Meet Ryan Wagner

Ryan Wagner joined Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP in 2022 after graduating from law school and quickly immersed himself in legal practice. Within three days of becoming licensed in Texas, he went to trial and secured a jury verdict that was five times higher than the Defendant’s pre-trial offer.

Since then, Ryan has taken on significant cases, including workplace injuries resulting in wrongful deaths, amputations, fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and severe burns. In just two years, he has accumulated well over $10 million in settlements and verdicts as lead counsel. Ryan does not back down from challenging cases—he embraces them. In 2024, after numerous depositions, he obtained a $3.5 million settlement in a premises liability case. He has also favorably resolved many high-stakes cases, resulting in multiple seven-figure settlements.

Ryan graduated from the University of Houston Law Center where he was on the Dean’s list every year, he competed as an advocate on the renowned UHLC Interscholastic Mock Trial Team, worked as a Notes & Comments Editor on the Houston Journal of Health Law & Policy, and he served as a Presenter of the University of Houston Law Center’s Honor Board.

Although Ryan is licensed in the state of Texas, his practice spans nationwide, representing clients in state and federal courts across the country. His areas of expertise include catastrophic personal injury, non-subscriber workplace injuries, maritime and offshore law, premises liability, product liability, and wrongful death.

Outside of work, Ryan enjoys spending time with his family, hunting, fishing, and attending University of Texas football games with his father.
