Testimonials

note: prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome

The quality of engagement your firm brought into writing ERISA opinion for Active Allocator – marrying regulation, computer science, finance theory, industry drivers – spending months thinking so carefully is exemplary. Most law firms wouldn’t even have known where to begin. Or even have accepted the assignment. Your firm in its multidisciplinary thinking exemplifies for me what a top notch firm ought to be.

– Sameer Jain, Partner

The Court found her experience with 403(b) plans impressive and her [Marcia Wagner] testimony consistent, reasonable, logical and ultimately, highly credible.

– Judge Katherine B. Forrest

In a financial industry filled with doubts, conflicted advice and charlatans I have been able to find one clear voice who is able to give both honest advice and counsel to people who need to know what is true and how to proceed in the complex regulatory environment surrounding ERISA. Today more than ever, the Wagner Law Group is a firm you need to know.
