Mike Ramsey is a man of simple tastes. He prefers black cowboy boots to lace-ups with his business suits. He works slowly and methodically, both in his physical movements and his questioning in court. Some casual observers would think maybe the 65-year-old is a little senile. Far from it. Ramsey has a sharp mind and a long memory. He's now working on the biggest case in his life: Defending former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay. So far, attorneys think he's doing a good job.

For Mike Ramsey, justice is personal.
When he was a young attorney fresh out of law school at Southern Methodist University, Ramsey represented his father, V.V. “Red” Ramsey, a Harris County commissioner, when he was accused of taking kickbacks from the company that supplied the county’s voting machines. Ramsey lost the case, and his father went to prison for a year in the mid-1970s.
