My name is Shery Olivo, Republican candidate for New York State Assembly in Bronx District 86, and I can honestly say that hiring Jimmy Wagner was one of the best decisions I made during my campaign.
As a first-time candidate, let me tell you this process is not easy, especially when you get challenged. There’s pressure, politics, stress, and a system that can feel overwhelming when you’re new to it. That’s why having the right Election Law Attorney matters, and Jimmy Wagner was exactly that for me.
From day one, Jimmy Wagner and his team stood by me, guided me through the entire process, defended me in court, and fought hard for me every step of the way. We were up against a very high-profile attorney and political pressure, but Jimmy never backed down. He fought for every signature, every voter, and every legal argument until we WON and I officially made it onto the ballot.
What meant the most to me was that he truly cared. As a first-time Republican candidate, there were moments that felt stressful and overwhelming, but Jimmy made sure I understood the process, stayed confident, and kept fighting. He didn’t just represent me as an attorney he defended the voices of the people who signed my petitions and believed in my campaign.
There are not many Election Law / Ballot Access Attorneys who truly understand this process and are willing to fight this hard for their clients, but Jimmy Wagner and his team are definitely one of them.
If you are a first-time candidate, dealing with petition challenges, ballot access issues, or election law matters, I highly recommend Jimmy Wagner. I am living proof that he fights for his clients and delivers results.
Thank you again, Jimmy, for believing in me, defending me, and helping me stay on the ballot for the people of Bronx District 86.

If you're looking for a lawyer who actually fights, and wins, against the government when they play dirty, look no further than Jimmy Wagner and his incredible team.
The government threw everything at us: lies, withheld evidence, procedural tricks, outright cheating, and every dirty tactic you can imagine. Most attorneys would have folded or pushed for a weak settlement just to make it go away. Not Jimmy. He and his team refused to back down, stayed relentless, kept exposing the truth piece by piece, and never let the other side intimidate or outlast them.
Through years of grueling battle, they stayed laser focused and strategic. They outworked, out-thought, and out-fought a system that was actively trying to bury the case. In the end, justice was actually served. I was made whole fully compensated for everything I was owed and the government was held accountable.
This isn’t just a good lawyer. This is the kind of attorney you pray you have when the deck is stacked against you and the powerful are trying to crush you. Jimmy Wagner and his team delivered real results, real justice, and real peace of mind.
I can’t thank them enough. If you need someone who will stand up to the biggest opponents and actually win, hire Jimmy Wagner. 5 stars isn’t enough they’re in a league of their own.
Highly, highly recommended.

I can't recommend Jimmy Wagner highly enough. When a massive, ruthless corporation came after me, I felt completely outmatched—until I hired him. He didn’t just defend me; he went full warrior mode, outsmarted them at every turn, and absolutely destroyed their case. He returned calls at all hours, explained everything clearly, and fought like my future depended on it (because it did). The result was a total victory. If you’re up against a monster and need someone who actually delivers, this is the attorney you want. 10/10, worth every penny and more.

With deep appreciation, I thank Jimmy Wagner for helping me fight “injustice”. My NYC co-op situation is quite unique. I, as well as other shareholders, were mis informed by the board members that we have no right to sublet our units. Upon Wagner’s careful review of the by-laws however with only one phone call he made a historical correction.
Just the mention of his name makes any other legal counsel second think their approach of deceits. He should be collecting royalty for just having his name, Jimmy Wagner, mentioned and yielding QUICK results. Jimmy Wagner is really that amazing!

We were referred to Jimmy by another lawyer to handle my uncle’s estate. Although it was a long process Jimmy’s handling of all the details was exceptional. He was always available to answer any questions during the process. I would highly recommend him, as working with him was a pleasure.

I heard about Jimmy from a paralegal friend. He said Jimmy was one of the best in the field. I soon learned why. He’s a beast! When he speaks he instills fear, when he attacks he causes people to shudder and stutter their responses. Out of the courtroom he would answer my calls or return them the same day if he were in court. He always made me feel as though my case were the only one he was working on. in his eyes I was able to see his determination and dedication to win my case. There was no other person I would have wanted by my side representing me!

For most people who have never been involved or dealt with the legal system, especially in NYC, they should count themselves lucky. For all others who are not so lucky and find themselves in a situation where they have no choice but to seek legal counsel, one quickly realizes it is no easy task retaining an attorney who you feel confident is up to the task and not a shyster out to drag out the whole process in order to squeeze every last penny out with billable hours.
I consulted with various attorneys that requested exorbitant retainers until I came across Mr. Wagner. He immediately struck me as someone who possessed the right balance of experience, technical skill and street smarts to give the best possibility for success and my judgement was proven right when Mr. Wagner achieved a favorable outcome for me.
There are other factors at play during a court case which one does not necessarily have any control over which can also affect the outcome of a case. The biggest factor one does have control over is choosing representation wisely and from my experience, I can honestly say that Mr. Wagner will represent you and your interests with integrity. Good luck.

I spoke with Jimmy regarding an elder law matter after he was recommended by a friend. He was very gracious with his time, listened to my situation and talked me through all the options. At no point did he ever seem interested in collecting a fee from me but rather trying to get me and my family to the best place in the most efficient manner. I would recommend Jimmy and will be returning to him in the future should the need arise.

Jimmy took my case when other lawyers wouldn't. He always kept in touch with me and he got my reasonable accommodation granted in a settlement with the City. He's a tough negotiator and he doesn't give up. Truly a decent guy. I'm lucky to have found this lawyer.

Jimmy helped us look over two contracts for two co-op apartments and helped us close on one of them. We were first time home buyers and he always made time for us whenever we had a question and was very patient with us throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Jimmy Wagner to anyone looking for a real estate lawyer. So glad we worked together. Thank you, Jimmy!

This firm delivered! If you are seeking an attorney to “get it done”, efficiently and professionally, look no further! After a long and protracted Estate case which my siblings and I thought we “were never going to see the light at the end of the tunnel”, attorney Jimmy Wagner was able to negotiate a settlement. This is significant because prior to Mr. Wagner’s involvement, this case was on-going for approximately 11 years and at times it was stagnant. Mr. Wagner was able to quickly resolve an issue that previously prevented the Estate from reaching distribution. But, more importantly; however, his knowledge of probate and real estate law enabled him to move the case along as expeditiously as possible given its status/history and procedural posture, at the time he was retained.
He is straightforward and no nonsense; but at the same time, courteous. And when it comes to civil litigation strategy, he thinks “smart”. He quickly accomplished what seemed impossible. A client could not ask for a better attorney.

I recently used Attorney Jim Wagner when I sold my home. I like that he was easy to reach and answered my questions in a way I could easily understand. I felt well- represented during this process which was quite emotional at times. He helped me stay calm and focused on one step at a time. I’m happy with the services of Jim Wagner and his office staff and highly recommend them. Would I use him again? Indeed!

My experience with Jim Wagner has been nothing short of exceptional. He is knowledgable, prompt, and compassionate; he has taken the time to get to know my individual situation and craft a plan of legal action specifically for my needs. He is readily available to speak when I need him, and he is fair and honest about fees and outcomes. Working with Jim during this difficult time has given me a ray of hope and I know he will continue to his best for me and my family.
