About Levi
Levi Wilkes earned his J.D. from St. Thomas University School of Law. He arrived in practice after a law school stint that included hands-on courtroom exposure. That early experience shaped a practical approach to legal problems and an appetite for work that crosses practice areas.
His first credited legal role was as a certified legal intern at the Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office in 2014. He moved into clerkships and early litigation support the next year, serving as a law clerk at Majid Vossoughi, P.A., and working in the bankruptcy department of Robertson, Anschutz & Schneid, P.L. Those positions gave him experience in courtroom procedure, case management, and the procedural side of bankruptcy work.
In 2016 he operated under his own firm name, Levi Lawrence Wilkes, Lawyer at Law, PLLC, listed as managing member. That period on his own roster preceded a turn into in-house practice. He served as general counsel for Niznik Behavioral Health in 2019, where he handled day-to-day legal matters for a healthcare organization. The shift to an in-house role broadened his work to include contract review, regulatory compliance, and advising operational leaders.
Wilkes returned to private practice and to litigation-focused roles in subsequent years. He joined Kanner & Pintaluga as an associate in 2020 and rose to partner in 2022. At Kanner & Pintaluga he has taken on responsibilities typical of a senior lawyer: leading files, mentoring junior colleagues, and managing client relationships. His resume reflects work across bankruptcy, in-house corporate counsel duties, and court-side litigation roles.
Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and careful with the details of transactional work. His background spans public defense internship experience, boutique clerkships, regional bankruptcy practice, solo practice management, corporate counsel duties, and partnership at an established Florida firm. That variety informs how he approaches cases and client counseling.
He is admitted to practice in Florida and maintains an active presence in the state legal market. He keeps a practice that draws on experience in bankruptcy matters, corporate and regulatory issues from his time as general counsel, and civil litigation practice at his current firm. His current practice focuses on litigation and client representation in Florida.
