Shawn Reid

There’s not enough I can say about Shawn. He’s been a man of blunt honesty when it came to my divorce/custody case 4 years ago when I was living in Canada. It was a long shot at best. He worked diligently and aggressively to secure what was in my sons best interest and we ended up settling out of cou...rt. Then came my custody modification. Due to issues raised by my son, Shawn filed for modification of time sharing. I live out of the state of Florida, so again my circumstance was unique. He worked with me at great lengths to build a strong case. I sit here today, 4 years after contacting Mr Reid, and we got a voluntary termination of parental rights. If you’re looking for an extremely knowledgeable attorney, someone who won’t waste your time and resources just to get $$, and someone who cares for you and your family... then I can recommend Shawn enough.

Shawn Reid is an amazing lawyer. He was fairly priced and did not nickle and dime me like some lawyers try to do. He was ethical in his tactics. He covered all the bases I needed him to do. He was extremely thorough and did not leave any details out. He made the process seamless and as painless as po...ssible.

I am reposting this review, because Avvo initially approved this and then took it down, so I will try to adhere to the review guidelines. Please note that the initial review was dated from July 2014. Mr. Reid did not do a good job representing us. He told us things that were not true. For example, he... stated that we, the grandparents of the child, could gain custody of the child, over the biological parents. After we paid for Mr. Reid's services and went to court the judge immediately dismissed the case. Also Mr. Reid refused to return any of our phone calls (far less for our money). Therefore, for his lack of knowledge and questionable work ethics, I cannot recommend Mr. Reid to anyone.

Attorney Reid has guided me through the divorce process with an impossible ex husband. He has proven himself to be empathetic, professional and a man of integrity. He listened to my needs and gave me honest and realistic advice. He is not an attorney who is always watching the clock. Even thou...gh he had a calming presence with me, his client, Attorney Reid was a fighter, and stood strong getting the best possible outcome. He has a tough, no nonsense approach and was not afraid to stand up for what was right in court. His strategies proved that he understands the mentalities and processes involved and could almost predict each court appearance outcome based on his years of experience. I felt very confident going up against my ex with Attorney Reid by my side. I have highly recommended Mr. Reid to my friends and family and will continue to do so.
