes injury.
It is a legal standard requiring proof that there is a high probability that the factual contentions of a claim are true. In these cases, it means proving with high probability that the establishment served a minor and this service caused the injury. It is a much higher standard than the “more likely than not” standard used in most civil cases.
