"In terms of trying and winning cases that didn’t look very winnable, Romines doesn’t have a peer," said Shannon Ragland, editor of Kentucky Trial Court Review.
Adversaries say Romines is charismatic and tenacious.
"A lot of lawyers who have a lot of charisma rely solely on that, and a lot of lawyers without charisma try to compensate for that by preparing to death," said former prosecutor Brian Butler, who dueled with Romines in the Barnes case. "The thing that makes Steve so tough is that he does both."
