Covering Attorney to the rescue

My original Attorney at this practice left to be a Judge and could no longer keep his clients. I had a slip and fall accident back in 2016 and Attorney Reed was assigned to my case. I could not have asked for a better person to represent me. I spoke to him many times. He listened to me and what my... concerns where. Then based on my case told me what he was recommending. We worked together and came to an agreement. Within a week after contacting the Defendant, my case was settled. I could not have asked for a better Attorney or outcome.

Expert Service

After being plowed into by a driver speeding through a red light, we were lucky enough to have Attorney Reed and staff help us. We had never been in a situation like this with not only injuries, but the total loss of our vehicle. Attorney Reed was able to see that our bills were paid and our needs ...were met in a pretty quick time frame.

Exceptional Lawyer! - Extremely Professional and Diligent.

Charlie did an exceptional job on my case. He was tremendously helpful in guiding me thru the process and explaining the various steps along the way. Charlie provided regular progress updates as the case progressed and I always felt that he had it 100% under control. Charlie made the process not only... easy for me but achieved an excellent result that was fair and balanced. Thanks Charlie for all your hard work!

Motorcycle accident lawyer | Dec 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Reed was opposing counsel in a case where I represented a motorcycle rider that was in a collision with his client, who was driving an automobile. Attorney Reed was a formidable opponent. He is intelligent, understands the law and its application to a case and was a zealous advocate for his client. However, he is also a gentleman and an example of professionalism and a credit to the legal profession."
