Posted by Shannon | November 02, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

If you feel like there is no hope, Mr. Benjamin Bradley Reed says otherwise!

I want to share my case with the public and how the outcome was more than I could ever expect. My daughter got into a fight with another child. Her parents filed charges on my daughter and the state picked it up. I felt like my child was going to get dragged through the justice system like a violen...t criminal, and that's exactly what the state wanted. Once the first hearing was finished I knew I needed a lawyer. I searched and searched for attorneys to help us. I talked to several and once they heard the details they either wouldn't take the case or the vibe didn't seem very believing, just give me money and we will see. It seemed all hope was lost and my child was going to fall victim to the court. Then I came across Benjamin Bradley Reed contact info and I called and left a message. He returned my call and while talking to him I knew he was our attorney. He wanted to meet to go over all details of our case. He made it clear he wanted to hear the truth and nothing else. I felt like he would also deny it once he heard the truth. After the meeting he was eager to try the case and I was excited and felt hopeful when I left but in the back of my mind I was thinking there is no way he was going to pull this off. The state wanted battery charge and Mr. Reed was not having that at all, he knew the truth and the half truth the state was using to prosecute. The state kept relaying messages to us through him to take a plea. I was thinking should we take it, is it going to be worse if we don't? He was going to let us make the decision but I felt like he wanted a chance to argue the point. He said "you make your own decision and if you want t o go to trial, I am more than ready", When he came back the last time with the states offer he said lets not negotiate no more, lets do this! His cross examination of the witnesses the state had blew my mind. I was sitting there thinking "Is this the same easy spoken man I was just talking to a minute ago?" From the opening comments from Mr. Reed to the end, I knew he meant business and my hope hit the roof! My daughter admitted to everything accusation the state had said. There was more to it than that one time, there was history. His cross examination of the witnesses brought out the truth and the history between the states witness and my child. He revealed the truth and had the states witness that tried to lay from the get go also reveal the truth. We walked out of that courtroom with zero probation, zero anger management, and nothing on my daughters record. Mr. Reed is an amazing attorney. I never thought we would walk out a winner minutes before the trial started. If you are reading this there is no more reason to look any further. You might find a lawyer that may charge less but you always get what you pay for. Mr. Reed worked hard from start to finish and I feel like he is worth way more than what he charges. There is ALWAYS hope in your case, you just need someone to reveal it and that person is Mr. Benjamin Bradley Reed. If you feel like I did please contact Mr. Reed and let him work for you like he did for me, you will not be disappointed by no means. He was honest with us from the start and did exactly what he said he would do. Thanks for reading, Shannon W.
