This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

BLESSED

I can never thank Rick Reade enough for his help with the handling of my son's brain injury case. This was an extremely challenging case. My son whom is now 12 yrs old now are extremely grateful for Rick's handling of this case. I highly recommend this Attorney going forward he also has a great sense... of Empathy for his clients.

Genuine Concern for Clients

Unfortunately I found myself in an extremely complicated and sensitive custody battle. Originally I hired Attorney Theresa Reade to work on my case, she was professional, compassionate, and truly invested and concerned about my case. I was always kept informed about any and all information regardin...g the case, even if it didn't have much relevance she knew it was still important to me and put in the extra effort to ease my concern. Attorney Richard Reade joined in the effort to reverse the order that was in place as we approached trial. Richard and Theresa are a fierce team armed with years of experience and a passion I had never seen before in and attorney. At trial Rick was confident, concise and completely in control of the situation and courtroom. The opposing attorney was made to look the fool, and totally put to shame, truth be told Rick called him on all his ridiculous fabrications and attempts to twist the truth. Too many attorney's will take your money and work your case just going through the motion's but the Reade's truly do have a genuine concern for their clients.
