Greg Wilkowski is the trial lawyer that other lawyers call when the case has to be won — not just billed.

Greg cut his teeth at Winston & Strawn LLP, one of the country’s preeminent international law firms, where he worked alongside senior partners on some of the largest cases in the United States. He left BigLaw to do what BigLaw cannot: take on the matters that closely held businesses, individual investors, and consumers actually face — class actions, arbitrations, antitrust claims, breach of contract, fraud, tortious interference, and other complex business torts — and litigate them like a Fortune 500 file.

A graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, Greg was awarded the Craig Spangenberg Award for exceptional ability in oral advocacy — a rare distinction that sets the tone for how he handles every case. He combines that courtroom firepower with a willingness to take strong investor and consumer claims on contingency, so leverage is on the client’s side from day one.

Greg also serves as Of Counsel to Burhanuddin Law and as Illinois local counsel to out-of-state firms litigating in Chicago and the Northern District of Illinois. Referral partners use him because he understands BigLaw expectations, communicates like a partner, and tries cases without flinching.

If you are a small or mid-sized business squaring off against a much larger opponent, an investor whose money was lost or mismanaged, a consumer who was wronged, or an attorney looking for serious Illinois trial counsel — Greg is built for the fight.
