SAN DIEGO (February 15, 2018) – Wilson Turner Kosmo LLP partner Vickie Turner was recently named a San
Diego “Wonder Woman” by The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary of San Diego County for her dedicated
service to the local community. She will be honored alongside 11 other prominent San Diegans at the

Her influence extends beyond the courtroom and into the San Diego legal and education communities where
she works tirelessly as a volunteer, mentor and professor. Turner has been honored as Lawyer of the Year by
Best Lawyers, Woman of the Year by the 79th California State Assembly District and one of San Diego’s top
five product liability defense attorneys by San Diego Super Lawyers. Turner is a recipient of University of San
Diego’s Distinguished Alumni Award and Author E. Hughes Lifetime Achievement Award. She has also been
named a local hero by United Bank and KPBS.

Among the many professional organizations she is involved with, Turner serves on – or has served on – the
executive boards of the Earl B. Gilliam Bar Association, Lawyers Club of San Diego, National Bar Association,
Pathways 2 College, San Diego County Bar Association, San Diego Chapter of Links Inc., San Diego Volunteer
