Personal Injury 80%

The fact that mishaps are fairly commonplace does not detract from the pain and confusion that can result when an accident or injury happens to you or a loved one. If you decide to take steps toward protecting your legal rights after an accident or injury, you may have a number of questions we can answer for you.

Criminal Defense 15%

The government must prove every element of your case beyond a reasonable doubt. If it is unable to do so, you cannot be convicted. I will look closely at the evidence and find any weaknesses in the government's case. If the police violated your rights when building a case against you, I will demand that the court suppress this evidence and dismiss your charges.

Personal injury case

"james Wilkie is at the top of his game and a premier personal injury Atterny. Not only does Mr. Wilkie offer a vast wealth of substantive knowledge and experience, I have found him to be extremely efficient and cost-effective. He works well with other counsel to achieve the best result for the clien...t and avoids the parochial behavior that can interfere with achieving the simplest and best solution for a business issue. I have know James for several years as a great friend and an amazing Atterny. I would highly recommend hiring him and his team for all personal injury issues!

Top Knotch

The best thing I ever did was hire James Wilkie as my attorney. I slipped and fell at a hotel I was staying at for a business conference last year, the hotel chain just didn't care or take me serious. James was my voice and he made sure I was taken care of from start to finish, he even gave me his ce...llphone number to call anytime.
