Sauer & Wagner is a civil litigation boutique law firm that provides its clients with creative solutions to their problems in a prompt and efficient manner at a fair and reasonable cost. S&W represents both plaintiffs and defendants in federal and state courts as well as in administrative proceedings, private mediations and arbitration tribunals.
S&W was founded in 1997 by Gerald L. Sauer. The firm’s success in litigating contentious disputes for its clients is predicated on the experience and perseverance of its attorneys. S&W understands that litigation can be unpredictable and that reevaluating strategies is critical to “winning the case.”
S&W’s approach to litigation is simple. Clients are advised of reasonable courses of action and probable outcomes to empower them to make educated decisions. S&W’s clients are in control of the litigation process from the very beginning, and they decide if and when a case is settled or should proceed through the pleading, fact-finding and motion phases to an eventual trial and possibly an appeal.
