Lawyer Alan Jackson has represented countless high-profile clients over the years, but his greatest partnership is with his wife, Lisa Kassabian.
Both Jackson and Kassabian are lawyers. Jackson is a partner at his law firm, Werksman, Jackson and Quinn. Kassabian, for her part, works as a Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney.
While Kassabian has kept a low-profile over the years, Jackson has been in the spotlight taking on cases defending countless Hollywood stars. He has defended Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and most famously Karen Read.
In December 2025, Jackson represented Nick Reiner in the murder trial of Nick’s parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Nick was charged with two counts of first degree murder and Jackson briefly defended Nick in court. However, the following month, Jackson shockingly withdrew from the case. The attorney shared he could not ethically explain his reasoning for the case was due to “circumstances beyond his control” and “beyond Nick’s control.”

I want nothing but the best for him and I want him to get the most robust defense that he possibly can get. And I know he will in the hands of the public defender’s office.”
