He’s not an academic. He’s an adjunct in a paralegal program - probably a lawyer picking up a few extra bucks. He’s an idiot for not knowing how to keep his mouth shut on social media when you have that kind of job.
Interestingly he’s described as a partner in this firm:

But his mugshot doesn’t appear in the rogues gallery. Maybe they pulled it?
Wonder why it wouldn’t be there otherwise, being a partner and all. I’m not asking that his firm would lose any business as a result of this but I’d be OK with it....
This is a perfect example of how the media lies.
The guy is not a paralegal. He is not a professor. He is a PARTNER in Carlson Law Firm, a big lucrative personal injury law firm.
“Rob attained the largest Civil Rights verdict in Texas for 2016 in a case against the Austin Police Department for excessive use of force against an innocent citizen. “
It looks like they have taken his name off the firm’s website but the link above should get you his profile.
Might be fun to give his law firm some feedback. Maybe even contact the Texas Bar Association.
