William Michael Reed

I have been working with Mr. Reed as my attorney for the past 18 months on my child custody case and child support issues. So far Mr. Reed has been a great asset! Since my case is still in progress I don't want to divulge too many of the details. I will save that for afterwards. What I can say is... that when Mr. Reed as your attorney develops a plan and strategy for your case, it must be followed - no exceptions. You may be uncomfortable with what you hear or may wonder if there is a way to get quicker results, don't question Mr. Reed's plan, strategy, process. He applies many years of experience with the Florida Court System for his clients' benefit. If you follow what he tells you won't be disappointed!

WARNING! BEWARE! DO NOT HIRE MR. WILLIAM REED. I retained Mr. William Reed for my divorce to assist with child support issues. When I met with Mr. Reed at his office he promised me the world and assured me he had all the experience & expertise to handle my case. It is now 5 months later and he ...delivered ZERO results and on the contrary I am in a worse position than when I started. Mr. Reed is extremely unorganized, condescending, arrogant, bully, uncaring, and flat out unprofessional. When I first retained Mr. Reed he informed me that the initial hefty retainer would be more than enough to cover my case and stated it was non-refundable. He also stated that I would receive monthly itemized invoices showing me how my retainer was being spent down and when near depletion. I never received ANY such itemized invoices; he waited until I was in the negative to then send me a bill requesting another hefty amount of money to continue my case even though he had zero results. I had no intention of continuing services with Mr. Reed once the initial non refundable retainer was exhausted due to his lack of performance. Mr. Reed knew this so he tried to bully and corner me against the wall with a negative balance (Dishonest). I emailed Mr. Reed requesting the negative balance be dismissed since I was not notified. I supplied Mr. Reed with a copy of his contract we both signed pointing out he had broken the contract. Mr. Reed disregarded my email by replying: “The debt remains due and will begin incurring interest in 30 days. In 90 days, if unpaid, the debt will be turned over to my collection attorney. I wish you good luck and good fortune in the future.” (Condescending & Arrogant) I tried calling the office to contact Mr. Reed to discuss the matter and his paralegal Shelly informed me “Mr. Reed will not take your calls, if you have anything to say it needs to be in writing or email only”. (Unprofessional) This is not how you treat a paying customer. Needless to say I am now out a hefty sum of money, zero results, 5 months behind on my case, and need to incur more financial cost & time finding a new attorney that is competent.

I was provided outstanding service with my child support case. This team full understood family law and was able to get my child support reduced due to one of my children aging out. Moreover, they understood military life and pay. Lastly, they informed me on every step and exactly what I needed to do... to assist them in my case. I definitely received great legal representation at a very reasonable price.

Very time orientated. Verbally let me know several times during our 30 minute free consult how much time was left. Did not seem friendly, courteous, or concerned about my situation. Blurted out general Divorce facts. Parenting aggreement, equitable division, alimony, child support, end of marriag...e. Basically that short. no real discussion or connectivity.
