Shea Stokes Roberts & Wagner is devoted to meeting the total business needs of our clients.

We have more than 100 years of accumulated experience in nearly every industry and profession across North America.  We have worked tirelessly to develop a reputation for being aggressive, creative and cost-effective in pursuing the interests of our clients.

We are passionate about your success. We focus on preventing lawsuits, so you can focus on moving your business forward. While litigation is a reality, we believe working to prevent conflict is the best way to prepare for conflict.

When our clients face litigation, we react immediately.  We do not believe in overkill, but in providing the solutions to end the litigation as expeditiously and favorably as possible.  When we go to court, we go to win.

Individualized client needs drive the structure of our fee agreements.  The benefit you receive from us will always exceed its cost.  We begin "with the end in mind" to ensure that you are driven by good business sense, not by legal fees.

While it is an honor to be selected as counsel for any client, we are happiest when our clients no longer need us to defend them in court.

TOP TRIAL ATTORNEYS

We are proven in the courtroom before, during and after trial.  Our experience as litigators and appellate lawyers enables us to approach conflict confidently, creatively and cost-effectively.  We have produced scores of victories for our clients by challenges to the pleadings, defeating class certification, prevailing on summary judgment, trying cases to verdict, and positioning cases for optimum settlement.

LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT

No one understands labor and employment law like we do.  From participating in more than 200 takeovers, to negotiating collective bargaining agreements throughout the country, we know the laws that impact our clients. We have defended every conceivable type of employment claim in court, arbitration and before both state and federal administrative panels. We have defeated class certification in every employment class actions we have defended.

BUSINESS / COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

Serving as outside general counsel for two major Corporations, which employ hundreds of people, provides us with a unique perspective regarding business.  It also enables us to appreciate the pressures on corporations and general counsel to know and comply with all applicable laws, to prevent lawsuits in a culture which promotes them and to keep legal costs down.  Each business dispute we handle is not only an opportunity to move toward the desired result, but to gain the insight necessary to prevent the next dispute.

GENERAL LIABILITY / PRODUCT DEFECT

We have defended hundreds of cases for national clients involving medical and dental devices, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction products, farm equipment, vehicles, industrial machinery and equipment and appliances.
