Williams entered the world of professional sports as a lawyer for Washington Redskins founding owner George Preston Marshall in the late 1950s.

Nevertheless, some of Mr. Williams's critics, deploring what they called his ''hired gun'' approach to accepting clients of wealth, pointed to at least one important case in which he was most careful to select a jury that was composed of eight blacks and four whites. That was the 1957 bribery case of Mr. Hoffa.
Williams maintained that he could not represent Mr. Hoffa personally in his protracted legal troubles because he was counsel to the union membership, but not individual union leaders. Picked Out by a Big Law Firm.
