What Wilke Fleury does

Wilke Fleury LLP is a Sacramento, California-based law firm organized as a California limited liability partnership, founded in January 1922 as Henry & Bedeau and operating continuously for over a century. The firm operates from its headquarters at 621 Capitol Mall, Suite 900 and ranks among the ten largest law firms in the Sacramento region. Wilke Fleury practices as a platform of specialized legal service lines rather than a single product, with core offerings spanning Healthcare Law, Business Litigation, Bankruptcy/Restructuring/Receiverships, Estates/Trusts/Probate & Wealth Planning, Business Entities & Transactions, Tax Services, Employment Litigation, Professional Liability Defense, Personal Injury, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Insurance Coverage Disputes, and Accountants' Liability. A differentiator is direct attorney involvement in drafting and revising California's Knox-Keene Act, which underpins a dedicated healthcare law practice serving licensed health care service plans, health insurers, professional associations, pharmaceutical companies, and medical equipment providers.

The firm targets four principal customer segments: (1) Healthcare providers and plans (regulatory compliance, Knox-Keene matters, HIPAA, billing disputes, False Claims Act defense), (2) Employers (employment litigation defense, ADA, FMLA/CFRA, discrimination, wage and hour), (3) Businesses and Organizations (complex business litigation, construction defect, contract disputes, professional liability), and (4) Individuals and Families (estate planning, trust administration, wealth transfer). Notable case outcomes include a $52.35 million award in a Sacramento railroad station transaction, a $12.6 million jury verdict against CCPOA, a $6 million recovery for a manufacturing client, and a $4 million judgment against the United States.

The revenue model is classic professional services billing: hourly rates for litigation and transactional work, fixed fees for specific matters, and contingency arrangements where applicable. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Client invoices can be paid online through Surepoint Pay via ACH, credit card (3.3% convenience fee), or e-check (0.75% convenience fee). Go-to-market relies on attorney credentials, referrals, professional networking, and community involvement. Marketing channels include a content-heavy blog archive dating back to 1993, an email newsletter via Constant Contact (Wilke Fleury Insights), active LinkedIn and Instagram accounts, attorney publications and conference presentations, and membership in the Primerus international law firm network. The firm has no external parent company, no private equity backing, and is owned and managed by its partners.
