You can trust him

As a lawyer myself, I am picky about who I trust with legal matters. Mr. Wilkerson is professional, personable, a real straight shooter who knows his stuff. Marcus has worked with our family on a number of legal matters from real estate and employment contracts to wills/trusts. I trust him wit...h my family's future and you can too.

Execellent Attorney

Mr. Wilkerson was willing to listen every time I called him. Every question I had for him was answered with detail and knowledge. He was professional as well as sympathetic to my case. I always understood where my case was headed, was well informed on the possible outcomes, and always felt as if I ...was taken seriously. I recommend Mr. Wilkerson to anyone that needs help with a family custody issue.

Marcus Handled my Estate and my Power of attorney

I came to Marcus about 9 months ago to set up my Last Will and Testament also, To Name the executor Over my Estate, as well as my my Power of Attorney's. Which include Medical, and Power Of Attorney of my persons. Marcus is VERY well skilled in how to handle high profile clients and very well known ...socialites such as myself. He had the whole thing done with in a weeks time. And charges a very fair amount in the services in which he provides. With each client he takes on there legal matters with the up most respect and dignity, making sure each client is extremely satisfied with the work he does for them. He's a rising star in the field of law. I definitely recommend him for any legal advice and action you may need.

Excellent Legal Representation

Attorney Wilkerson is a consummate professional who is tremendously knowledgeable in the full spectrum of legal practice. He prides himself on details that win cases. His thoroughness as a lawyer always allows me to rest easy knowing that I am always in good hands legally. Having been my attorney fo...r a number of years, Mr. Wilkerson has had occasion to represent me in several legal matters of significantly varying scopes, yet his studiousness and experience as legal counsel always find him equipped to provide outstanding representation. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
