About
I help businesses and professionals effectively avoid and resolve legal disputes. Whether helping clients in litigation or working through a complex transaction, I provide practical advice in an effective and timely manner. My ultimate goal is to ensure that my clients are in a better position (economically and otherwise) at the end of the day, as compared to when they first met me. My practice emphasizes complex litigation that involves construction law, business law, real estate law, commercial litigation, insurance law, and surety law. Among others, I represents business owners, property owners, developers, contractors, design professionals, appraisers, material suppliers, insurers and sureties. In addition to handling numerous types of construction and commercial litigation (including lien claims, bond claims, contract disputes, design and defect claims, business tort claims and shareholder disputes), I also represent individuals and entities in various business and real estate matters. In addition to helping clients avoid and resolve disputes, I assist clients to negotiate and close commercial and real property transactions, help corporate clients to efficiently maintain and operate their businesses, and advise clients regarding various insurance matters. Specialties: Complex litigation, focusing on business, real estate, construction and professional malpractice disputes; contract and tort law; legal solutions for businesses; corporate and real estate transactions.

Reviews
Lee represented me in a complaint and subsequent law suit. His expertise, professionalism, and supportive counsel navigated me through a confusing and stressful time. Lee was always available, including week-ends, when I needed assistance. Ultimately the law suit was dismissed without any payment from my insurance carrier of myself. Truly a "good" guy with a sharp legal mind as well as practical, problem solving street smarts. I have since consulted with Lee on a few more mundane, yet important, business concerns. Top notch service with sage, "smart" advice. I highly recommend Lee to any real estate professional.
Mr. Wagner provided counsel related to a professional liability claim and defense in a separate lawsuit brought by a construction contractor. His proactive approach allowed us to settle the professional liability claim in a mutually agreeable fashion, and be entirely dismissed from the contractor’s lawsuit via a motion to dismiss. He is always very responsive to questions whether by email or phone, and provides a very balanced perspective on advice, outlining the potential benefits and risks of decisions we were making.
Lee helped us resolve a difficult and protracted case that went on for several years. Lee provided good advise and direction lessening our overall risk and exposure as the case was settled.
