What legal practice areas does Hoeppner Wagner & Evans LLP handle?

Hoeppner Wagner & Evans LLP is a Northwest Indiana law firm that serves local, statewide, national, and international clients. According to its website, the firm handles business and corporate matters, business and corporate litigation, personal injury and wrongful death (including car and truck accidents), construction law and disputes, employer-side labor and employment and defense of employment discrimination claims, appeals, alternative dispute resolution, and estate planning and probate. If your issue falls into one of those categories, the firm is likely worth a look; if it does not, you may need a different firm.

Practice areas listed by the firm

The site groups its work into the following areas:

• Business and corporate — general business and corporate services, plus business and corporate litigation.
• Personal injury, wrongful death, and motor vehicle accidents — including car and truck accidents caused by negligence.
• Construction law — including help resolving construction disputes.
• Employer-side labor and employment — advising corporate owners and managers on complex employment issues.
• Defense of employment discrimination claims — defending employers against discrimination claims.
• Appeals — appeals in state and federal courts.
• Estate planning and probate — estate planning, adoption, and back-tax matters.
• Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) — mediation and arbitration.

How to read the list: some areas are defense- or employer-side

A few of these practice areas are written from the employer's or defendant's side, not the employee's or plaintiff's:

So if you are an employee with a discrimination or wage claim, this firm's employment work is described as employer-side and defense-oriented — that is a reason to check whether it fits your situation before reaching out.

Litigation, trials, and appeals experience

The firm states that its attorneys handle complex litigation, jury trials, and appeals in state and federal courts, administrative proceedings, and alternative dispute resolution. It also offers what it calls "virtual in-house counsel" for clients in business, banking, real estate, estate planning, and wealth management.
