John

Wilkerson

Woodworker

John Wilkerson is a senior lawyer and mediator with the law firm of Turner, Padget, Graham and Laney in Charleston. He has devoted his professional career, spanning over 43 years, to the trial and mediation of civil cases in state and federal court. John took up woodworking as a hobby about 25 years ago and it has developed into a passion that provides balance to the adversarial nature of his professional life. He enjoys having this creative outlet, building custom furniture pieces for family and friends, which he hopes will extend well into his eventual retirement from the practice of law.
