A Milwaukee native, Hagedorn graduated from Trinity International University in 2000 and was employed by Hewitt Associates before receiving his law degree from Northwestern University.[1] At Northwestern, Hagedorn was president of the school's Federalist Society chapter.[2] Hagedorn was an attorney at the Milwaukee firm Foley and Lardner until 2009, when he was appointed as a law clerk to Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.[1] In 2010, Hagedorn was employed as an assistant attorney general in the Wisconsin Department of Justice.[1][3] In December 2010, Hagedorn was appointed by Republican Governor-elect Scott Walker as his chief legal counsel, an office he occupied through July 2015. As chief legal counsel, Hagedorn was a drafter of Walker's controversial Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill of 2011.[1] In 2014, he served as appointing authority for defense counsel hired to represent state prosecutors sued by targets of a John Doe probe into Walker's staff.[4]

On July 30, 2015, Walker appointed Hagedorn to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to be chambered in the Waukesha-based District II. Hagedorn took office on August 1, 2015 and replaced Richard S. Brown, who served on the court from 1978 to 2015 and as chief judge from 2007.[2]
