Employment Contract Management

John was hired to review an employment contract. He clearly described the details of my agreement in language I could understand and outlined my legal rights within the contract. All consulting was performed with a quick turnaround and his fee was extremely fair.

A lawyer's lawyer.

John is one of those rare lawyers who is highly competent and really cares about his clients. I worked with John and if we needed to make sure a contract had no loopholes or that we covered all of the points, we gave it to John to read. If you're doing a business deal, forming an LLC, need a will... and estate planning or just need some great advice from a seasoned attorney, you should call John. I understand that John moved is practice to Long Island and dropped his hourly rate: He is now probably the best bargain in for a lawyer on Long Island. You won't find a better lawyer at double the price.

As good as it gets

I have used John Wagner's services as my corporate and personal attorney for the past 17 years. He has provided impeccable advice and guidance in all corporate matters including contract negotiations, filings, licensing agreements, and so on. On the personal side, he has helped me with the preparatio...n and sale of my NYC apartment, which required all sorts of filings with the building's department. John is excellent at his craft and is extremely dedicated to his clients. You cannot find a better attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
