Liar,Liar

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.

Wrongful convictions

This guy’s name has turned up on numerous crime shows where his clients were wrongfully convicted. At least 3 different cases I’ve heard so far where his clients were imprisoned and released years later after groups like the innocence project became involved.

Pathetic

By far the worst excuse for a criminal defense attorney I have ever experienced. He will take your money and run like the other reviews say. I should have done my homework. And when it’s time to close the case he will strike a loo sided deal with the prosecutors to benefit him and not allow you to sp...eak. And if you so step up like I did he will throw a tantrum and say if you don’t take the deal I will step down as your attorney. He works for the state while robbing his clients.

VERY POOR AT COMMUNICATION

He will take ya money an run all while convincing u other wise . Terrible representation of a lawyer . Lack of communication an him filing extensions with higher courts just to put off Bc he lags in his efficiency to make deadlines on time. Go to Atlanta if u want a REAL lawyer.
