Lead Counsel
Kerrick T. Wilkins
J.D., George Washington University Law School
Kerrick T. Wilkins is one of fewer than eight legal professionals in the United States with direct forensic experience in the Bernard L. Madoff securities fraud recovery — the largest Ponzi scheme in American history, with over $17 billion in investor losses.
As Senior Securities Litigation Paralegal at BakerHostetler, LLP — the firm appointed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court as lead counsel for the SIPC trustee — Mr. Wilkins conducted forensic analysis of Madoff account records, drafted complaints and subpoenas to recoup ill-gotten gains, and helped build the legal framework that recovered billions for defrauded investors.
That same forensic discipline — reconstructing transaction histories, identifying systematic overpayments, and building airtight documentary records — is exactly what drives successful CBP protest filings, duty drawback claims, and HTS reclassification actions.
