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!

I firmly believe that the best lawyers are those that maintain open lines of communicaiton with their clients.  Whether it is a criminal case or personal injury lawsuit, most clients have little experience in the court system.  An attorney who takes the time to explain what is happening, both good and bad, is a must.  I make myself available by phone, email, or in person.
