When Alex J. Hagan was in law school, a professor’s advice on how to choose a practice area set the tone for his career. She told him if he practiced with attorneys he respected and was happy to call his work family, his career would be interesting and fulfilling.

“That response has stuck with me, and I have been lucky to work with the very best trial attorneys, some of whom I still work with today,” he says.

Hagan, a founding member of Ellis & Winters, has extensive commercial litigation experience. His practice also includes product liability defense, the defense of academic institutions, religious organizations, and health care providers. He is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and has held leadership positions with DRI.

“I have intentionally built my practice to serve many industries, and I work with many types of clients on a variety of legal issues affecting their business,” he says. “This keeps my work interesting and challenging.”
