About John
Biography
I am a board certified specialist in personal injury and wrongful death litigation and a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. My practice is limited to these types of cases with an emphasis on medical malpractice claims. My partnner Bill and I formed Sandweg & Ager in 2006. Our team consists of a full-time nurse consultant, a paralegal, two legal assistants and a physician who is "of counsel" to the firm. My clients always have direct access to me whenever they want. I have helped many people and have successfully tried many cases.

Winning Outcome
After our family had interviewed several personal injury attorneys for my father's case against a very large insurance company, a highly respected trial attorney from New York referred us to John Ager of Sandweg & Ager, P.C. John is a highly skilled attorney and legal advocate. He is incredibly respo...

"Great Lawyer!"
My wife and I found ourselves in the unfortunate situation of having to find a lawyer. I was somewhat skeptical of the whole process and concerned about being charged an arm and a leg. John put us both at ease right away at the initial consultation and was very fair and honest from the get go. Great ...
John P Ager's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. John Ager is an excellent lawyer in his chosen field of practice. He has high ethical standards and maintains a practical viewpoint of cases, handling them efficiently and with the utmost integrity. I trust John to fairly evaluate all referrals I send him, whether he accepts the case or not. He will give you practical advice about the case, and whether or not it is something that should be pursued. In my opinion this last trait is lacking in the profession, and it is refreshing to see it alive and well. I wholeheartedly endorse him for any medical malpractice case."
"John Ager is an exceptional lawyer in all respects. He is an able advocate who is highly respected in the legal community. I routinely consult with John on difficult or nuanced legal matters that I encounter in my personal injury legal practice. Given John's skill, I not only refer cases to him, I would hire him myself if I were harmed by a doctor. John thus receives my highest recommendation."
