Review Derek D Reed

Perfect counsel in very complex litigation

I have worked with Derek Reed for a number of years, most recently representing us in complex litigation against a municipal ordinance, arguing constitutional and statutory defects. Mr. Reed impressed me by his strategic thinking, organizational abilities, and, of course, his ability effectively to navigate the legal process. Additionally, he showed political acumen and the ability to work nicely with other professionals who were also engaged in the matter. It has been truly a pleasure to work with Mr. Reed and I can sincerely recommend him without any reservations.

I have had the pleasure of working with Derek on multiple occasions. He has been by far one of the best attorneys to work with. He is very talented at explaining complex legal issues to myself and making it simple to understand. I'm looking forward to continuing working with him in the future.

Sound advice

I called Derek requesting a consultation about a multifamily property that I was about to get under contract. One of the long term tenants had no lease but lots of privileges that the seller was not willing to curtail. Derek helped me see the difference between being risky and irresponsible. I just found my landlord attorney. Derek - I also asked my real estate attorney (Terri Nitti) to refer her clients to you when they have landlord tenant matters. Thank you

I was truly in a jam with an eviction matter. I had an attorney through a work plan who insisted no evictions were taking place due to covid! Derek gave me a couple of suggestions and it worked and the person left within 4 days. I was thrilled!

My company is a large regional Commercial Real Estate Property Owner. Derek and his firm have handled numerous Landlord Tenant cases for our company over the past 5 years dealing with issues ranging from basic landlord tenant matters, to major capital improvements applications, to settlement of lawsuits. Derek has been very successful in producing outcomes for our company which have been optimal and he has always been very diligent in handling our case work. We operate our business in a very regulated environment having to deal with municipal, State and federal jurisdictional issues and Derek has always helped us navigate complex regulatory matters. I've had the pleasure of attending a few of Derek's seminars on Fair Housing and the New Jersey Apartment Association convention in Atlantic City and I've found his seminars to be highly insightful. I would highly recommend Derek to handle your case.

Derek has been very responsive to my needs as a landlord. When I was sued by a tenant, the guidance and representation of Derek proved to be very valuable and was instrumental to a judgment in my favor. He has customized a thorough and useful lease for use with my investment properties. And he and his colleagues have provided very good advice regarding matters relating my other small business investments. He was recommended to me by another RE investor and I have in turn recommended him to others.
