Big Chris the Commenter went to trial yesterday for his presence in the Aces bust in Dallas (June 2006), and he\’s requesting an attorney recommendation.
I\’ve gone ahead and passed on the name and number of Brady Wyatt, in Dallas, mostly because my fellow high school alum is the one accomplished poker attorney — president-elect of the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and undefeated in the Jackie\’s cases he represented — who\’s contact info I had handy. (Brady also played a little nickle-dime-quarter mixed games with me back in the late \’80s/early \’90s.)
I know there are others though, some with even much more experience handling poker cases in Dallas and elsewhere around the country. I figure we might as well start compiling a list … so if you have any poker attorneys to recommend, or if you are one actively taking on poker cases, please let us know here.
UPDATE: The PPA has a litigation support network for its members.
Lee Rousso has handled some of the bigger poker cases out there, most recently online issues in Washington state. We\’ll add him to the list.
