Jennifer Wagner is a Middlebury, Vermont, attorney who advises clients on family law, juvenile matters, adoptions, wills, probate, estate planning, landlord-tenant issues, civil litigation, administrative hearings, and appeals. She helps individuals and families address legal concerns involving relationships, property, estates, housing, and court procedures.

Jennifer earned a J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law. She earned a B.A. from the University of Vermont. Her legal education included professional training through clerkship and legal assistant internships. Those placements involved the Vermont Supreme Court, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Vermont Legal Aid, and a Burlington law office. This background supports careful case review, client counseling, legal writing, and practical courtroom preparation for each legal matter.

Jennifer returned to Vermont after law school and spent four years as a law clerk for judges of the Superior, Criminal, and Family Courts in Rutland. That experience provided direct knowledge of Vermont court procedure, litigation practice, and family court decision-making. She later worked as a shareholder in a local firm before opening her solo practice, where she continues serving clients in Middlebury and nearby Vermont communities through focused representation.

Jennifer Wagner brings more than 25 years of experience to matters that affect families, estates, housing, and civil rights. She has served with the Vermont Bar Foundation, including secretary and committee leadership roles. She also serves as the current Town Moderator for Bristol.
