Rex has achieved outstanding results in the courtroom over the span of his career – he obtained the first million-dollar verdict in California’s Kern County as a young lawyer and, years later, obtained a historic, record-breaking defamation jury verdict in Los Angeles for $370,000,000. In between, Rex has obtained dozens of seven-, eight- and nine-figure verdicts and settlements.
In addition to managing his trial calendar and the firm’s diversified practice, Rex also manages one of California’s fastest-growing cities. As the mayor of Lancaster, California since 2008, Rex has gained nationwide media attention for his efforts to improve the well-being of the city’s residents.
