Our founder, Carole S. Gailor, started practicing family law litigation in Virginia in 1978 after graduation from law school. In 1986 she joined Womble, Carlyle, Sandridge and Rice in Raleigh as a litigation partner and practiced there until 1994, when she opened Gailor & Associates, PLLC (now known as Gailor, Wallis & Hunt). GWH has an extensive domestic relations litigation practice throughout North Carolina representing clients at all income levels.

In the area of divorce, we’re noted for our expertise in resolving complex business and financial issues for clients with substantial assets. Our experience allows us to successfully contest or defend complex business valuations at trial or resolve these issues in arbitrations either as an arbitrator or client representative.
