We have brought some of the most talented individuals and preeminent experts in their fields to the United States, many who have gone on to leave their legacy here. My father, Leon Wildes, the firm’s Founding Partner, is most well-known for his successful representation of former Beatle John Lennon and his artist wife Yoko Ono in their deportation hearing. We are excited that we were able to utilize local talent to help with this project and wish the students the very best of luck for the remainder of the semester” explained Managing Partner Michael Wildes.
