Biography

Meet Adam Sipple, an esteemed attorney with nearly three decades of legal experience. Born and raised in Columbus, Adam obtained his B.A. from the University of Nebraska before pursuing his law degree at Washington University in St. Louis. Throughout his career, Adam has had the privilege of working alongside some of the finest lawyers in the Midwest, handling significant cases with high stakes.

Driven by a strong belief in the Constitution's role in safeguarding individuals from government abuse, Adam has successfully prosecuted numerous cases that have advanced his clients' fundamental civil rights. He has passionately fought for rights such as the right to peaceful protest, the right to openly carry a firearm, protection against unreasonable arrests and searches, the right to a fair trial, the right to a fair and independent judge, access to exculpatory evidence, and the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. His unwavering dedication has resulted in the repeal or revision of unconstitutional municipal ordinances and the removal of law enforcement officers from active duty.

In addition to his achievements as a prosecutor, Adam has an impressive record of acquittals in criminal trials, winning over half of the cases he has tried. His compelling opening arguments have moved jurors to tears, and he has skillfully cross-examined alleged victims and witnesses, leading to recantations of their allegations during trial.

Adam's legal prowess extends to the appellate arena as well, where he has secured numerous reversals in the Nebraska Supreme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Notably, in one instance, the Eighth Circuit ordered the release of his client prior to issuing its decision, a remarkable accomplishment rarely seen.

It's important to note that Adam is not a former prosecutor or police officer. He relies on his strength in the courtroom rather than relationships with prosecutors for his success. His reputation is built on earning the respect and confidence of his clients, judges, and fellow attorneys one case at a time.

Adam's dedication to his craft is evident in his professional affiliations. He is a Nebraska Bar Fellow and an elected member of the Judicial Nominating Committee for the Douglas County District Court. Furthermore, Adam is an active member of esteemed organizations such as the Nebraska Association of Trial Attorneys, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Nebraska Criminal Defense Attorneys Association.

While Adam does not rely on flashy badges or self-proclaimed titles to validate his skills, he promises his clients one thing: a relentless commitment to skillfully and aggressively protect their rights and advance their claims. When you choose Adam Sipple as your attorney, rest assured that he will prioritize your case, treating it with the utmost importance and advocating for your best interests.
