Mario B. Williams isn’t afraid to speak truth to power.
From suing the Trump administration four times to securing adequate medical care for prison inmates to winning a seven-figure settlement for the family of a young man killed by police, Williams has taken on a number of high-profile cases.
And, while he has won millions for his clients over the years, his reputation as a leading human-rights attorney is more about respecting people’s rights, not remuneration.
“I never really focused on it because the money comes as a result of the process,” said Williams. “If you come to me for a police shooting or a constitutional rights case, you’re going to get not only a lawyer who understands what’s going on, you’re going to get an advocate. I take a lot of cases that have nothing to do with money. We do things for people, regardless of the setting, who have had their rights violated.”
