About Wilkes & Associates

Wilkes & McHugh is your personal injury and civil litigation law firm. Our experienced attorneys tackle major cases with proven results.

Wilkes & Associates is your personal injury and civil litigation law firm. Our experienced attorneys tackle major cases with proven results. We have represented more than 10,000 clients from all 50 states. Our attorneys are licensed to practice in much of the U.S.

Since 1985, we have recovered in excess of $3 billion for our clients. We've won nearly 100 jury trials, and have had more than 3,000 successful out-of-court settlements since 2010 alone.

We can handle a broad spectrum of claims thanks to our team of seasoned and versatile lawyers with diverse legal backgrounds. These include former prosecutors, public defenders, criminal defense attorneys, corporate law attorneys, and public sector attorneys who bring their skill and acumen to every aspect of your case.

Our firm founders were among the only attorneys willing to fight for neglected and abused elderly victims at a time when most law firms saw no value in nursing home cases. Passionate about protecting society’s most vulnerable members, Wilkes & Associates has spent the last 35 years in pursuit of justice and improved care through litigation and legislation. We bring that same fervor to all of our practice areas and have the courage to strike out into uncharted legal territories.

Because cases cost hundreds of thousands of dollars – or, in some cases, millions – to try before a jury, many law firms are hindered when taking on giant corporations. Wilkes & Associates is an established firm with the financial resources and wherewithal to take on corporations of any size.

Too often lawyers are quick to settle because they don’t have the time or know-how to present your case before a jury. A firm that is willing and able to represent you at the courthouse can be your most effective assurance of justice. We see clients’ cases all the way through, even if it means going to court, and we have a track record of substantial courtroom verdicts and successful appeals.

Staff was very professional and compassionate from the very beginning. I always get called back timely and questions answered to my numerous questions so that I can understand what is happening. I'm never made to feel like I'm a bother or my questions are silly. I trust this firm completely.

EXCELLENT FIRM...Investigating, tracking down witnesses, research. Top Notch firm if you are looking for justice for your love one or family member. Resolved without going to court because they are that good and defendants did not want this case in court by the time they got done with them.

Did not disclose all of my moms bills that were owed before settling lawsuit. I feel we should have been informed of everything that was owed out before settling this lawsuit.

Do not hire this law firm, they screwed me good, i am 70 years old an disabled and a nursing home killed my Wife, it took 5 years to settle and this gave the company time to go bankrupt, $100,000 was settle i got $30,000. they took more money from me out of the Medicare, $5000, and the payed 1,700 to a lawyer as a referral, this money should have come from Wilkes not me. I can not recommend this firm, and they still owe me $6,700 dollars.

Wilkes & Associates has a paralegal who works for them named Charles W Phillips. He spends his time online harassing the LGBTQIA+ community and disabled people. There are many screenshots available of his behavior and it wasn’t hard to find his employer. That is concerning for potential clients, especially those in vulnerable situations to know your paralegal behaves this way for all to see and as a representation of the firm.

Not trustworthy. They will take your case, then take most of your settlement. Plenty of other Attorneys that are reliable in the Tampa area. Would not recommend.

This law firm does not exercise integrity. They are a bunch of "ambulance chasers" who are trying to take advantage of the elderly and vulnerable population. Their unethical practice is comprise of soliciting fake accounts to comment on their ad on Facebook. Never believe a thief and liars as they never have your best interest in mind.
