I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
Persons entering the office of Attorney D. Hershel Wilson in Banning see the words "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
This Bible verse is on a large, carefully lettered sign behind the reception desk. When asked, Hershel Wilson tells visitors, "I kept my Bible opened to this page while I prepared to take the California Bar Exam in 1981. These words help guide my life and my law practice".
Hershel Wilson received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Religion from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas in 1971. Two years later, he earned his Master of Arts degree in Pastoral Counseling from Harding University Graduate School of Religion in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1974 he received a Master of Science degree in Counseling and Psychology from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas.

When he was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1981, they formed the law firm of McClellan and Wilson. After Ruth McClellan died in 1987, Hershel Wilson chose to honor her memory by not changing the name of the law firm. Her picture is in the reception area.
