Stephen Wagner
When The Stakes Are The Highest
Mr. Wagner has taken numerous cases to a jury trial in Indiana and across the country, including auto and truck accident cases, medical malpractice cases, civil rights cases and premises liability cases, and has obtained multiple 7-figure and several 8-figure recoveries for clients.
Frequently sought out by the media for his commentary in high profile legal cases involving police brutality, jail deaths, daycare negligence, and fraternity hazing, Mr. Wagner relishes representing the “little guy” and helping David defeat Goliath.
Described by his clients as compassionate, confident and determined, Mr. Wagner takes a personal interest in each case, relishing the opportunity to help people during the most difficult times in their lives.
