Bob Chaloupka

About Bob

Bob Chaloupka was revered for his powerful courtroom presence and for taking on cases that other lawyers believed couldn’t be won. Not only did he wholeheartedly embrace fighting for the underdog - and being the underdog himself - Bob obtained Nebraska’s first million-dollar jury verdict in a personal injury case. He is believed to be the first trial lawyer in Nebraska to secure both a million-dollar verdict and an acquittal in a first-degree murder case. Bob Chaloupka turned down a steady job as a big-city federal prosecutor to build a law practice in rural Nebraska. It was 1970. Bob was living in Georgia, a young husband, father, and attorney finishing up his service as a Captain in the United States Army. He built a law practice - and a life - that made a lasting impact with everyone who was fortunate enough to cross his path. He saw working as a trial lawyer as an opportunity to make his community better, especially for those who were often ignored, overlooked, or demeaned. Bob pioneered methods of persuasion in products liability cases; cases involving governmental liability; and unusual damages cases. He never quit learning - he was always interested in learning new ways to better serve clients in tough cases. Most importantly, Bob gave his clients hope. He treated his clients with dignity, kindness and respect. He treated them as individuals. He listened. He developed lasting relationships with his clients, who stayed in touch long after their cases concluded.
