Can the criminal division provide legal advice to members of the general public?

No. Nebraska Rev. Statute §23-1206.01 prohibits the County Attorney’s office from providing legal advice in private legal matters. Members of the general public must contact a private attorney regarding questions involving such legal matters. For specific questions regarding individual county agencies, you may contact the agency directly by telephone or by accessing the agency’s website.
