Fraser Stryker PC LLO
Omaha Business & Corporate Law Lawyer
Overview
Bob is one of those attorneys clients want in their corner through the most important matters, transactions or transitions in their lives. He is a highly effective problem solver, analyzing complex problems strategically, then offering specific solutions and steps to achieve a client's goals. He communicates clearly, often "translating" legalese into comprehensible analysis and recommendations so clients know exactly what their options are.
Big projects usually involve different and unique mixes of financial, commercial, legal, interpersonal and practical issues that must be sorted through and prioritized. He always employs a "team" approach, working effectively with key business and family members, other professional advisors, and including other expert members of the Fraser legal team. Typical of competitive and busy people, Bob likes to get things done, knowing there are always more challenges ahead.
Examples of a few of his Projects include the structuring of the public-private partnerships in Omaha which formed and today govern Omaha's arena, convention center, baseball stadium and major sporting events; multi-generational family business successions; business acquisitions and sales; business break-ups; and non-profit organizational representation and "turn-arounds".
Bob was a contributing author to the 2010 "Inside the Minds" series on Family and Business Succession Planning. Among his current Community involvements are leadership in Omaha's sporting events scene; and he leads the ultra complex Tri-Faith Initiative, the intentional co-location of three houses of worship and placement of an Interfaith Center amongst them.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
