Chaloupka Law

Chaloupka Law founder Maren Lynn Chaloupka has built a reputation on her willingness and ability to take on – and win – extraordinarily challenging cases, no matter how complex the legal barriers involved might seem.

Maren’s experience and skill as a trial lawyer, along with her compassion for her clients and her commitment to doing what’s right, has made her one of the most recognized, respected, and successful litigation attorneys in the Midwest.

Based in the Nebraska Panhandle, Maren is a voice and an advocate for clients across 34 Nebraska counties and nine states whose lives have been irrevocably changed due to negligence or abuse by another person, government, corporation, or other difficult adversary. She has tried 70 cases in state and federal courts. At the same time, Maren has handled 82 civil and criminal appeals in state and federal appellate courts – all in just 25 years of law practice.

The “Beatrice 6” Civil Rights Victory

Maren was co-lead counsel for six wrongfully-convicted men and women, known at the “Beatrice 6.” What started as a cold case investigation of a 1985 rape and murder ultimately led to the imprisonment of six innocent people in Gage County.

They spent a combined 76 years behind bars until DNA proved their innocence. The same DNA testing proved that the crime was committed by a single perpetrator unrelated to any of the Beatrice 6.

Along with her co-counsel, Maren’s steadfast and strategic litigation work over the course of a decade led to a jury awarding $28.1 million in damages to the six plaintiffs in the civil lawsuit.

“She asked me whether I had learned to like big cities. ‘I’d always be miserable in a city. I’d die of lonesomeness. I like to be where I know every stack and tree, and where all the ground is friendly. I want to live and die here.”

The Bob Chaloupka Kick Ass Trial Skills Seminar
Scheduled for November 2-3, 2023.

Continuing Education for Attorneys 

The Bob Chaloupka Kick Ass Trial Skills Seminar honors Maren’s father, partner and mentor, gathering lawyers of every stripe to enjoy fellowship together while learning from speakers from around the country.

The inspiration behind the annual seminar, the late Bob Chaloupka, was a lifelong learner. He believed that affordable, inspiring continuing legal education was a game changer for attorneys who are deeply committed to their clients and the communities they serve.

Held annually in Bob’s hometown of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, the seminar gives trial lawyers from across the country more tools to succeed in court, whether they are trying a personal injury, family law, criminal law, property law, or other complex cases that are sometimes difficult to win. Together, we brainstorm, learn, motivate, and honor the brave work of those around us. Most importantly, attendees leave feeling more prepared, more confident, and more courageous to win the battles their clients are facing in court.
