Richard "Racehorse" Haynes: Why I didn't win every trial.
I would have won them all if my clients hadn’t kept reloading and firing.
--Richard "Racehorse" Haynes, in March 2009 ABA Journal article by Mark Curriden.
War hero, trial legend, worker and wit, Houston-based Richard Racehorse Haynes just turned 87. He is still defending clients. And over the years he has built a 13-office international firm on three continents. I get to Texas from time to time. A Houston friend offered to introduce me to Haynes--and I may take him up on that. I could see pitching Haynes on a couple of subjects. Although I still love what I'm doing, I would gladly leave my own firm for 18 months, inform my to-die-for gorgeous and brilliant LA girlfriend I chased for months that I "need some space" and sell my mom in Cincinnati to the Chechens if I could (a) open up Haynes and Boone's London office or (b) write the definitive biography of one Richard Racehorse Haynes.
Hey. Anyone listening?
