MANAGING PARTNER MICHAEL WILDES APPEARS ON INSIDE EDITION TO DISCUSS HIS CLIENT, IRISH SINGER-SONGWRITER SINEAD O’CONNOR, AUGUST 2017.

Recently, Sinead O’Connor took to social media to alert the masses to her medical condition in the hopes that this revelation would benefit others. In response to this, major media outlets are covering her news and she has been receiving an outpouring of support world wide. 

According to Michael Wildes, “I spoke to Sinead. She wanted me to clarify with the media that she has been diagnosed with complex post traumatic stress disorder. Thankfully she is getting the professional support and love she needs. I am proud how she articulated what many know about mental illness being under treated and over stigmatized”.
