How to Contact Hoeppner Wagner & Evans LLP or Request a Consultation

Updated

Hoeppner Wagner & Evans LLP invites prospective clients to reach out directly through its website, where the firm states that its legal team "welcomes the opportunity to meet you, sit down with you in person and confidentially discuss the most effective solution for your unique situation." If you have a legal matter in Northwest Indiana or beyond, the firm's site is the starting point for requesting that consultation. The exact phone number, email address, and contact form are published on the site itself, so use those listed details rather than any third-party listing.

What the Firm Says About Consultations

The site frames consultations under the heading "Consultations For Clarity." The stated purpose is a confidential, in-person meeting to identify the most effective solution for your specific situation. This tells you two things about how to approach the firm:

  • Expect an initial conversation aimed at understanding your situation, not an immediate answer to a complex legal question.
  • The firm presents itself as willing to meet in person, so be prepared to describe your matter clearly enough for the attorneys to assess fit.

Practice Areas to Reference When You Reach Out

Knowing which practice area applies to your situation helps you (and the firm) route your inquiry to the right attorney. The site lists the following areas:

Practice Area What the Site Says
Business and Corporate Counsel for "every aspect of your business," including general business/corporate services and business/corporate litigation
Defense of Employment Discrimination Claims Litigation and appeals lawyers with a "recognized reputation for results in court"
Estate Planning Help with estate planning, adoption, and back taxes
Construction Disputes Legal solutions to resolve construction disputes "efficiently and favorably"
Employer-Side Labor and Employment Advice to corporate owners and managers on complex employment issues
Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, and Motor Vehicle Accidents Representation for injuries caused by negligence
Alternate Dispute Resolution Mediation and arbitration for "more efficient and cost effective outcomes"

The firm also describes Virtual In-House Counsel services for clients in business, banking, real estate, estate planning, and wealth management, and notes experience in complex litigation, jury trials, appeals in state and federal courts, administrative proceedings, and ADR.

Attorneys Listed on the Site

The site names the following attorneys, whose individual profiles are available there:

  • Larry G. Evans
  • John E. Hughes
  • F. Joseph Jaskowiak
  • Kimberly P. Peil
  • James L. Jorgensen
  • Andrew T. Shupp
  • Richard N. Shapiro
  • Miranda Bower
  • Autumn Zager

If your matter falls under a specific practice area, reviewing these profiles before contacting the firm can help you identify who may be best suited to your case.

How to Prepare Before You Reach Out

The site does not publish a checklist, but a consultation described as a discussion of "the most effective solution for your unique situation" works best when you arrive with basic facts ready. For example, if you are inquiring about a motor vehicle accident, have the date, location, parties involved, and any police or insurance documentation on hand. If your matter is a business or construction dispute, gather relevant contracts, correspondence, and a short timeline of events.

What the Site Does Not Specify

The published material does not state consultation fees, response times, or whether initial consultations are free. It also does not list a phone number, email address, or office address in the text provided here — those details appear elsewhere on the site. Confirm any fee or scheduling questions directly with the firm when you make contact.

Practical Next Step

Go to hwelaw.com, locate the contact information and attorney profiles published there, and reach out with a brief summary of your situation and the practice area it relates to. The firm's own invitation is to meet confidentially and discuss the most effective solution for your unique situation, so lead with the facts that let them evaluate whether they can help.
