About John
Biography
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."
