Great real estate attorney!

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.

Derek was extremely knowledgeable and easy to get a hold of. He was able to obtain all the important information with my issues and rectify them.

Recommendation of Derek Reed

Derek Reed was referred to me. I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently my needs were met, while being kept informed from process inception to completion.

Very unprofessional

He does not even review the documents I sent and all he cares is to get us to sign retention agreement: what is the point for free consultation if you do not even review material? How do I even know you are right lawyer for our case?

Replied last May 23, 2016

I do not know who you are, but I speak with many folks over the phone about their legal issues to gauge whether or not I can be of assistance. Your comment suggests you expected me to also review all your materials and give you a full assessment of your case, in which case I would have to be retained. I regret that you had a different expectation and hope you found someone to handle your issue for you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
