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 n...avigate 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.

Derek Reed

Derek was knowledgable and efficient. He handle need my landlord/ tenant issue in a very professional manner. He was able to help evict tenants and recover a portion of the money owed.

An ethical and knowledgable attorney

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.

Exceptional Counsel for Landlord Tenant Cases

As a senior housing nonprofit, meeting tenants in court is a delicate endeavor. Derek maintained the highest levels of professionalism while successfully resolving a difficult case in our favor after years of failed attempts by others. He is obviously well-regarded in the courtroom, and his knowledge... and experience made the difference in our case. Additionally, he was a helpful source of reassurance and support to our staff during a prolonged time of stress. I absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for landlord tenant issues.
