Donna Wagner, Attorney at Law
I am committed to providing you with the best legal service I can. I understand how overwhelming it can be to work through unfamiliar legal issues. When you hire me as your lawyer, you get a strong advocate whose only focus is helping you secure the best possible result in your case.
I help people from all walks of life to resolve their legal issues in the areas of family law and criminal defense. I have been fortunate to travel extensively throughout the world, and I appreciate the differences of people from diverse backgrounds. I treat every client with dignity and respect, regardless of your background or the type of legal issue you are facing.
I graduated with honors from Vanderbilt University with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and later earned my law degree from the Nashville School of Law in 2004. I soon joined the public defender’s office where I worked for four successful years. I believed that, in starting my own practice, I could be more effective in helping people deal with a variety of legal issues. In 2008, I founded The Law Office of Donna Wagner, which has allowed me to fully realize my passion for helping people at all levels of litigation and protection.
I take pride in my reputation for providing personalized service to every client. I handle every aspect of your case myself, and I am the one who answers the phone when you call with questions or concerns. If I am not immediately available to speak with you when you call, I will follow up with you at my very first opportunity.

“I spoke with several attorneys and from the moment I spoke with Donna I knew she was the person I wanted to hire for a child custody case.
From the very first interaction she was enthusiastic, friendly, and honest. She asked a lot of questions to get to know the case well. I was so impressed with how thorough and thoughtful she was throughout the entire process, explaining every step along the way.
Donna was great at staying in contact and kept me updated as everything progressed. She was affordable and very fair in her billing. If ever another situation is to arise in which I’m requiring legal assistance and representation she will be the first I call.
Due to Donna’s persistence I was able to come out ahead with more than I had ever hoped for when I first brought her my case. She helped me to see and understand things about my situation that would have never occurred to me on my own.
This woman has so much integrity! I’m so grateful for all of her help during a nerve wracking time. She was incredibly personable. I highly recommend Donna Wagner for your legal needs.
Best decision I ever made in the midst of a divorce, from someone who asked for the divorce, was to hire Donna Wagner. I was facing an attorney who was representing my spouse, thinking all I had to do was sign the papers. No, they were attempting to get money out of me. Keep in mind we didn’t have any kids. Anyhow, Donna came in and shut it all down. I was due in court in a week and she got that continued. After going back and forth with the opposing attorney, Donna was able to not only get them to settle the case without going to court but have everything ruled in my favor. I am finally divorced and can breathe easy. Thank you Donna Wagner!
Donna provided such expertise during my case with her. She was always responsive, knowledgeable and professional, while also being compassionate to my situation. I cannot recommend her enough!

I obtained Mrs. Donna Wagner’s services in 2012 to help with my charge of driving under the influence. I first called several other attorneys, but none of them were willing to listen to my case. Mrs. Wagner not only took the time to listen but went out of her way to be sensitive to my issues, respond quickly to my questions, and help me understand this unfamiliar process. It was clear to me from the beginning that she knew the system well and was very thorough in her exploration into my case. With her experience and knowledge of the Mt. Juiliet court system, combined with her adept use of the evidence at hand, she was able to get my charges significantly reduced. I could not be more happy with my choice of attorney. I am certain that I would not have had such a successful outcome without her guidance and skill.
