Nick Reiner’s Ex-Lawyer Dispels Quit Rumor, Reveals Quick Hiring
Alan Jackson, the former attorney for Nick Reiner, has addressed recent rumors regarding his departure from the case. The seasoned criminal defense lawyer spoke on the “Hot Mic” podcast hosted by Billy Bush.
Details of the Case
Jackson recounted the urgency of his involvement. He received a call in the early hours of December 15, just after the tragic events that unfolded on December 14. On that day, Nick Reiner’s parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were found deceased, with Nick arrested shortly after.
Immediate Reaction
- Jackson acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating he “dropped everything” to take on the case.
- He emphasized that he had to maintain confidentiality regarding the source of the call.
- After receiving the call, he quickly informed his team and boarded a flight to Los Angeles.
Resignation and Speculation
Last week, Jackson publicly announced his decision to step down as Nick Reiner’s attorney. When questioned by Bush about potential financial motivations behind his exit, Jackson refrained from confirming any details relating to his retainer.
Professional Constraints
- Jackson indicated that “something happened” regarding his capacity to continue representing Reiner.
- He urged against speculation about the reasons for his resignation, highlighting that he has not disclosed specific details.
Legal experts not connected to the case have begun to discuss possible factors that may have influenced Jackson’s decision. However, without additional insights from Jackson himself, the exact reasons remain unclear.
