Robert F. Wagner and Edward D. Lewis founded Lewis Wagner & Trimble with a vision for an inclusive law firm focused on leveraging practical solutions, common sense, and accountability to exceed client expectations. 70 years later, that same vision guides us in all that we do.
As the firm grew, so did its legacy—shaped in large part by John C. Trimble’s four decades of leadership, generosity, and national influence in the legal profession. To reflect his lasting impact, our firm rebranded in 2025—becoming Lewis Wagner & Trimble, a name that reflects both our history and our continued commitment to excellence, integrity, and client service.
