Cathy A. Wagner

I have been a licensed and practicing attorney for 16 years now, working primarily with families in a variety of legal areas. My total experience dates back to 1977 when I started in the industry as a legal secretary. My undergraduate degree is in accounting. What all this means for you is that I have the knowledge, experience and ability to manage many tasks and files at the same time and do so with the highest quality and attention to detail. All of the areas in which I practice require accurate and effective financial analysis,

You will find that I take a practical and reasonable approach to every legal issue, counseling you with respect to potential outcomes and the costs of litigating issues. The costs of litigation encompass much more than the monetary costs. I understand that, and make every effort to guide you through the legal processes and procedures with a minimum of confusion. I can't promise that you won't be frustrated. The processes and procedures involved in any law suit or other legal proceeding can be very frustrating. What I can promise you is that I will fight hard for you and advocate for your best interests with respect to any issue which is important to you.

I have worked in large downtown Minneapolis law firms and in small offices both in the Metro area and in outstate Minnesota. This is important for you because I have experience with families and estates of modest means as well as significant wealth.

On a personal note, I raised two sons to adulthood as a single mother and I am very active in my church. I am an organist and I accompany a women's vocal group on the piano or keyboard.
