Trey Wilkerson, of Jamestown, Kentucky, has been working at David Cross’ Law Office for a little more than two years now as a law student.

“Albany is like a second home to me,” Wilkerson said. “I’m from a small town, so this atmosphere is what I’m used to.”

Recently, Wilkerson passed the bar exam and is now a lawyer working in Cross’ office. Wilkerson, along with his wife Jordan and daughter Jade are all excited about this new chapter in their lives.

Wilkerson was sworn in by a Supreme Court Justice Lambert on Monday and is now ready to “hit the ground running.”

Cross said he is excited to have the opportunity to work with Wilkerson in the future.
