In 2005, attorney Luke M. Wagner graduated from the William Mitchell College of Law and returned home to practice law with his father in western Wisconsin. He is admitted to practice law in both Wisconsin and Minnesota state courts and in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. Since this time he has recovered over $10 million for his clients.
Mr. Wagner’s practice is dedicated to helping people who have been injured. He looks out for all of his clients as if they were family. In 2010, he brought a case all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. In that case, Mr. Wagner represented an insured child who had been injured in a hit-and-run motor vehicle versus bicycle accident. The family's own insurance company refused to compensate the child for his injuries (broken arm and leg) even though he had uninsured motorist coverage. The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed with Mr. Wagner’s arguments and the insurance company was forced to provide coverage for his client.
Throughout his career, Mr. Wagner has been involved in the legal community through organizations such as the American Bar Association, the Wisconsin Association for Justice, the St. Croix Valley Bar Association, and the Eau Claire County Bar Association. Additionally, Mr. Wagner has participated in Leadership Menomonie through the Menomonie Area Chamber of Commerce.
When he is not at work, he also enjoys playing softball, golf, volleyball, deer hunting, and walking his dog Hank.
