“When no one looks like you, it can feel like you are not welcome or that you do not belong.”

In “A Latina in the Law: A Brief Retrospective,” Senior Associate Attorney Ashley Palma, Esq. writes about entering the legal profession as a Latina, often being the only person of color in the courtroom, and how those experiences have shaped the attorney she is today.

For Ashley, representation is about more than who is standing beside you in the courtroom. It is also about whether the person sitting across from her feels respected enough to tell the truth about their life, ask questions without embarrassment and trust that they will be taken seriously.

We’re sharing Ashley’s perspective during Hispanic Heritage Month and encourage you to read the full piece.

A little friendly competition, a lot of laughs and a Tuesday afternoon together.

This week, our team stepped away from the office for an afternoon at Topgolf. It was a chance to spend time together outside of work, have some fun and enjoy each other’s company.

We believe taking care of our team matters. When people feel supported, appreciated and connected to one another, they do better work and bring more of themselves to the people we serve.

And yes, we discovered we have a few golfers among us. A few others were mostly there for the food and company. Both approaches were fully supported.

Taking time to enjoy each other outside the office is part of how we build a team that works well together and shows up well for the people we serve.

Yesterday was CIRA Center for Immigrant and Refugee Advancement's Welcome Fest, and we were proud to sponsor this celebration of the people and cultures that make Omaha home.

The afternoon was full of incredible food, music, dancing, art, local makers and community organizations, with people from across Omaha coming together for Welcoming Week.

We believe immigrants and refugees make Nebraska stronger. Their cultures, traditions, businesses, families and stories are part of the fabric of our communities, and they deserve to be welcomed, supported and valued.

McGill Law, PC, LLO founder Jodie McGill serves on CIRA’s Board of Directors, and supporting CIRA’s work with immigrant and refugee families across Nebraska means a great deal to our firm.

Thank you to CIRA Center for Immigrant and Refugee Advancement for creating an afternoon that brought so many people, cultures and organizations together.

Don’t ghost your estate plan!

Who would care for your children? Who could make medical decisions on your behalf? What happens to your home after you're gone?

They're not always easy questions to consider, but having your wishes in writing can make a tremendous difference for the people you love.

We're sharing five estate planning documents worth knowing about, including one Nebraska homeowners may not be familiar with.

If your estate plan has been gathering cobwebs, or you haven't gotten around to creating one, our Omaha and Lincoln attorneys can help you get started: 402-548-5418.

What’s in a name? Identity.

A name is more than what's printed on a driver's license or birth certificate. It's how we introduce ourselves to the world, and everyone deserves to have theirs respected.

Last Saturday, McGill Law attorneys Ashley Palma, Emily Dawkins and Bri Cotton volunteered at Legal Aid of Nebraska's free Adult Name Change Clinic, hosted by Omaha ForUs.

For many people, including LGBTQIA+ and gender diverse individuals, having legal documents that reflect who they are can be especially meaningful. The clinic helps eligible adults with the paperwork, court requirements and costs that can make the name change process difficult to access.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect when seeking legal services.

A big thank you to Legal Aid of Nebraska for providing free civil legal assistance to eligible Nebraskans, and to Omaha ForUs for creating affirming spaces, programs and resources for our LGBTQIA+ community. We're proud that Ashley, Emily and Bri gave their Saturday to support this important work!

Our commitment to LGBTQ+ individuals and families extends beyond the clinic. Learn more about our LGBTQ+ Family & Identity Law services including legal name changes, adoption, custody and estate planning: https://mcgilllawyers.com/lgbtq-lawyer-nebraska-iowa

A recent Google review of Theresa Loughran, partner and Collaborative Divorce attorney with McGill Law, PC, LLO and mediator with McGill Mediation, came from someone who recommended her to a friend. After hearing about her friend's consultation, she shared these incredibly kind words.

"As soon as my friend left her consultation with Theresa today, she texted to tell me it felt like a warm hug. I am SO grateful that she was able to get in with Theresa so quickly. I knew that if she came to see her, she’d be ok. It brings me a lot of peace knowing that the McGill Law team is helping her.

I don’t think this team could ever know how many times they helped preserve my sanity and brought me peace when I was struggling, but I am so deeply thankful. My friend and I entered the healthcare profession hoping to make people’s lives a little easier and to help to ease their burden.

I really hope Theresa and the McGill Team knows how profoundly they do just that.

Thank you again."

Healthcare professionals and family law attorneys often meet people on some of their hardest days. Both professions require compassion, patience and an understanding that the people coming to us may be facing far more than we know.

Hearing these words from someone who has dedicated her own career to caring for others makes them particularly special.

Thank you for trusting Theresa, recommending her to someone you care about and sharing your experience with our team.

Last Thursday was Pride Night at Werner Park with the Omaha Storm Chasers!

We were proud to table alongside nonprofits, businesses and organizations doing important work in our community, and we had some really good conversations throughout the night.

We also talked with people about name changes, adoption, estate planning and other legal services that can be especially important for LGBTQ+ individuals and families.

The Take Meow’t to the Ball Game theme brought plenty of cats, and the Storm Chasers mascot even stopped by our table.

There was a rain delay, but we stayed through it and got to hear the River City Mixed Chorus sing the national anthem before the game.

We loved having the chance to connect with people, share resources and spend the evening alongside so many others who support LGBTQ+ individuals and families in our community.

Hispanic Heritage Month began this week, celebrating the history, stories and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities across the country and here in Nebraska.

One of those stories belongs to Cecilia Olivarez Huerta.

“We, as Mexican Americans, have pride in who we are and in our contributions to this great state of Nebraska.”

Cecilia knew something about making her voice heard.

Born in Bridgeport, Nebraska, in 1944, she spent decades advocating for Mexican American and Latino communities across the state.

For 14 years, she served as executive director of the Nebraska Mexican American Commission now the Nebraska Commission on Latino-Americans, working on issues including education, employment, housing, public policy and civil rights.

She brought community concerns directly to lawmakers and spoke openly about discrimination and inequity.

She once described herself as a “high energy, gregarious ear bender.” A fitting description for a woman who spent decades speaking up for people whose voices were too often overlooked.

The belief that people deserve to be heard is one that carries through our work every day. Cecilia spent her life putting that belief into action.

Cecilia died in 2019, leaving behind a long history of advocacy and public service in Nebraska.

Her voice, and the voices she helped bring forward, remain part of our state’s story.

We’re looking for some new roomies at our McGill Law, PC, LLO - Lincoln, Nebraska office!
