Richard Hinds – Criminal Defense Attorney Victoria TX & Licensed Private Investigator serving surrounding areas

I’m Richard Hinds. I’m not your average lawyer — and that’s exactly why people hire me. I’m a well-educated, highly trained attorney with over 27 years of criminal defense experience serving Victoria, Cuero, and surrounding Texas counties.

I’m a Texas criminal defense attorney and a licensed private investigator. Out of more than 110,000 attorneys in Texas, fewer than 20 hold both licenses. I also own a licensed financial investigation firm. To my knowledge, I’m the only dual-licensed JD/PI within 200 miles of Victoria — covering Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, and everywhere in between.

Most lawyers have never conducted a real criminal investigation or torn apart forensic evidence. I do it routinely. My team includes a licensed private investigator and former law enforcement officer, and I never charge extra for his involvement in your case.

I was raised on a ranch in East Texas, worked as a Teamster, and competed as a Golden Gloves boxer. I know how to fight — and no one intimidates me in or out of the courtroom. I earned my law degree in just 27 months from Baylor Law School, chosen for its elite, battle-tested trial advocacy program.

When you’re facing serious charges — whether it’s a DWI/DUI, drug offense, assault, or first-degree felony — you need someone who fights like your freedom depends on it. That’s me. I fight like my life is on the line.

All attorneys are not created equal. I encourage you to meet with other lawyers first — because once you meet me, you’ll stop looking. No other criminal defense attorney in the Victoria area offers this same combination of dual licensure, hands-on investigation, elite trial training, and dedicated investigators.

I never forget what’s at stake. My clients put their lives in my hands, and I take that seriously. The thought of losing makes me sick.
