Come meet John Henry Hingson III, son of a Baptist preacher, specialist in drunk driving defense, and past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
If you’ve ever wondered how a respectable human being can represent the rights of those who’ve committed the most heinous of crimes, listen to Mr. Hingson passionately share his reasons and motivations from his heart, soul, and mind. Why would anybody choose a profession so despicable, so distasteful, and—to some—so ungodly? Mr. Hingson will enthusiastically answer your most challenging of questions. You’ll hear how he perseveres through the darkest of times—and why this work is so purposeful and vital not only to him but to the lives of all Americans.
“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.” (Clarence Darrow)
