This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fantastic Attorney

I was referred to Jospeh though another attorney at his law firm. I could not be happier that he did. Jospeh immediately set to work on my case. He worked with me at all hours of the day or night not only on preparation of documents, and information gathering but to calm my fears and ensure that I... was in a good headspace to continue to do my job and function as a human being should. Joseph was always honest with me on what he could and could not provide and what, based on the evidence, he believed the outcome would be. I would not want anyone else to represent me in this type of matter other than Mr. Wilkinson.

An excellent advocate

I worked with Joseph several times in our intersecting military careers, and have only positive things to say about him. Joseph is a patriot and a fabulous attorney. I first met him in 2008 on a combat deployment in Iraq, where we were co-located on the same base. He was friendly, knowledgeable an...d hard-working. I know Joseph deployed several times in his career, and each deployment was dangerous and physically, mentally, and emotional demanding and takes unique strength to simply survive the grind of deployments. I met him again when we both were military defense attorneys for the US Army Trial Defense Services. We worked together on one serious felony level case and shared advise on many other cases. Joseph attacked that case with incredible zealousness and passion. Overall I know that he has a exceptional reputation in the JAG Corps, and his great reputation was well-earned. I would definitely work with Joseph in the future if given a chance.
