Rex is very professional. Don’t even need to tell him details, just let him do his thing. You’re in good hands. I’ve hired a couple attorneys & he’s by far the best. There’s really a reason he’s five stars. Being a former prosecutor is a big deal. He’s respected by everyone in the courthouse. Including judges.

I was in trouble for the the first time ever with some pretty scary possibilities of consequences due to my actions. I was scared to death I'd lose everything I worked for but Nick walked me through every step of the way, with professionalism, kindness, and outstanding work. Nick saved me, my kids, my career, my life. Thank you Nick for absolutely everything. I will forever be thankful and grateful.

Attorney Rex Blake was a absolute blessing. When I ended up in some questionable circumstances and had a very serious charge to back it, I knew I needed a great lawyer fast.

While going over details about my situation Rex quickly developed

This law firm assisted me during a legal issue I was facing. I personally research the firm and spoke directly with Blake before hiring him. I knew I made the right choice after speaking to him for a few minutes. I'm what you would call a "Google scholar" because I research everything, everybody, and every situation before making a decision. I could tell he was knowledgeable and once I knew he had my best interest at hand--it was all uphill from there. Dealing with his legal assistant, Pam, was very convenient and you can always expect a fast response with questions. The outcome
