Testimonials
"John was compassionate, responsive, culturally sensitive, and knowledgeable about the exact ways to assist me with my challenges. His patience and personability allowed me to feel comfortable, safe, and fully represented as a woman, woman of color, and a survivor. Thank you, John, for all the work you do for Nebraskans!"
Denisha
Client
"I found John Cartier Law to be a legal firm that combines the three essential elements: competence, compassion, and conscience. Competence in that the firm provides the highest level of legal assistance and guidance to navigate you through those occasions when such advice is essential. Compassion because they see the law, not a cold, objective rubric by which we are all judged, but as an active tool for empowering individuals and communities. And finally, conscience. They specialize in those cases that are truly about the principle of what is just and not necessarily what is most popular or profitable. It is law for the common humanity.”"

Client
"John joined our team as legal counsel amidst the complex 2020 summer in which protest rallies focused our local and national lives. During that episode and ever since, John has walked unflinchingly alongside our grassroots-developing non-profit organization and offered invaluable guidance and advocacy. It is no exaggeration to say our integrity was protected and infrastructure made increasingly robust toward non-profit maturity because of John Cartier."
