Literally from the sticks (he grew up working cane fields in Florida), Gary is today known as “The Giant Killer” for slaying Fortune 500 companies in court. Gary was one of the first blacks in his migrant community to attend college—Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina on a football scholarship. His ambitions still roaring, he earned his law degree from North Carolina Central University (Ranked in the 4th Tier by US News & World Report). Since then he has won over 150 multi-million dollar suits (one for $500 million) and been named by Forbes Magazine as one of the top 50 attorneys in the United States. In a recent Motorola case, Gary requested fees of $22,000 an hour. Big Willie puts his money to good use. He owns a Boeing 737, replete with an 18-carat gold bathroom sink. 

Don’t hate too much, Attorney Gary doesn’t mind sharing the wealth. A philanthropist (his son Kenneth heads The Gary Foundation), he has given millions to HBCU’s and African American causes. Lawyers appreciate him for his annual “tear the roof off the motha” party during the National Bar Association Convention.

Married to his high school sweetheart, Gary does seem to have a bit of a roving eye. Last a messy child support hearing revealed that he was paying $28,000 a month in child support payments to a former lover we’ll refer to as Dirty Diana.He is currently in the throes of a lawsuit against a woman he alleges falsely accused him of rape after consensual sex. To help prove his innocence (or at least establish that the woman is a ho), Gary turned over DVD’s showing the woman having sex with Gary’s son! WPBF  Girlfriend had better watch out because Gary has a good lawyer. TCPalm
