Great Firm

I had a very unusual family law case and Mrs Reed was highly recommended to me by her peers and other legal professionals from Bay, Gulf, and Franklin county. Mrs Reed and her staff were always very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and up front. I would definitely use her firm again if I ever... need any legal advice or representation.

The Best

I don't know where the negative reviews are coming from. Bitter loss i guess. I was referred to Ms. Reed by another attorney. I was initially hesitant about her because of how sweet she was, but at our first hearing "WOW" the sweet, softspoken woman was gone. She was awesome. Long story short... I e...nded up with Majority time share, which is almost unheard of for Dad's in Florida. Super happy with her and her staff

Kim won me custody

I was coming off a fresh legal loss when I hired Ms. Reed. From that day on, I took losses no more. Custody court is costly, lengthy, very demanding, and obviously stressful. With that being said, if you are serious, you should hire Kim Reed. She is not a slacker and will ask you to not be either. Sh...e set me straight on a fault of mine once. I'm a single Dad and my son is now where he belongs, in a positive environment.

Buyer Beware

I hired this attorney to handle my divorce/custody case and regret it wholeheartedly. During the free consultation she was very pleasant and positive but a mere three weeks into my case her true colors were blaring: dismissive, rude, immature, and unprofessional. When I mentioned her paralegal ramble...d on too much about his own personal things (hello, I'm paying you by every 30 minutes), she called me to cut ties...totally blind-sided. I hired her because she was a woman and that was my mistake. She seems to hate other women... I thought I had gotten away from that personality type when I left high school. My case now behind me (and handled quite professionally by the attorney I hired after this lady), I should have put some research into my representation...it is my money after all, and Ms. Reed not only wasted that but my time as well.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
