Famed and internationally recognized trial attorney, Willie Gary and
his team of trial lawyers have been retained by four of the eight original
named plaintiffs in the multimillion dollar lawsuit against the Coco-Cola
Company.
"The allegations of discrimination and bias of astounding proportions
and are among the most severe ever seen in corporate America." Gary said.
"My clients have suffered grave injustices just for being hardworking,
diligent and good citizens who happen to be African-American. It's just
not right and Coca-Cola is going to answer to the people of this community."
One of the original plaintiffs, Gregory Allen Clark, has now hired Gary.
"We felt the need to have at least one African-American lawyer on the team
that's representing approximately 2000 African American workers," Clark
said.
Gary is most noted for his half billion dollar verdict in Jackson, Mississippi
against the Lowen Group, a Canadian funeral home chain. It was one of the
largest verdicts in the nation's history on behalf of an individual plaintiff.
