History
David Solheim and Gatsby Gottsch both grew up in Nebraska families closely connected to agriculture and small business. They learned first-hand the value of hard work, honesty, and fairness. After getting married in 2014, they decided to build a law practice rooted in those same small-town values. Solheim Law Firm delivers smart, honest advice at a fair price.
