Hug and Jacobs LLC – Omaha, NE

Relentless Criminal Defense in the Heart of Omaha

When your freedom is on the line, you need more than a lawyer; you need a fighter. Hug and Jacobs LLC is a premier criminal defense firm located in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, dedicated to protecting the rights of the accused since 1995. Led by attorneys Jerry Hug and Kenny Jacobs, the firm has built a formidable reputation for handling the most challenging criminal cases in state and federal courts. They operate on a simple yet powerful principle: every client deserves a zealous defense, regardless of the charges against them.

The attorneys at Hug and Jacobs LLC understand that the criminal justice system can be overwhelming and terrifying. They pride themselves on being "collaborators" with their clients, working closely to uncover every fact and exploit every weakness in the prosecution’s case.

This aggressive mindset has led to numerous successes in high-stakes cases involving federal drug conspiracies, serious assaults, and complex white-collar crimes.
