Initial Consultation

Mr. Wilson provided a virtual consult to discuss the viability of a potential EEOC case with a large, national healthcare organization. The entire process was thoughtful, thorough, and welcoming. His knowledge and guidance provided insights to ensure appropriate next steps. I would highly recommend M...r. Wilson.

Got my Job back !!

Gary was phenomenal and assisted me with regaining employment at my police department.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I highly recommend Gary as an attorney and an advocate for labor and employment matters in both the private and public sectors. Gary is one of the most caring and good-hearted attorneys in the field. Although he is kind, generous, and compassionate with his clients, Gary is never afraid to fight for these same clients in court, arbitration, mediation, or during a negotiation. This one-two punch of kindness and tenacity is what has helped Gary amass a number of external accolades as well as my personal and professional respect."

Employment and labor lawyer | Jan 12

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Gary is an award-winning attorney, but those awards pale in comparison to the man himself. Gary's consistent ability to display compassion to his clients and professionalism toward his peers during contentious litigation commands respect from all. Gary has been and continues to be one of the last known "true gentlemen" of the legal profession. I am proud to work with him and know his clients feel similarly."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
