Meet the Lawyers in the John Wiley Price Case – Updated

Lawyers involved in Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price’s case will certainly be off the ground running after today’s arrest.

Price’s lawyer is Billy Ravkind, who made his name in the 1980s representing drug defendants before taking on white-collar criminal cases. One of his well-known white-collar matters is when he defended Spencer Blaine in the infamous I-30 scandal in the 80s and 90s, the largest Savings & Loan fraud case in Texas, which resulted in the conviction of Danny Faulkner. In the same timeframe, Ravkind also represented Don Dixon, who was behind the Vernon Savings & Loan crisis. Ravkind is a graduate of SMU’s Dedman School of Law.
