Wilkie thinks that
creativity is an under-appreciated and under-utilized aspect of
practicing law. Although the law at times appears
clear-cut-and-dried, there is still plenty of room for creative
thinking. Creativity comes into play, for example, when it comes to
presenting a set of facts in a certain light in order to persuade a
judge or jury, or to negotiate a favorable contract or settlement
for a client.
In his over thirty years
of practice, Wilkie has applied the lessons in creativity gleaned
from handling almost a thousand cases involving disputes concerning
real estate, contracts, insurance coverage and legal malpractice. He
has taken approximately 100 of those cases to trial before a judge
or jury.
He is a member of the
Consumer Attorneys of California, Consumer Attorneys Association of
Los Angeles, the Southern California Chapter Chinese American
Lawyers Association and the Cowboy Lawyers Association.
He is admitted to
practice before all the California courts, the United States
District Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United
States Supreme Court.
Wilkie is well versed on
legal disputes involving real estate. He has handled real estate
disputes from inception all the way to the United States Supreme
Court. He is a licensed real estate broker and has written and
lectured on issues involving real estate litigation.
Wilkie graduated cum
laude from UCLA, and obtained his law degree from Loyola University
School of Law, graduating with honors and selected for membership
into the Sir Thomas More Honor Society.
Wilkie has served on
Advisory Board and Building Committee of Los Angeles Branch of
the American Heart Association and as legal advisor to the Multiple
Sclerosis Society, Southern California Chapter.
He has a confirmed
weakness for sports cars, especially those manufactured in Italy and
enjoys skiing, horseback riding, bicycling and scuba diving.
