Great DWI attorney

Reasonably priced & got the charges dropped by the judge. Used tactics & strategies that would only be known by an experienced lawyer. He had great knowledge of the legal system & the players involved in determining your fate. He is worth the time of a consultation before making any decision.

Rex is hands down the best!

Rex is the man! If you need a really good criminal defense attorney you better call Rex. Rex was able to get my Felony Probation Violation dismissed with no jail time, I only had to pay my fees. I have been running from a probation violation for over 10 years and it all came to a head when I was pull...ed over and arrested a few days ago. Rex was the 1st person my wife called and as sure as he said it, he did it. I am now a free man and don't have any legal issues over my head. The prosecuter was going to revoke me and send me to jail for a few years since it was my 2 probation violation on a non adjudicated charge so I should have went to prison but Rex had other plans. His fees are the same as everyone elses but he is better then everyone else. If your on the fence about which attorney to use... Call Rex, you will not be disappointed. Thanks a million Rex and team...

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
