Nick Reiner’s Lawyer, Alan Jackson, is an Expert in his Field
Nick Reiner was not immediately cleared to appear in court. Still, he has found a lawyer. The 32-year-old stands accused of killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, after an explosive argument at a high-end holiday party over the weekend. The younger Reiner, who spent time homeless, didn’t just hire any lawyer, either. He hired a high-profile defense lawyer with a track record of defending high-profile defendants. Alan Jackson is the counsel he has retained. Jackson has been at the center of several celebrity trials. It’s unclear how the 32-year-old, who was previously living in his parents’ guest house, is funding his defense.
Nick Reiner hires celebrity lawyer, Alan Jackson, to defend him?
Nick Reiner retained one of the top defense lawyers in the country. The revelation came just two days after LAPD officers arrested Reiner in a tense standoff. The 32-year-old is charged with first-degree murder for the killings of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. The couple was found stabbed inside their Brentwood home. He has retained Alan Jackson to defend him against the charges.
Jackson is known across the United States for his courtroom prowess and his willingness to take on complex, highly publicized crimes. Jackson famously defended Harvey Weinstein. He recently worked on the Karen Read and served as lead counsel for Kevin Spacey’s sexual assault case. Over the course of his career, Jackson has worked with sports stars, billionaires, and music and movie executives.
How much does a high-profile lawyer cost?
Alan Jackson has confirmed that Nick Reiner has retained him. He has made it clear that he is taking on the case. That is all the high-profile legal star is saying right now, though. What everyone is wondering is how the younger Reiner, whose behavior was so antisocial that it upset everyone at Conan O’Brien’s holiday party, plans to pay for the top-tier legal defense.
According to the New York Post, Alan Jackson has never made his rates public. Considering his client list, expertise, and impeccable track record of favorable outcomes for defendants, his rate is high. The publication estimates Jackson could charge upward of $1 million for a complex defense for a murder trial. A retainer alone may have cost Reiner six figures. Where Nick Reiner might find that kind of cash, considering all that has happened, is anyone’s guess, though.
While the Riener family has issued a statement following the tragedy, they have opted not to discuss Nick Reiner. They have not mentioned his suspected role in the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Early reports indicated that Romy Reiner, the youngest of the Riener kids, told police that her brother may be responsible for the slayings.
