<p><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=tory+lanez&;post_type=post" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Tory Lanez</strong></a> new attorney says he wishes the rapper had reached out prior to his conviction late last month, but remains confident about winning the rapper&#8217;s appeal.</p>
<p>Renowned defense attorney <strong>Jose Baez</strong> told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/17/tory-lanez-lawyer-jose-baez-appeal-likely-defense-attorney/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>TMZ</strong></a> that had Lanez&#8217; retained him for his shooting trial, he likely wouldn&#8217;t be facing upwards of 22-years in prison.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Tory&#8217;s New High-Powered Lawyer Regrets Rapper Didn&#8217;t Reach Out To Him Prior To Trial</h3>
<p>Tory&#8217;s new high-powered lawyer said he&#8217;s ready to go to bat for Tory too, but maintains his regret over the fact Tory didn&#8217;t call him in for the trial.</p>
<p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Baez</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> is famously known as the lawyer that got </span><strong><span class="r-18u37iz">Casey Anthony</span></strong><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> off for murder and </span><strong><span class="r-18u37iz">Aaron Hernandez</span></strong><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> off for a double murder, with successful track record when it comes to high-profile clients.</span></p>
<p>Baez refused to go into detail regarding specifics of the appeal, but hinted that he would have done things differently if he were representing Lanez during his trial for shooting <strong>Megan Thee Stallion</strong>.</p>

<p>He did reveal to TMZ that he&#8217;s confident that procedural errors were made, not wholly in part in part due to its incredible high-profile trial, and added that will be the basis of Tory&#8217;s appeal.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">New Appeals Lawyer Says Tory&#8217;s &#8220;Making Adjustments&#8221; Since His Incarceration</h3>
<p>Baez went on to say that his client had never been convicted before, and therefore hasn&#8217;t gone through anything like this before, but did say he&#8217;s attempting to make adjustments while incarcerated.</p>
<p>Last week, Lanez went on an attorney-hiring spree, retaining the services of David Kenner, and Baez to take on his conviction appeal.</p>
<p>Kenner famously represented such clients as Snoop Dogg in his 1996 murder trial as well as Suge Knight, former Death Row CEO.</p>
<p>Baez has represented the aforementioned Casey Anthony and Hernandes, who took his own life in the middle of filing an appear for his Odin Loyd murder conviction.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Lanez&#8217;s Trial Lawyer Insists He Wasn&#8217;t Fired But Says He &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t Do Appeals&#8221;</h3>
<p>Tory Lanez’s former trial attorney, George Mgdesyan, told <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/01/18/tory-lanezs-ex-lawyer-says-he-was-not-fired-speaks-on-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Page Six</strong></a> that he was was not fired, and added that the decision to not take part in his client’s appeal was “mutual,&#8221; saying &#8220;he&#8217;s still friends with them.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“I did not get fired. I’m still friends with them,” the California-based attorney adds.</p>
<p>“I met with Tory’s dad. I went and visited Tory, so I wanted to be very clear because I know there are people who are reporting facts that are not true.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Mgdesyan went on to say he had not formally &#8220;resigned&#8221; from Lanez&#8217; case, either. He told the outlet that it would be the best for the 30-year-old Canadian rapper to hires an appeals attorney since he himself doesn&#8217;t &#8220;do appeals.&#8221;</p>
