Rex Barron Abernathy

Hired him through his associates. It was and still is an act of congress to get him or anyone to return calls, texts, emails. I had to do the majority of the work. Never until the last day did he even have contact with the defendant. Was going to sell him out until I went off. Said he made a deal. ...Well he nor the others didn’t have the authority to promise what he told. It was a lie I can prove it. He even filled out the questionnaire for the defendant so he could hurry and leave. The defendant was not aware of this nor I. The defendant has TBI issues. He really didn’t understand it all. But agreed per the attorney. The attorney never sought other options even after I told him to. Afterwards he said he always keeps up with his clients after the fact. WRONG! There is so much more I could say but I’m wore out right now because I’M fighting for the person that was lied to and done wrong. MR. REX is ALL ABOUT THAT MONEY. I’ve learned my lesson with him.

Rex Abernathy does not communicate at all! My brother hired Rex Abernathy to defend him because he was told by many people that he was the best defense attorney in the state, I have no idea how he achieved this reputation. My brother and his fiance paid Mr. Abernathy $8,000.00 and expected to have a...ctual meetings and at the very least phone communication with the man but instead he left him in the jail for 4 months with no meeting until the day before the court date and then talked him into taking a deal assuring him that if he took a two year deal that he would be out in 3 or 4 months at the most rather than pushing for going to drug rehab which is where he should be to start with. My brother got hooked on drugs and is not a hardened criminal, while he did need to pay for breaking the law it should have been in a rehab program not incarceration. Mr. Abernathy hasn't done one thing to stand up for his client now that he knows the prison is ignoring the judges orders to count the 6 months from intinital time of arrest plus the 4 months he sat in jail waiting on his court date (so much for a speedy trial) as time served towards his 2 year term which would allow him to get out sooner and get help sooner to avoid being drawn back into the situation . Mr. Abernathy also assured my brother would go to a medical prison because he is terminally ill but of course that didn't happen either. I'd like to know what he did to earn his money. He won't return calls or text messages and never shows up, texts or calls back when his staff says he will. If you want good representation please go elsewhwere!!!! Save yourself the hardship!!!!!!!

Rex Abernathy is the best Defense Attorney in the state of Georgia. My family has hired him on Criminal charges and also on personal injury claims. Mr. Abernathy is very knowledgeable of the law and is highly respected, not only by other Lawyers, Judges, and clients but by Law Enforcement as wel...l. My family has witnessed this all first hand, and we were very lucky to have been able to be represented by Mr. Abernathy. We were pleased with Mr. Abernathy knowledge of the law and how we were kept informed as to what was taking place with our case. I would highly recommend Rex Abernathy and I do so when someone asks if I know a good attorney. Again, He is the best Defense Attorney in the state.!!!! He has won hundreds of cases!!!

I payed this lawyer $15,000 for a criminal case. He never returned phone calls, never let us know what was going on in the case, never let us know of any evidence he may or may not have had, never brought us in to explain anything stating,"he didn't want to get personally involved." Advised us to not... accept a plea bargain with no jail time and ended up not going to trial and receiving a plea bargain with 20 years serve 5. After he received his $15,000, he acted as though he could care less about his client. As far as I know he never even listened to the interrogation tape until the morning of the trial which was to late then to try to defend it. From the time we hired him until the case went to trial (which it never really made it to trial) was 1 year and 4 months during which time he did nothing. Not anything he ever let us know, we were told that he could "blow holes" in the case and had nothing to worry about. All he cared about was getting the money and cared less about his client.
