PRACTICE EMPHASIS & DESCRIPTION

Janet Schroer is a partner at Portland, Oregon-based Hart Wagner LLP.  Her practice emphasizes civil litigation, including tort, contract, medical and professional malpractice, business and constitutional law, in both the trial and appellate courts, as well as professional licensing matters.

Janet frequently serves the firm’s clients in the Oregon Court of Appeals, Oregon Supreme Court, and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  She also represents her clients' business, professional and personal interests before various trial courts and licensing agencies.  Her practice requires that she often work closely with the client’s general counsel or trial lawyer on appellate matters, and so she has developed strong and long-lasting relationships with other lawyers.

Janet has handled well over 50 cases to final decision in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  She has handled 31 cases to final opinion in the Oregon Supreme Court, 127 cases with opinions in the Oregon Court of Appeals, and many more that were affirmed without opinion.  She also has handled appeals in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, Idaho Supreme Court, Nevada Supreme Court, and Washington Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.
