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 f...ound 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

Awesome assistance!

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!

Derek D. Reed great attorney

Mr. Reed is very easy to correspond with and he understands the cares and concerns of landlords. His knowledge of the law is extensive. We are extremely satisfied with the servic...e he has provided over the years and would recommend to other landlords.

Derek is an excellent attorney

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 lawsu...its. 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.

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.
