    TESTIMONIALS

    Review 5 Stars

    The most professional firm I’ve ever dealt with. Responds to emails and phone calls rapidly. Handles situations with utmost care and professionalism.

    We were being sued by a neighbor and had already been disappointed with the poor quality of defense by our first attorney. Dennis was highly recommended to us and he surpassed all of our expectations! Not only was he caring, compassionate and very diligent but his staff was amazing as well. They truly cared about our stressful situation and made us feel that our case was very important to them. During the trial, he literally tore apart the other side and nailed the opening and closing arguments. We owe it all to Dennis Wagner and his dream team. I have already recommended several people to him and he has been able to successfully help them. Dennis is the attorney you want in your corner if you want intellect, compassion, experience and victory.

    This firm became my favorite as soon as they did one simple, but major act:  THEY RETURN THEIR CALLS WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL!  Watch and see how many attorneys and their secretaries tell you that they’ll call you back, and then count the days from when (if ever) they do. I needed a real estate contract drawn up fairly quickly, and when I called this firm, they led me to Marty Zemming.  The first thing I told him was how 6 lawyers had already blown me off with promised returned phone calls.  Attorney Zemming assured me that his firm would not do the same.  He didn’t lie…
