When I was given the Ken Morrow Lifetime Achievment Award by the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association in December 2011, Oregon Chief Justice Paul DeMuniz stated: "Simply put, few lawuers are blessed with the combination of intellectual power and analytical skills that are the hallmark of John Henry Hingson III."
My mother gave a plaque to me to hang on the wall in my office. It contains the words of one of America's finest criminal defense lawyers, Clarence Darrow. It reads: To be an effective criminal defense counsel, an attorney must be prepared to be demanding, outrageous, irreverent, blasphemous, a rogue, a renegade, and a hated, isolated and lonely person... Few love a spokesman for the despised and the damned." My mother understood and appreciated my calling.
Albert Krieger, counsel for John Gotti, said this about my boo How To Defend a Drunk Driving Case: I believe this book is incisive, intelligent, and instructive. It just simply has to be one of the best it its type. The research is meticulous, the suggestiions are creative, and on top of it all, it is eminently readable. As a practicing lawyer, I thank Clark Boardman for publishing a book which will make the practice easy for many of us."
Renowned Houston, Texas criminal defense lawyer Richard "Racehorse" Haynes wrote this about my book: "John Henry Hingson III brings his enthusiasm, scholarship and understanding of the offense, court, accused, and jury into sharp focus. This work should be a valuable and necessary part of the working troa; lawyer's working library."

There's John Henry Hingson III, and then there's everyone else fighting for 2nd place.

I heard stories about John Henry Hingson when I was in law school - and that was over 20 years ago...and only more seem to pour forth, usually from other attorneys and usually with a slight tone of awe. If you seriously need help - I mean REALLY need help - this is the guy to have in your corner. I'm glad I practice civil law and don't have to go up against him!

John Henry is a lion of the law. I was transfixed by his powerful opening statement in a Clackamas County DUII case I happened to walk in on. He authored a great book on Oregon DUII Defense. He is a supporter and instructor of other lawyers, and I heartily endorse him. I have learned much from watching him.

John Henry has the ability to illustrate an issue and engage an audience like no other. He makes it look easy but, in truth, it is the result of a tremendous work ethic and detailed preparation. His creative thinking and thorough understanding establish the benchmark for lawyers practicing criminal defense in Oregon.

Mr. Hingson is one of the most dedicated lawyers I have ever seen. He treats his clients and colleagues with respect and dignity. His involvement and dedication to his cases and the legal profession are unsurpassed. As a fellow lawyer who has spoken with Mr. Hingson on many occasions, I can only hope to be as knowledgable as him one day. Mr. Hingson is a true asset to the legal community, locally and nationally. I endorse this lawyer with true admiration.

Because of Mr Hingson's vast knowledge and experience, attorneys everywhere turn to Mr Hingson for assistance. Mr Hingson is always generous in sharing his knowlege with others. It has been a privilege to know Mr Hingson and to work at his side. I will not hesitate to refer matters to Mr Hingson. I know that any client will have a strong and capable advocate in Mr Hingson.
