Forrest Lee Wagner | Olympia Divorce & Family Lawyer | Washington

Forrest Wagner has been practicing criminal defense and family law since 1986.  He founded the Law Office of Forrest L. Wagner, P.S. in 1995 to service his clients with his unique blend of congenial personal service and zealous advocacy.  Forrest tries to offer what other attorneys can't.  "Winning the Divorce Game in Washington" is so integral to Forrest's conception of family law that he wrote a book on the subject.  It all comes down to people.  Not everyone is right for this firm, and this firm is not right for everyone.  Clients who are the right fit will be the happy beneficiaries of quality representation consistently delivering superior service, performance, and product.

Forrest grew up in Aberdeen, WA, and went east of the mountains to graduate Cum Laude from prestigious Whitman College in Walla Walla in 1983.  A member of the venerable Phi Beta Kappa honor society, Forrest decided to study law at the tiny, but elite Washington and Lee University School of Law.  He was a Moot Team Qualifier and graduated in 1986.  Forrest decided on Olympia as the ideal community to practice law, and he eventually became one of the most sought-after divorce attorneys in the local bar.  Forrest hung out his shingle in 1995 and limits his practice to family law and criminal defense.

Forrest has been married for 29 years and has four children.
