Overview

Content is provided by the firm.

At Hart Wagner, we are trial lawyers. We try meaningful civil cases, perhaps more in the Pacific Northwest than any other law firm. In the past three years, our lawyers tried more than 30 civil cases representing doctors, medical institutions, governmental agencies, employers, and others. This is not all we do, but skill in the courtroom is our strength.

Our lawyers are reasonable, confident, ethical, efficient and cost-conscious.

And because our partners have been successfully handling jury trials for years, we have loyal and trusting clients, the respect of judges and considerable recognition from the legal profession.

We encourage you to read more about Hart Wagner's trial lawyers and specialty areas of practice at www.hartwagner.com.

Hart Wagner is one of Portland's leading litigation firms, which I would rate as excellent in all categories. I work with Hart Wagner lawyers regularly and refer litigation matters to them.
Personal Injury Litigation - Defendants
This firm has the ability to respond to emergency situations with calmness and expertise. Their excellence is in their clear communication and resolution skills.
Medical Malpractice Law - Defendants
I know that if I refer a case to the team at Hart Wagner, they will be hard at work representing my company's interests immediately. I trust them.
