+ About Us

Smith • Gardner • Slusky Law is the confluence of two highly capable, knowledgeable and experienced law firms – Dwyer Smith and Slusky Law, LLC with Slusky Mediation.

A history in brief

Dwyer Smith traced its origins to 1978, when it was founded by Bob Dwyer and Dennis Martin. The law firm offered a full range of legal services, focusing on delivering a high degree of personal assistance to clients while at the same time using the latest technologies to provide faster, more cost-effective service.

Slusky Law, LLC and Slusky Mediation, founded in 2005, brought a similar ethic to its practice. Slusky Law and Slusky Mediation believed in providing friendly, fast and cost-effective legal services to their real estate, business and other clients.

In August 2006, Jerry Slusky represented a real estate developer seeking a loan from a bank represented by Dan Smith. In the process of closing the loan, Slusky saw that Smith used an innovative Web-based system that Smith himself had developed that made loan-closing documents accessible online to the attorneys, the bank, the developer, the title company and other related parties. By collaborating through a secure Web site, it enabled all parties involved to make agreed-upon changes and close the loan in a faster, more efficient manner.

Soon thereafter, Smith, Gardner and Slusky began sharing their respective approaches to the practice of law, and a merger of the two firms only seemed natural. On March 1, 2008, the law firms announced they would merge to create Smith • Gardner • Slusky Law, a top-10 law firm in Omaha.

The law firm today

Using the best practices of both firms and the technology advances developed by Smith – the lawyers, attorney assistants and staff at Smith • Gardner • Slusky Law are dedicated to providing a broad base of legal services to clients with the goal of delivering the highest-quality, most cost-effective service possible.
