Ex-Lawyer Reveals Why He Quit Working for Nick Reiner
Attorney Alan Jackson has publicly addressed his decision to withdraw from representing Nick Reiner in a high-profile murder case. Nick Reiner is accused of the first-degree murder of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, who were tragically killed in their Los Angeles home. Jackson stepped down on January 7, just weeks after the crime took place.
Details Surrounding Alan Jackson’s Departure
In a recent interview on the Hot Mics podcast with Billy Bush, Jackson refrained from disclosing specific reasons for his resignation. He stated, “I’m bound by legal and ethical restrictions,” which limits his ability to comment further. Jackson emphasized that he would not entertain speculation regarding financial issues, saying, “I have not said a word about it.”
Circumstances Beyond Control
During a press conference on the day he left the case, Jackson described the circumstances leading to his withdrawal as “beyond our control.” He reiterated, “It’s made it impossible for us to continue our representation of Nick.” Furthermore, Jackson maintained his belief in Nick’s innocence, asserting, “Pursuant to the law in California, Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder.”
Background on the Case
Rob and Michele Reiner were found dead shortly after attending a party hosted by Conan O’Brien. According to an L.A. coroner’s report, they suffered “multiple sharp force injuries,” and authorities identified a knife as the murder weapon. Nick was formally charged with first-degree murder on December 16, ahead of Jackson’s withdrawal.
Reiner Family’s Statement

As this legal saga unfolds, Alan Jackson’s withdrawal raises questions about the future of Nick Reiner’s defense. The focus now remains squarely on the upcoming judicial proceedings in this tragic case.
