Overview
Max J. Wagner concentrates his practice on insurance coverage defense and litigation, representing clients through all stages of complex disputes. In addition to his litigation practice, he brings experience in appellate matters, multidistrict litigation, and personal injury defense, offering clients strategic insight across a broad range of contentious matters.
Throughout his career, Max has worked on claims resulting from catastrophic events, such as Winter Storm Uri.
