Trial Attorney Willie Gary and Team Filed Suit Against Skytel Communications,
Inc. for $100 Million

Skytel Communications, Inc. Comes Under Fire after Unlawfully Releasing Text
Messages of Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick

STUART, Fla., March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Trial attorneys, Willie E. Gary,
Jackson, Mississippi-based Hal Dockins, Detroit-based James Thomas and their
law firms filed a $100 million lawsuit (case # 252 -CI-2009-13) against Skytel
Communications, Inc. for violating former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's
privacy and constitutional rights.  

Gary and team cite that Skytel violated various state and federal statutes
including the Stored Communications Act by unlawfully releasing the text
messages in connection with litigation from the 2003 time period. 

"Everyone is entitled to privacy as given to us by the U.S. Constitution and
other laws that govern this great nation," said Gary.  "My client's
constitutional rights have been violated in the worst of ways, and we are
merely seeking justice.  We aren't asking for any favoritism, we just want
justice," Gary continued.

Gary is no stranger to seeking justice. He is noted for winning a $240 million
jury verdict in Orange County against the Walt Disney Corporation for his
clients who alleged Disney stole their idea for a sports theme park.  In 2001,
a jury awarded Gary a $139.6 million verdict for the Maris Distributing
Company against Anheuser Busch.  In addition, Gary and Dockins won a
record-breaking half-billion dollar verdict in Jackson, Mississippi against
the Loewen Group, a large Canadian funeral home chain.
