About David Christopher
David Christopher Holcomb earned his law degree from Creighton University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2002 after concentrating his studies on family law, mediation, entertainment law, civil law and criminal law. He earlier completed a Master of Arts at Grace University in 2000, studying counseling psychology and Christian theology. Those academic choices point to an interest in both legal mechanics and the human dynamics that surround disputes.
After law school, Holcomb moved into practice in Nebraska. He is admitted to the Nebraska bar and has built a career that crosses traditional boundaries between civil and criminal matters. His record shows work on family law matters alongside appearances in civil and criminal cases. He has also spent time handling issues tied to entertainment law, a less typical specialty in the regional practice environment.
Holcomb’s training in counseling psychology informs how he approaches client interactions and alternative dispute resolution. He pursued mediation during law school and has continued to use mediation techniques in his work. That training helps him assess settlement possibilities and manage emotionally charged cases, particularly those involving family law.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with Holcomb describe a practitioner who tends to break complex problems into manageable parts. He favors clear explanations and practical next steps. His entertainment law experience means he is accustomed to contractual detail and the intellectual property questions that may arise when creative work intersects with business arrangements.
In court, Holcomb has handled both procedural and substantive matters. He has represented clients on issues ranging from custody and divorce to civil disputes and criminal charges. That mix requires regular shifts between negotiation and litigation. It also requires familiarity with both statutory frameworks and courtroom practice in Nebraska.
Outside casework, Holcomb’s academic background in theology and counseling has led him to place emphasis on communication and client-centered counseling during negotiations. He applies techniques from mediation to de-escalate conflict and to identify shared interests when they exist. This approach can shorten timelines and reduce litigation costs for some clients.
Today Holcomb practices as an attorney-at-law in Nebraska. He continues to handle family law, mediation, entertainment law, civil litigation and criminal matters, and he structures his work to reflect both legal training and an appreciation for the psychological aspects of dispute resolution.
