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.
