Wylie's family ties to the St. Louis legal community trace back to 1866 when his great-great-grandfather, Isaac Stephen Coe, began practicing as a trial lawyer in the old courthouse in downtown St. Louis.
Before joining the Onder Law Firm, Wylie was a partner at a large law firm in the City of St. Louis specializing in product liability work. He was primarily involved in cases wherein in excess of eight figures in damages were at issue. At the Onder Law Firm, Wylie focuses his practice on a wide variety of product liability claims involving wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and mass tort.
Wylie earned his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Illinois in 2002. He graduated magna cum laude, ranking 5th in his class, from Southern Illinois University School of Law in 2005. Wylie is admitted to practice law in Missouri, Illinois, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.
He is a member of the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, the St. Louis Lawyers Association, and the American Bar Association. In addition to doing personal injury work, Wylie advocates for the developmentally disabled.
