not good

Engaging the services of Wayne Alan Jagow has been an overwhelmingly disappointing experience. Despite his proclaimed 36 years of expertise, my interaction with him left much to be desired. One of the most distressing aspects was Mr. Jagow's apparent neglect of time-sensitive matters in my case. I... anticipated a higher level of diligence given his extensive experience, but unfortunately, this wasn't the case. His oversight led to unnecessary complications in my situation. Trust is crucial when working with legal professionals, and it was disheartening when Mr. Jagow misrepresented the status of my case. Specifically, he incorrectly asserted that I failed to file a motion for citation, a claim that was later disproven with evidence. Confronted with his error, he retreated from the responsibility, stating, "I don’t think I can work with you." This experience left me feeling frustrated and questioning the integrity of Wayne Alan Jagow. Time was wasted, and my family was unnecessarily hurt in the process. It's essential to choose legal representation wisely, and unfortunately, my encounter with Mr. Jagow fell short of the professionalism and ethical standards I had hoped for.

False felony charges

From a person that has never been in trouble with the law, this was very scary for me. Wayne Jagow was recommended to me. As soon as I met with Wayne, I felt super comfortable and he put me at ease. The best thing is I always felt that Wayne believed in me and never made me feel like a criminal. Even... though the county made me feel like a criminal. Wayne knows the law and operates ethically within the law. Wayne reassured me throughout the process that if I am truly innocent and I tell the truth and back it up with facts the truth will prevail. Justice was upheld that day in court. When the county tried to stack the deck in their favor. Wayne knocked down their house of cards and countered every one of their accusations with the law and facts backing me up in my actions. I felt that Wayne fought for me and not a paycheck. I thank god every day for Wayne’s help. I highly recommend Wayne Jagow.

Professional, knowledgeable, personable and caring

Wayne represented me in three cases both criminal and civil. Not only three cases but in three counties all at the same time. Wayne guided me through the legal proceedings from day one. I was completely overwhelmed with the severity of the allegations against me. Not only did Wayne reassure me on cou...ntless occasions he supported my over the top emotions over the nine months my cases took to resolve. He listened to my concerns and my stories. My cases were serious cases with multiple felony charges. I would highly recommend Wayne Jagow for his professionalism. I can personally say that Wayne cared and believed in me.

Detailed and passionate!!

My divorce situation was complicated. It included a history of domestic abuse, children, and my husband was a police officer. I started out with one attorney that didn't understand how to help protect me as a client and handle the on-going abuse. From the moment I talked to Wayne, he understood the s...ituation and was able to get my case back on track. He had my back from day one and went above and beyond to protect me from further abuse. His knowledge of the court system and ability to professionally and passionately handle my case constantly impressed me. He understood the danger of my situation and the complications since my husband at the time was also a police officer. Wayne went with me to every medication session, and made sure to keep my abuser in a separate room so I felt safe. Wayne took my safety concerns and abuse seriously from the beginning and made sure we had the right people working with us during the case. He has great working relationships with individuals in all specialities: custody evaluators, parenting consultants, and financial mediators. He kept me on track and guided me to keep things in perspective when emotions ran high. Wayne has an immense amount of passion and dedication to do what is right. He guides you to think about what is most important and helps you stay focused on what needs to be done, as divorces involving abuse are extremely emotional. I was awarded sole custody of my daughter, and Wayne made sure we had the proper wording and stipulations in place to deal with future issues that might arise. Wayne fought for our safety and always made himself accessible no matter what time of day it was. I have never experienced a lawyer that is as dedicated as Wayne. It is apparent from the moment you talk to him that he is not in this business just to make money. He sincerely cares about his clients and about a fair outcome. Wayne was always reasonable with the time he charged for, and I never felt like he was over charging me. I would recommend him in a heartbeat, and I know he will do great things in the future.
