Great Experience

Joe was very thoughtful and thorough. He took time to explain all of my options, and advocated for me. He was able to get me an excellent resolution in my case.

Posted by Cassidy | November 04, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Incredible Lawyer!!!

I highly recommend Joe. He took the time to really understand and get familiar with my case. I was able to easily get in contact with him and he made himself available. Joe really is an excellent attorney and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

A great, honest and professional Lawyer!

Dr. Wager helped me with an audit from the IRS. He guided me and help me gather all the required docs. He was great with putting my mind at ease and helping me though a difficult time. Thank you

Very Thorough and Trustworthy

I hired Mr. Wager to review some post marriage family agreements. He went over every detail and pointed out aspects that I hadn't considered during the drawing of the agreements. Despite the simplicity of the work, he gave it his full attention and provided a very thorough review of what the agreem...ents entailed. I have worked with lawyers in the past but Mr. Wager stood out with his commitment to the project at hand, timeliness of his work, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend him to others seeking legal counsel and would certainly use him again in the future.

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.
