Biography

Chad J. Wythers is recognized as one of Nebraska's leading criminal defense attorneys. His practice spans both state and federal courts where he represents clients facing charges such as drug transportation, DUI, assault, theft, and possession of child pornography.

Wythers’ entire practice is devoted to criminal defense, and he travels across Nebraska to represent clients charged with both misdemeanors and felonies. His caseload is diverse, encompassing state and federal criminal cases including sex crimes, rape, sexual assaults, white-collar crimes, money laundering, drug possession and trafficking, computer and internet crimes, child pornography, DUI, assault, and theft.

Wythers’ primary office is located in Seward, which has equipped him with a deep understanding of the Seward County Sheriff's tactics, particularly in relation to vehicle stops on Interstate 80. Many of his clients have been stopped for minor traffic violations while driving through Nebraska, leading to illegal vehicle searches and serious drug-related charges.

Wythers is from Geneva, Nebraska in Fillmore County. Having grown up in Geneva, Nebraska, he is intimately aware of the legal workings in Geneva, and he regularly represents people arrested in Fillmore County.

Throughout his career, Wythers has tried hundreds of cases and secured numerous "not guilty" verdicts for my clients. Wythers is adept at filing successful pretrial motions that have led to the dismissal of several cases before they could proceed to trial.

Wythers is also one of the few local attorneys certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the International Association of Chiefs of Police for DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. This certification provides Wythers with a significant advantage in cases involving DWI's and DUI's, as he possesses the detailed knowledge required to challenge the results of field sobriety tests, potentially leading to the dismissal of your DUI case.
