Jordan R. Wagner is a partner and civil trial lawyer at KW Stuart Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers who represents clients in personal injury cases. Mr. Wagner has been named one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers Association and has repeatedly been included on a list of Rising Stars within the legal community, which is published by Super Lawyers.
Mr. Wagner is also a Board Certified Civil Trial lawyer, an honor that is only bestowed upon the top 1% of lawyers in the state of Florida. This award indicates that Jordan R. Wagner is viewed as an expert in the field of personal injury law by the Florida Bar Association. This certification is one of the many ways that Mr. Wagner has managed to differentiate himself from other personal injury attorneys in the area.
Before joining KW Stuart Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers, Mr. Wagner received a bachelor's degree from Wake Forest University, which is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He then went on to earn his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Minnesota School of Law.
After graduating from the University of Minnesota, Mr. Wagner began working as a prosecutor in the Treasure Coast area. During his time in this position, he learned the ins and outs of the criminal justice system and successfully prosecuted cases involving white collar crimes, murder, and crimes against children.
Mr. Wagner then decided it was time for a change, so he left his job as a prosecutor and began working as an insurance defense lawyer for a highly respected firm in Stuart, Florida. He wasn't aware of it at the time, but Mr. Wagner was able to gain invaluable experience as an insurance defense lawyer that he would be able to use to his advantage later on in his career.
He quickly earned the reputation of being one of the best insurance defense lawyers, and local law firms started to take notice. One of the largest personal injury firms in the state eventually persuaded Mr. Wagner to leave his job at the insurance company behind and work as a personal injury attorney.
Mr. Wagner has now dedicated his career to helping those who have been seriously injured. Instead of working for the large insurance companies, Mr. Wagner works tirelessly now to help victims secure as much compensation as possible for their injuries. Because of his experience defending insurance companies, Mr. Wagner knows exactly how to negotiate and communicate with insurance companies to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients.
Throughout his career, Mr. Wagner has been actively involved with professional associations within the community. He is currently a member of several local professional associations, including the Florida Bar, Martin County Bar Association, Martin County Inns of Court, Chairman of Martin County Bar Trial Lawyers Committee, and Palm Beach County Justice Association.
