About Janell K
Janell K Broekemier took a circuitous route to the practice of law. Her academic record stretches from teacher preparation to legal training, and it reflects deliberate shifts in interest over a decade.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in English/Language Arts Teacher Education from Wayne State College in 2010 after beginning that program in 2007. She then completed a Master of Education at Grand Canyon University in 2013. Around the same time she obtained a real estate associate broker's license through Macintosh Real Estate School in 2013 and later added a paralegal certificate from Pikes Peak Community College in 2014. Broekemier returned to formal legal study at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where she completed her Juris Doctor in 2020 after starting in 2017.
Those earlier credentials preceded hands-on legal work. In 2015 she worked as a family law paralegal at Clawson & Clawson, LLP. That role put her inside client files, courtroom preparation and the document-heavy work that defines much of family litigation. After finishing law school she moved into practice as an attorney. Beginning in 2021 she has served as a lawyer at Goosmann Law Office, PLC.
She is a member of the Nebraska State Bar Association and the Iowa State Bar Association. Those memberships reflect authorization to practice in both Nebraska and Iowa. She also holds the paralegal certification she earned earlier in her career.
Colleagues describe Broekemier as methodical in handling casework and attentive to procedural detail; clients and opposing counsel have encountered a lawyer who relies on experience gained both behind the scenes and at the bar. Her background in education and real estate adds breadth to her legal perspective. The paralegal years gave practical knowledge of case management; law school added doctrinal training and courtroom skills.
At Goosmann Law Office, PLC she has continued work that draws on her family law experience and her broader civil practice training. She combines litigation preparation with client counseling and document drafting. Her practice brings together the procedural habits learned as a paralegal and the substantive law training from her J.D. program.
Broekemier continues to practice at Goosmann Law Office, PLC, where her work reflects experience in family law and related civil matters.
