Marc X. Carlos knows who to attack, when to attack, how to attack
When Marc X. Carlos tells stories of the dramatic criminal defense cases he’s handled, he often pauses and smiles before adding, “Now, do you want to hear the twist?”
This is partly a reflection of having a lot of stories to tell. He’s taken on more than 200 jury trials and been lead counsel in 32 homicide cases, many of which have made headlines and ended up being featured in books and true crime shows.
It’s also a function of being a born storyteller with three mystery novels under his belt.
“There’s a reason true crime podcasts are such a big business,” Carlos says. “This stuff is genuinely exciting. You don’t see 20/20 episodes about a corporate merger, but you do about the kind of cases I handle.”
