About William
Biography
My name is Marcus Wilkerson and I was born and raised right here in Texas. Although my family moved quite a bit, as my father was a carpenter with Brown & Root, I consider Orange, Texas my hometown. I have always had a passion for helping and empowering people. Prior to going to law school, I graduated from Lamar University Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. It was then that I decided I could best empower people and fight for justice by becomming an attorney. I attended law school in Houston at South Texas College of Law and graduated Cum Laude in December, 2010. No matter what your legal issue, I can give you my full assurance that I will fight for your rights and interests and will always be open and honest in evaluating your case. Remember, a consultation is free. Choosing the right attorney is not a decision to be taken lightly. If you have a legal concern, I encourage you to come speak with me incurring no further obligation unless we mutually agree that I should handle your case. I look forward to serving you!
