In his family law cases, Attorney Hagner works hard to negotiate the best resolution possible for his clients, while working to keep their costs down.  If a case cannot be resolved through negotiation, then Attorney Hagner has the skills and experience necessary to take the case to trial.  Attorney Hagner is always accessible to his clients and keeps them informed through every stage of the legal process.

Attorney Hagner has experience representing more than 1,000 clients in cases involving issues of domestic violence or domestic abuse.  Allegations of domestic violence or abuse in a criminal case can have a significant impact on a client’s ability to obtain legal custody or periods of placement with their children.  Domestic Abuse Injunctions and Harassment Injunctions can also have significant effects on a client’s rights.
