An Excellent Choice

I am so glad I accepted a referral to Joel Reed's firm. Joel's savvy legal expertise  and thoroughness, coupled with his patience and compassion made a difficult family law process manageable.  I also want to compliment Sue, and especially, Julie for their supportive assistance; I couldn't have asked... for a better legal team.

Wonderful legal advice and assistance!

Joel was phenomenal for my divorce and child custody case. He truly listened to me and validated my concerns. Joel worked diligently to finalize my divorce and ensure my child is in a safe and healthy environment. Thank you so much, Joel!

Highly recommend

We are deeply indebted to Joel Reed's skill and effectiveness. After my sister was killed unexpectedly in an accident leaving behind little ones under 10, my mother and I found ourselves having to grapple with a custody struggle on top of everything else. My niece's father was adamant about taking s...ole custody even though she'd grown up living with my mother. Feedback from other lawyers suggested that my mother gaining custody was such a longshot that it wasn't much worth the attempt. However, we were - very fortunately! - referred to Joel from another lawyer who wasn't able/willing to take on our case. Our initial meeting with Joel was the first time we began to feel a little hope. He was realistic & honest with us about the challenges, but also encouraging detailing an approach that could make gaining custody possible. We left feeling like he'd not only guide us through the process, but that he was invested in the wellbeing of his clients & would genuinely fight on our behalf. That's exactly what he did. All throughout the ordeal, he was responsive to our questions and kept us informed of all developments. Most importantly, his patience, strategic approach and calming influence helped shift the position of an uncooperative father so that we could negotiate an arrangement establishing my mother as full custodian much more amicably and painlessly than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful that we were referred to Mr Reed. We recommend him highly and without reservation!

Child Custody

I met with Attorney Reed because I was experiencing difficulties with my Shared Parenting Plan and seeing my Son. Attorney Reed was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and most importantly able to clearly explain to me a plan of action. I knew immediately he was the attorney I needed to represe...nt me. Some of you may be aware the legal system can be difficult and very slow at times. Attorney Reed was able to promptly move our case along. He knew how to handle every step and obstacle while always communicating options and suggestions to me. Our case untimely went to trial and that's when I was able to see how dedicated Attorney Reed was to my case. I have the utmost respect for how Attorney Reed conducts himself and gets things done. In the end I was awarded custody of my Son and cannot thank Attorney Reed enough for how much he has helped my family. I would 100% recommend Attorney Reed to anyone in need of an attorney to represent them.
