Even criminal lawyers have specialties. It would be useful to know something about the accusation(s). And as was posted in the other thread: > [@Please recommend lawyer! tx](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/please-recommend-lawyer-tx/720498/2): > > Try the Texas Bar Association.

Ft. Worth is a large city. There are probably several hundred criminal attorney’s there. Try searching Martindale: [Online Directory for Attorneys, Law Firms & Consumers | Martindale.com](http://www.martindale.com/Find-Lawyers-and-Law-Firms.aspx) You can narrow your search to specialties and even review peer review ratings. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Is Richard “Racehorse” Haynes still alive and practicing? He’s still alive, and I think someone like him will probably practice until the moment he dies. Met him once, colorful funny guy in person. Which shouldn’t be surprising, I guess. OP, we need a bit more info. What’s the charge? State charges? Federal? Something specific, like DUI, financial fraud, tax fraud? Who’d your bail bondsman recommend? If I knew anyone in Tarrant county, I’d IM you, but I don’t. Good luck. ---
