Excellent and timely Professional experience; Joseph Wagner was recommended 3x’s by several professional referral sources over a few other names.
I reached out to all referrals and ONLY Joseph’s assistant quickly responded and maintained efficient communications under a stressful timeline to set up a consultation and obtain much needed legal advice. Joseph is ver personable and professional. I greatly appreciate his very responsive and professional legal guidance essential to making good decision I can feel good about. To date, no other law firm cared to at least call me back. Joseph Wagner is an attorney who genuinely cares to help people in need and he and his assistant provided a great legal support experience. Thank you!! Highly recommend ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Joseph Wagner and team were essential during a stressful lawsuit that lasted over a year. At every turn, Joseph took the time to reassure me, listen to my concerns, and take the best legal action based on what I wanted most. Based on the evidence and position of the lawsuit, he worked on contingency and ultimately ended up saving me thousands of dollars. I would wholeheartedly recommend Joseph and his team for any legal matter you might be facing. You can count on a personalized experience with someone who can break down the intricacies of the law so you're able to make the best decision. Good luck!

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Wagner for the past year. Not only is he a kind, smart, and steadfast person, I felt he genuinely cares about me and my well-being. I've never been through any kind of legal proceedings and Joseph was a clear communicator, patient, and informative. I'm so grateful to have worked with him and I will recommend him to anyone who is seeking excellent representation because he is nothing less than such!

Joseph was great. I spoke with a couple attorneys and Joseph was much more aggressive with how to tackle my employment case. He guided the steps along the way always assuring me that we have solid footing in multiple laws. He did the research and consulted with experts. In the end, the employer acquiesced and we got the outcome I deserved. I highly recommend Joseph Wagner.

Joseph was and is an Amazing Lawyer! He stepped in at the last minute and took over for my case which was very complicated. I called him Thursday and Friday we were in court. He worked his butt off to help me and we had a successful outcome. He always had an open line of communication and his response time was very quick. I recommend him to anyone because he is not only very professional but also very caring. Thanks for everything Joey!!

Mr. Wagner has been incredibly helpful. He has answered any questions, at any reasonable time of day. He has been proactive, and assertive in my families legal situation. I would highly, highly suggest anyone seeking legal representation in his areas of expertise to give him a call. I have contacted several lawyers about our issue, and absolutely none of them have given us the time, help, and consideration Mr. Wagner has.

Joseph was polite and helpful every step of the way. He's willing to communicate outside of "bankers hours" and cares about your situation. Hopefully I'll never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I know who I'm contacting!

Growing Up.
A few decades ago, I was born into a family that traveled the country painting bridges. I switched schools over a dozen times and lived in 15 states before graduating high school in Vancouver, Washington. I loved to wrestle back then. I took second in the state championships in 2008 for Hockinson High School. The next year I broke my neck in the last match I ever wrestled while at the state tournament. After high school I worked as a sandblaster and painter on bridges during breaks to pay for college.
College and Work. While in college, I got a scholarship to study in Germany where I met my wife. I lived in Europe for a few years and we eventually moved back to Vancouver. Upon returning, I worked as a project manager in the construction industry for several years on complex multi-million dollar public works infrastructure projects with various state departments of transportation and the Army Corps of Engineers. I managed dozens of employees and fought tooth and nail to keep our projects on track.
Law School. After having first hand experience in a number of contract, employment, and labor disputes, I decided to go to law school at Gonzaga so I would have the skills to help contractors who face similar problems. I finished as the top student in many of my commercial law classes, and third in my class overall. After graduating, I earned a prestigious clerkship at the Washington State Supreme Court where I drafted several opinions under Justice Susan Owens. Wanting to serve the construction industry that I spent much of my life in, I immediately opened my own practice after clerking.
Me today. I’ve been lucky that my life has been filled with lots of interesting people, places, and stories: below are a few pictures from it (click on photos to read the stories). I like spending time with my family, golfing, watching comedy, rooting for the Seahawks (and Vikings too), making wood fired pizza, and learning new languages.
