Veronica L. Reed

 Inspired by her children's pediatrician, Veronica left her corporate career and opened the Law Office after a number of years being her family's special education and family law attorney. She is now focused on helping you advocate for your children. Whether that is establishing an IEP or pursuing a complaint against a school, resolving a custody dispute, helping your teenager resolve a school suspension or PINS matter, protecting your child from bullying and ensuring that he or she has a safe place to learn, helping you adopt a child or build a thriving alternative family. Whatever your legal issue, you need pragmatic cost-effective approaches that provide long-term solutions. You have questions. Call or email today and let us help you find answers.

Veronica has the corporate and litigation experience you can rely on to advocate for you and your family. Her corporate career spans twenty years with General Electric, Kawasaki, Booz Allen Hamilton, and MTA New York City Transit where she wrote and negotiated commercial contracts and pursued and defended against claims for construction and manufacturing projects.
