He has successfully litigated numerous precedent-setting cases for the benefit of his clients in the Court of Appeal and California Supreme Court. Mr. Wishek is an adjunct professor of law in the trial practice program at the University of California at Davis School of Law, and frequently serves as a presenter on a variety of legal topics in the areas of criminal defense and trial practice. Mr. Wishek serves on the Board of Directors for a local drug and alcohol treatment program which serves the homeless community in Sacramento. Professional Experience/Clients Licensed Professionals Mr. Wishek’s clients are often professionals facing a criminal allegation or professional licensing allegation, or both.

Cities, Counties and the State of California have engaged Mr. Wishek as his client or on behalf of public employees and officer.

Chemical Dependency and Mental Health Issues Many clients facing a criminal allegation or professional discipline have longstanding issues of chemical dependency or mental health. For these clients, whether facing the loss of their professional license or a criminal allegation from vehicular manslaughter to burglary, referral to the right professional for an evaluation and treatment recommendation may be the most important decision in their case. If the government has a strong case, presentation of evidence confirming a chemical dependency and/or mental health diagnosis together with evidence of successful treatment and a favorable prognosis for continued success can mean probation instead of prison, diversion from criminal proceedings instead of a conviction, or probation or diversion instead of the revocation or suspension of a professional license. Countless clients, sometimes after years of denial or failed treatment efforts, have succeeded when presented the opportunity to work with the right professionals for evaluation and treatment of these medical conditions.
