Lawyer & Law Firm Network News
Attorney Willie E. Gary is living the American Dream. Once a migrant worker, now a multi-millionaire attorney, Gary earned his reputation by representing little-known clients against major corporations.
Along the way he has handled some of the largest jury awards and settlements in U.S. history, winning more than 150 cases valued in excess of $1 million each.
Gary's amazing success has earned him national recognition as a leading trial attorney.
In May 2002, he was featured in Ebony magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential Black Americans." Forbes Magazine has listed him as one of the "Top 50 attorneys in the U.S."
Gary has been featured in national media publications, such as The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, Ebony, Jet, People, Black Enterprise, Fortune, The New Yorker and The National Law Journal.
His remarkable legal career and tireless work on behalf of his clients has been well documented on "60 Minutes," "CBS Evening News," and ABC's "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings."
He has also been profiled on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," made a guest appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," and made a live appearance on CBS's "The Early Show" with Bryant Gumbel.
His vast appeal stems from his desire to be the best and a passionate work ethic he learned through his humble beginnings.
Gary is a member of the National Bar Association, the American Bar Association, American Trial Lawyers Association, Florida Academy of Trial Lawyers Association, Martin and St. Lucie County Bar Associations and the Million Dollar Verdict Club.
He is chairman of the Black Family Channel - the nation's only African-American owned and operated 24-hour cable channel devoted to wholesome "family values" programming aimed at urban viewers.
