Just weeks after announcing he was stepping down as the top prosecutor for Greenville and Pickens counties, Walt Wilkins has joined forces with two respected Upstate attorneys to launch a new law firm.
Wilkins Davis represents clients across the country in complex civil, criminal, and constitutional cases.
The firm is Led by William W. “Billy” Wilkins, former chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, former United States District Judge, and former chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission; Walt Wilkins, former assistant United States Attorney, former United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina, and longtime 13th Circuit Solicitor; and Lane Davis, a seasoned litigator with decades of experience in high-stakes commercial litigation and appellate cases.
The firm will focus on:
* Complex Civil Litigation: Representing clients in high-stakes business disputes, class actions, and catastrophic injury cases.
* Criminal Law: Defense against serious state and federal charges, including drug offenses, cybercrime, tax evasion, and white-collar crimes.
* Corporate Compliance & Internal Investigations: Helping businesses navigate internal fraud, theft, or government scrutiny with strategic, discreet legal guidance.
* Victim Representation: Pursuing justice for those harmed by violence, abuse, or negligence—including sexual abuse, DUI injury, and trafficking.
* Federal Government Investigations: Public corruption, whistleblower claims, regulatory enforcement, and Title IX matters.
* Forfeiture Defense: Protecting money and property seized during criminal investigations and government enforcement actions.
Walt Wilkins and Davis worked at the same law firm (Leatherwood, Walker, Todd & Mann) for five years in the early 2000s.
Meanwhile, after his long career in the judiciary, Billy Wilkins worked for Maynard Nexsen before starting his own boutique firm in 2024.
“This is an exciting new venture for the three of us,” said Billy Wilkins. “We are ready for everything.”
