WE'RE MORE THAN LAWYERS.WE'RE ADVOCATES, ADVISORS and TRUSTED PARTNERS.

A founding partner of The Waltz Law Group, Jeff brings more than 20 years of experience to the firm in the fields of civil litigation, commercial litigation, workers' compensation defense, insurance coverage analysis and insurance defense. He has significant experience in admiralty and maritime law and automobile liability litigation. Jeff is also recognized for his work with first party and third-party property damage claims, construction defect claims, and bad faith claims.

Out of law school, Jeff quickly found success while working for a large national law firm. There, he provided outstanding quality full-service representation to insurance and corporate clients in the United States and Europe. However, he eventually recognized he could do more for his clients on a much more personal scale. "I thought client needs could be better served through a more personal and collaborative relationship," Jeff recalls. Accordingly, with the support and encouragement of his wife and co-founder Jill Waltz, he founded The Waltz Law Group in 2013, based on the proven ideals which have provided more efficient and cost-effective representation to the firm's clients.

In light of his busy schedule, Jeff contributes his spare time to several causes. He previously served on the Executive Committee of Kingsley House, a local non-profit, which provides a host of nationally accredited and state certified programs from early childhood education to adult daycare services and beyond. He also serves in an advisory capacity for the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) Fraternity, and he is involved in several Carnival organizations.

Jill is a founding partner of The Waltz Law Group. She focuses her practice on insurance coverage and defense litigation, commercial litigation and business issues. She has significant experience representing insurance companies in coverage disputes over primary and excess obligations under a host of policies. She routinely analyzes insurance policies and other documents to draft formal coverage assessments. She also advises clients on insurance regulatory and compliance matters in connection with policy wordings and claims handling. She is always exploring unique and emerging issues that may affect the insurance industry and practice of law.

While not at work, Jill enjoys spending time with her family and traveling.

Parish has brought considerable experience to the Waltz Law Group. Prior to his joining the firm in 2017, Parish clerked for Entergy Corporate and U.S. Magistrate Judge Patrick Hanna in the Western District of Louisiana. Thereafter, he joined a large law firm in southwest Louisiana where his practice included large commercial disputes. In contributing to our insurance defense and worker's comp defense efforts, Parish draws on his extensive knowledge of business and commercial litigation, banking and crafting medical chronologies to build comprehensive strategies for our clients.

After gaining large firm and Fortune 500 company experience, settling down in New Orleans might seem almost anticlimactic, but Parish couldn't disagree more. In fact, he sees the move as an advantage for both himself and our clients. "Coming here from a larger firm, I enjoy the ease of collaborating on cases and the close relationships we maintain with our clients," Parish explains. "I believe our smaller size allows us to be more efficient and obtain the same results for clients at a lower cost than larger firms."

In his spare time, Parish enjoys fishing, Saints football, LSU athletics and watching motion pictures. He also volunteers his time to the Honorable Order of The Blue Goose, an international fraternal organization of individuals who work in the insurance related industry.

Originally from New Orleans, Estelle relocated to Baton Rouge after Hurricane Katrina before attending Emerson College in Boston. She later returned to New Orleans to earn her law degree from Tulane University Law School, where she served as an editor for the International and Comparative Law Journal and worked in the Domestic Violence Clinic assisting communities throughout the area.
