Posted by anonymous | October 02, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Child Custody Case in Progress - Great results to date!

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!

Excellent Divorce Lawyer

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.

Child Support Case

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.

If you are considering bankruptcy, call him first!

Over the last 5 years, Mr. Reed has helped I and my wife with a serious and complicated financial situation that resulted in a bankruptcy proceeding. It is coming to an end soon and he has done an excellent job for us. He has been very professional and friendly and we are glad that we chose him.

Compassionate, patient bankruptcy lawyer

Mr. Reed helped me and my wife deal with a major problem with the IRS. We got the problem under control with a Chapter 13 plan which we are almost done with. Thru it, Mr. Reed has been supportive, helpful, and patient. He has always responded to us promptly and has never billed us for all the extra w...ork he has done.
