An amazing personal injury Atty I highly recommend

Reaching out to Charles Reed for help after I was injured in a car accident was one of the best decisions I could’ve made. It was an absolute pleasure working with Charlie and Jill Diana, the firms paralegal and truly an amazing person, who together went above and beyond to help make this situation a...s stress free for me as possible. They were prompt, knowledgeable, patient and empathetic during this very difficult time in my life. Charlie fought hard to reach a resolution I was extremely happy with and I am so grateful. I strongly recommend him!

Knowledgeable and Compassionate

Charles was fantastic in getting our injury claim to a great settlement. After my wife being hit by a car, we were overwhelmed and Charles guided us through the whole process with expert advice. He brought us to a settlement resolution that was the light at the end of a long, tough tunnel. We would h...ighly recommend him for any injury or accident issues.

5 STARTS! LOUGHLIN FITZGERALD AND CHARLES REED SET MY MIND AT EASE!

I was in an auto-accident, which was no fault of my own, and I had some minor injuries. I owed money on the car, which was totaled and now had medical expenses I needed to take care, and had no idea what to do until I contacted Loughlin Fitzgerald. My case was taken over seamlessly and both Charles R...eed and I couldn't have asked for better representation. Charlie and his staff were all very knowledgably and helpful and set my mind at ease that everything would work itself out. In the end, in less than 4 meetings with my attorney, my case was settled and I am a highly satisfied indicial who would refer Loughlin Fitzgerald to any of my family or friends. 5 stars!

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."

Litigation lawyer | Feb 11

Relationship: Co-worker

"Charlie is an exceptionally gifted civil litigator. His intelligent, effective and practical approach to case management and problem solving has deservedly earned him the loyalty of his clients, both corporate and individual. Charlie is widely recognized by Connecticut judges and his colleagues at the bar, as a trial lawyer of the highest caliber and an enthusiastic and important leader in the profession. This confidence is reflected in his election to the presidency of the New Haven County Bar Association for 2010, and his position as managing principal at Loughlin FitzGerald, P.C. I recommend him highly."
