About Katherine R
Katherine R Chadek earned her law degree at Creighton University School of Law, completing her J.D. in 2016. Her time in law school framed an early interest in court procedures and advocacy. She entered private practice soon after, moving from a newly minted graduate into a sole practitioner role within a year.
Her legal career began in private practice in 2017, when she established herself as a sole practitioner under the name Katherine R. Chadek Lawyer at Law. In the years that followed she expanded the firm's reach and took on responsibilities that included representation in court and work appointed by the courts. In 2020 she began operating as a Guardian ad Litem while continuing her solo practice. That year she is listed as a Guardian ad Litem - Sole Practitioner (OCR) at Katherine R Chadek Lawyer at Law LLC.
Chadek is licensed to practice in both Nebraska and Colorado. She holds certification as a Guardian ad Litem from the Nebraska Supreme Court, a credential that underpins much of the court-appointed work she accepts. Her memberships reflect a practice that crosses state lines: she has been part of the Nebraska Association of Trial Lawyers since 2019, and she joined the Colorado Bar Association and the Colorado Women’s Bar Association in 2020. Those memberships have accompanied an ongoing solo practice rather than a move into larger firm structures.
Her work as a Guardian ad Litem has involved investigation, reporting, and courtroom advocacy on behalf of children and other parties in need of independent representation. Serving in that role has required coordination with judges, social workers, and attorneys on both sides of disputes. The certification from the Nebraska Supreme Court signifies formal recognition for this court-appointed function and aligns with her record of solo practice that has included such appointments.
Chadek’s professional path is straightforward: law school at Creighton, entry into solo practice, and the development of a court-appointed practice that spans Nebraska and Colorado. She continues to practice under the Katherine R Chadek Lawyer at Law name and maintains active memberships in state bar and trial lawyer organizations. Her current practice centers on guardian ad litem work and court representation in related matters.
