Famed Houston Lawyer Mike Ramsey Dies: Represented High-Profile Clients
Mike Ramsey, the Houston criminal defense lawyers who represented high-profile clients such as Ken Lay in the Enron scandal and Robert Durst on a murder charge, died Saturday evening.
The Houston Chronicle reports that Ramsey died at the age of 79, after suffering from failing health.
The Chronicle‘s John Tedesco quotes former U.S. Attorney Ron Woods, who later became a defense lawyer: “He’s the best cross examiner I ever saw. He was so smart, and so personable. His job was to destroy the credibility of the state’s witnesses. He could do it with charm. But he was always very devastating.”
