When Life Gets Complicated
Results-Driven Legal Partners
At Walz Law Offices, we take a detail-driven approach to establishing “the weight of evidence.” Once we secure and present that evidence, we want opposing parties to know that it would be in their best interests to have a mutually beneficial settlement or that we are prepared for trial.
Founding attorney James Walz is a disabled veteran. He is well-known among his legal peers for being aggressive in pursuing the best possible result without any hesitation; that means focusing on what will deliver a much-needed “win” for our clients. His efforts have resulted in a track record of victories that speaks for itself.

From the moment we take on a case, we are fast and relentless in moving forward to overcome any and all setbacks and obstacles. We fight to control the evidence, a strategy that has resulted in success for our clients. Taking that power away from the opposition places and keeps us in the driver’s seat.
Our Process
We Know What’s At Stake—And We Know How to Win
When you’re injured at work or going through a divorce, you need more than just legal advice—you need aggressive advocates who control the case from day one. Here’s how we fight for you:
Immediate Action
The moment you hire us, we move fast. For workers’ compensation cases, we send preservation letters to secure critical evidence like incident reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements before they disappear. For family law matters, we immediately protect your assets, document your relationship with your children, and establish your rights before the other side can gain advantage.
Evidence Dominance
We don’t wait for the opposition to build their case—we take control of the evidence first. This means thorough investigations that uncover what the insurance company or your spouse’s attorney doesn’t want found: safety violations that caused your workplace injury, hidden assets in divorce cases, proof of parental fitness in custody disputes, and documentation of your full damages and losses. When we control the evidence, we control the outcome.
Strategic Pressure
We use the evidence we’ve gathered to create leverage. Insurance companies know we’re prepared for trial, which forces higher settlement offers. Opposing parties in family law cases understand we’ve built an airtight case, leading to more favorable negotiations. Our reputation for thorough preparation and courtroom success means the other side takes our demands seriously.
Maximum Results
Whether through strategic settlement or aggressive trial advocacy, our goal is the same: the best possible outcome for you. That means maximum workers’ compensation benefits that account for your full medical needs and lost wages, divorce settlements that protect your assets and parental rights, and custody arrangements that preserve your relationship with your children.
We don’t follow the conventional playbook—we do what works. Our unorthodox approach has delivered victories for Nebraska workers and families when traditional methods failed.
