Edmund L. Wagoner

Edmund Wagoner is a civil litigator with extensive experience across complex civil matters, with a primary focus on oil and gas litigation, personal injury, wrongful death, and commercial disputes. His practice is shaped by a unique background that includes representing major corporations, hospital systems, nursing home chains, retailers, and oil and gas producers early in his career, as well as performing oil and gas real estate work for producers throughout Appalachia. Since 2012, Edmund has represented mineral owners, small businesses, and individuals in lawsuits against oil and gas companies, hospitals, insurance carriers, and corporate defendants. His firsthand knowledge of how these entities operate gives his clients a significant advantage in litigation. Edmund is driven by a deep belief in the importance of the civil justice system. After years in large‑firm practice, he chose to represent individuals and small businesses so he could advocate for clients whose voices are often overshadowed by corporate influence. He values the power of the jury system and considers it a privilege to stand up for clients in court. Although Edmund began his career representing large oil and gas and insurance companies, he quickly realized his work belonged with the people those companies often overlook. Today, he uses that inside knowledge to help West Virginians, mineral owners, and families stand up to corporate defendants and insurance carriers. He also represents individuals and families harmed by serious injuries, including vehicle accidents, medical negligence, workplace incidents, and wrongful death.
