About

Olsen Law Offices, P.C., L.L.O. is a criminal defense practice in Omaha, Nebraska, led by attorney Tom Olsen. With over three decades of trial experience, Olsen brings both prosecutorial insight and aggressive defense advocacy to cases across Nebraska and beyond.

Attorney Olsen's background uniquely positions him to defend clients facing serious criminal charges. He previously served as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Nebraska and as an Assistant Omaha City Prosecutor, giving him deep familiarity with how law enforcement and prosecutors build their cases. He earned his J.D. with Magna Cum Laude honors from Syracuse University College of Law, where he ranked 16th in his class and received highest honors in Trial Advocacy, Constitutional Law, and Products Liability. He also served as a Notes and Comments editor for the Syracuse University Journal of International Law and Commerce and was a member of The Order of the Coif.

The firm handles a broad range of criminal matters, including drug charges, DUI, weapons and firearms violations, sex crimes accusations, and domestic violence allegations. Olsen has successfully defended thousands of clients, with particular expertise in drug-related cases ranging from simple possession to possession with intent to distribute, drug trafficking, and drug manufacturing. He represents both Nebraska residents and out-of-state individuals arrested for criminal offenses.

One significant focus of the practice involves defending clients arrested on Interstate 80 for drug and cannabis possession. With recreational marijuana legalized in neighboring Colorado, I-80 has become a primary corridor for law enforcement drug interdiction efforts. Olsen addresses the legal complexities surrounding the transportation of legally purchased cannabis through Nebraska and defends individuals ensnared by aggressive traffic enforcement tactics.

Olsen takes particular care with search-and-seizure issues. He investigates whether traffic stops were lawful, whether drug dog searches were conducted properly, and whether law enforcement followed correct procedures in gathering evidence. When his investigation reveals unlawful police conduct or inaccurate documentation by investigating officers, he pursues complete dismissal of charges.

The firm serves clients across Nebraska, including Lincoln, Lexington, North Platte, Kearney, Grand Island, Aurora, York, Seward, Papillion, and surrounding areas. Notable case results include dismissal of a 1st-degree murder charge, a plea agreement with no jail time or probation in a possession with intent to deliver case involving over 100 pounds of cannabis, and dismissal of a possession with intent to deliver case involving more than 1,500 pounds of marijuana. The firm also secured dismissal of domestic violence charges against an Air Force member.

Olsen Law Offices offers free consultations and is available 24/7. The office is located at 209 S. 19th Street, Suite 525, Omaha, NE 68102. Prospective clients can reach the firm at 402-598-5789.
