William Michael Reed

I would like to commend my former attorney William M. Reed for his handling of my high conflict divorce case. The case took a substantial amount of time to conclude because of the volume of litigation and the aggressiveness of my former wife' attorney. At all times, Mr. Reed was patient, prepared, an...d very helpful. The lawsuit was expensive due to the complex issues involved, but I feel that my attorney fees were well earned by Mr. Reed who did an outstanding job on my behalf. I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends and family to him if they are in need of the services of an excellent family law lawyer. I am happy to discuss my experience with anyone who wishes to inquire.

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.
