Kathryn Cheatle

Ms. Cheatle has practiced extensively in a variety of aspects of healthcare law, including medical malpractice defense. Ms. Cheatle has represented numerous medical providers and institutions in medical negligence cases involving all types of medical specialties. She has defended her clients from the day of an incident - including advising them on the preparation of notes and incident reports - all the way through trial and appeal to the highest level courts. She is nationally known in her field for her single-handed efforts in procuring an amicus brief by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists in a birth trauma case, which ultimately lead to the successful exclusion by the court of an unfounded and non-peer reviewed expert opinion on birth trauma. Her briefing and arguments are relied upon by attorneys and courts across the court to this day who seek to also exclude this unfounded theory.

In additional to medical negligence, Ms. Cheatle also represents both providers and institutions in employment disputes, contract drafting, agency investigations, and in a variety of other matters. She is admitted to practice in both the state and federal courts of Nebraska, the 8th circuit court of appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.
