Professional and compassionate

Steven Reed helped me when I was in a difficult situation with high potential risks. I was impressed that he exhibited compassion to all parties and that he immediately brought concerns to my attention that I wasn't previously aware of. The entire team was professional and responsive which gave me gr...eat peace of mind. The situation was resolved to my satisfaction.

Outstanding representation

I retained Mr. Reed several years back in a child custody dispute. I was very impressed with Mr. Reed's responsiveness and effectiveness. He was tough as nails when he needed to be and offered honest opinion on how to resolve the dispute in the best interest of the child. I would recommend him to an...yone, especially for fathers. His rates were also very reasonable.

Excellent Representation

Mr. Reed and his team are professional and prompt working with my case. I highly recommend their firm for divorce proceedings. They are kind and patient as well as quick to answer any questions that you may have.

Steve and his firm got my settlement in a timely manner. They were very professional and they communicated every step of the way. They were caring and I would definitely recommend them.

Knowledge, Trust and Kindness...a winning combination

I found working with Steve and his firm a "pleasure", which seems strange, given the circumstances of a surprise divorce. I trusted Steve's knowledge because he proved again and again that he was trustworthy. For example, he had to advise the lawyer that looked after the filing that it had been filed... in the wrong county - a mistake that, if not caught, would have resulted in me still being legally married. One needs to file in the county one lives. He advised on important clauses and asked the questions I needed to ponder in order to arrive at a JOD that I could live with. While Mr. Reed was kind, courteous and warm, I do not recommend Mr. Reed as a therapist; he is a very thorough lawyer and can be relied on to do that job extremely well. Further Jamie and Taylor were friendly, respectful and positive as was everyone I encountered in the office. John was a sheer delight despite what I'm imagining is a difficult job at times. I have recommended this firm and lawyer to friends that are serious about wanting things handled well and expediently. I truly concur with what I've heard from numerous people - both parties need to pick knowledgable, non litigious lawyers who are looking for solutions and collaboration if they want to reduce expenditures and increase ease. I only wish there had been two lawyers of the same calibre in my case.. Thank you Steve and team! I really feel like I lucked out.

Mediation lawyer | Dec 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I recently used Attorney Reed to mediate a child custody matter. I am not an Ann Arbor lawyer. There is always a bit of anxiety when you choose a mediator that you are not personally familiar with, but I must say, my anxiety was wholly misplaced. Mediator Reed did an excellent job working with both parties and aide them in making an agreement. This was not a simple case to resolve, and he did it! I would highly recommend him to any attorney seeking a domestic relations mediator in the Ann Arbor area and beyond!"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I fully endorse Steve. I have frequently been opposing counsel to Steve and I respect Steve’s trial skills. I know that Steve will be prepared, ethical, make well-reasoned legal arguments, and not waste the Judge’s time with trivial matters. Although having Steve as opposing counsel is always an intellectual challenge, I look forward to having him as opposing counsel because he knows what he is doing and makes the trial process work smooth and efficiently by closely following the Court Rules and Rules of Evidence."

Family lawyer | May 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Steve Reed is one of the premiere attorneys in Washtenaw County. He understands family dynamics and family law. Steve also has strong ties to various experts in the field from psychologists and evaluators to accountants and private investigators. Every case seems to get the same level of careful attention from Steve. In fact, while an attorney may have a very busy practice, a client's case is the "only" case to that client (and Steve knows that). Steve constantly tracks appellate decisions and is always current on the law. Because of this, we often have animated discussions about cutting line issues. While he is a zealous advocate for his clients, Steve also does mediation. In the midst of high conflict, he sees solutions. I recommend Steve highly."
