Gene M. Eckel

My past experiences have led me to Thompson Law Office where I utilize my trial and litigation experience to the fullest.

Before attending law school I served as a legislative aide for a Nebraska State Senator for two legislative sessions. As a legislative aide I helped draft proposed legislation and work with interest groups to bring the proposed legislation into law. My term as a Lieutenant in the Nebraska Army National Guard has provided me with the skills to quickly size up a situation and then select and implement a strategy under pressure.

My strengths are my attention to detail, my emphasis on listening to what the client is communicating to me, and the importance I place on excellent writing skills. My style is calm and collaborative, and I strive to save a client time, expense and stress by seeking to find a reasonable and appropriate outcome where possible.

Personal interests:

I am highly involved with the Nebraska State Bar Association, and I enjoy spending outdoor and other social activities with my family and friends.
