Nicholas Jordan Wagoner
Employment and labor Attorney at Dallas, TX
Excellent job.
5 stars! I was hurt pretty bad in a car accident with an 18-wheeler. The trucking company refused to accept responsibility and even tried to blame the wreck on me. I hired Nick to set things straight in my personal injury case. Nick did not disappoint. He stood up to the trucking company and got me a fair and just settlement. I’d recommend Nick to anyone who’s looking for a car accident lawyer.

Great Attorney!
Mr. Wagoner truly cares for you as a client and your overall welfare. I appreciated how he always kept me updated and informed throughout the various stages of our case. He was always available to answer all my questions and is very knowledgeable. Mr. Wagoner is an honest, experienced attorney and the results of my case far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an attorney who will go the extra mile for you, I would highly recommend Nick Wagoner.

Super Lawyer
I was fortunate to have someone refer Nick Wagoner to me at a time when I had just about given up hope of getting justice with an employment issue. Nick Wagoner recognized the injustice, agreed to take my case, and achieved a successful resolution for me.

Will return.
I hired Nick to represent me in a lawsuit for unpaid overtime wages. Nick is knowledgeable and hard-working. He was good about returning my calls and helping me understand the legal process that can be very confusing, overwhelming and intimidating. I was very happy with the outcome of my case.

Nick provided excellent service that exceeded my expectations! He is caring, professional, and knowledgeable. He was quick to return calls, even after hours and on the weekends. I felt confident with Nick during a difficult time as he stood behind me continually, believing in me. I was thrilled with the results that Nick delivered. You won't be disappointed. Consider yourself fortunate to be represented by him.

As I die of cancer, he still holds on to my money.
I hired Nick the day after I was in an auto accident. At the time, his girlfriend was my boss and she herself had financial interest in his solo practice (she admit this multiple times). She asked if I had a lawyer after my accident and I told her “no” and she immediately said I should hire her boyfriend. After work that day he met me at my apartment and quickly had me sign papers that I did not understand. All of a sudden, he’s sending me around to doctors and physical therapists that were lowest of the low, recommending I do very costly procedures that didn’t even help me. He was very rude and unresponsive. Even one of the medical clinics needed authorization for something and reached out to me saying they couldn’t get ahold of him. He wouldn’t return my phone calls. He clearly didn’t know what he was doing and ended up setting me on a course that has almost ruined my health. His girlfriend acted as his solicitor for my case before I could weigh any options. After months of BS, I decided to fire him and hire someone else. The new attorneys I hired got me my settlements, but because I signed an angreement with Nick first, he refuses to negotiate with the law firm and demands his full fee. Right now I’m slowly dying of cancer. There’s an out of pocket procedure I could get that could extend my life another 5 years, but it’s over $25,000. The new attorneys have told him my situation MULTIPLE times, and he still won’t repent and work with them. This lawyer would rather LET ME DIE than negotiate his percentage. It takes a true sociopath and sick individual to do this. Do not hire him. Do. Not. Hire.

If you are willing to blindly follow, Nick is the attorney for you
If you wish to hire an attorney who will sue for all the money he thinks you might get and subject you to every medical test (needed or not needed) to win more money from insurance companies, then Nick is the attorney for you. If you wish to ask questions, proceed cautiously and use your own doctors, then Nick is not the attorney for you. When I asked questions at our initial meeting he said, "Am I wasting my time here? No one asks questions. They just sign the papers." I wanted an attorney who would listen to my questions and work with what our needs are. He also called and expected immediate responses, which was impossible due to the fact that I have small children with me and no child care. He even had the audacity to ask if I didn't care about my children, because I would not take them in for an MRI even though 2 (two) doctors examined my kids and said they did not need an MRI. In the end, working with Nick was a worse experience than the wreck we were in. And I know that he will reply to this and disparage me in his reply but know this: everything that I stated above is true. He is an attorney and will twist the story to make him look like the better person. You can do better. Find an attorney with more experience who will work for the person, not the 33.3% of the settlement.
