Wagner & Jones LLP

What Wagner & Jones LLP does

Wagner & Jones LLP, operating as The Wagner Law Group, is a Fresno, California-based personal injury law firm founded in 1982 as a California limited liability partnership. The firm represents individual injury victims across the Central Valley (Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Visalia, Hanford, Tulare, Sanger, and surrounding communities) and South Lake Tahoe, with practice areas spanning motor vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, brain and burn injuries, wrongful death, slip and fall, plane crash, defective product, sexual misconduct (including police and prison abuse), and wildfire litigation. Its business model is contingency-fee only: clients pay no upfront cost, medical providers are engaged on lien, and attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of settlement or verdict, with the firm receiving nothing if the case is lost.

The firm differentiates through a stated trial-ready posture and a track record of $300M+ in cumulative recoveries, anchored by landmark matters including the PG&E Camp Fire wildfire settlement ($100M+), the Ridgeway v. Walmart verdict ($72.4M), and the FCI Dublin prison abuse settlement ($116M+). It has no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard law-firm practice/case management systems and a direct-to-consumer acquisition stack built around search-engine-optimized landing pages for each city x practice-area combination, 24/7 phone intake, free consultations, home and hospital visits, and earned media from press coverage of major verdicts. Marketing and intake are sales-led and consumer-direct, with no intermediary channel partners, and recognition includes Super Lawyers, a California State Assembly recognition award, and an Outstanding Benefactor award from the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation.
