Steven A. Reed

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.

Steve Reed is an extraordinary attorney and that is an understatement!! My divorce was extremely contentious with many many games played by the other side. Steve protected me legally, financially and supported me emotionally. Not only is Steve an extraordinary attorney but an extraordinary person.... Steve was always available when I needed help. On a few occasions it was an emergency situation and Steve responded literally within 1-2 minutes. Steve is professional, ethical, knowledgeable and honest. I was always informed so that I could make the best decisions regarding my case. However, I highly encourage everyone to pay close attention to Steve's recommendations as he is never wrong. Steve was able to anticipate all the games the other side played and protected me every time. Steve does not play legal games as he is a master of the law and therefore, he does not waste your money. Steve was able to keep my legal fees very low considering the other side spent outrageous amounts of money. Steve is a highly respected by attorneys, Judges and Judicial staff. The court is well aware of Steve's integrity which makes the legal process much smoother. Steve is an attorney that is able to handle every situation with integrity. Steve is excellent at negotiating, practical in options to protect his clients finances and unbeatable when action is necessary. Steve always puts his client and their best interest first. The outcome of my divorce was better than I hoped or expected. I am so grateful for Steve's legal expertise; I was able to make decisions in complete confidence because of this expertise and experience. I was devastated by this divorce but with Steve's guidance I was able to overcome the hardships and find a path forward to begin an amazing future. There are not enough words to express my gratitude to this amazing attorney and firm. Everyone at Reed Law Group are wonderful, professional and caring people. Kaylon is also an attorney at Reed Law Group and she is fantastic too!! Smart, kind and knowledgeable of the law. Jamie, John and Kerry make up the rest of the team and they too are just as outstanding. Wether your divorce is simple, somewhat difficult or contentious you will be protected legally, financially and truly cared about by the Reed Law Group. I am on a path to creating a wonderful, rewarding and joyful future because of these amazing people.

Steven A. Reed handled my recently settled divorce case. I would recommend the Reed Law firm for several reasons including care and concern for the clients well-being, reasonable cost and making sure the client was educated and prepared for each step in the process. Most importantly Steven guided m...e through the mediation process with the utmost professionalism. What is a very stressful and emotional time was made much more manageable by having Steven's guidance and support.

Mr. Reed is a caring involved lawyer. In my case he was as concerned about me as a client as he was about the legal issues. What impressed me most in my research is that he is a winner. He is a bulldog in court, and his results were as promised. He always kept me up to date on where we were in th...e process, and most importantly he kept my head straight. One thing that impressed me about him was his thoroughness and attention to detail. He knew things about the opposing party that even I did not know. His fees seemed like a lot at the time, but being a businessman I checked the other firms and found he was only slightly higher in price than average. I was surprised to get his bills and see many "no charge" hours. Now that the case is finished I think it was the best money I have ever spent. Although he was not available every time I called him, he always returned my calls the same day I left a message. He even called me once on a break from a seminar he was attending, and on a Saturday afternoon he called me from the U of M stadium. For anyone who cannot take straight talk, he may seem a bit aggressive. He tells it like it is, and was not shy about bluntly letting me know how my actions were hurting my position and what i should do to minimize problems. He does not suffer fools well and is very aggressive in his dealings with opposing counsel. . He expected me as his client to take an active role in my case. and to be totally truthful with him. I learned not to be embarrassed in sharing things with him that did not show me in the best light. He was not judgmental but did make serious effort to help me through the life-altering, emotional highs and lows of the case. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who is in need of a strong advocate who will fight for you from start to finish.

Steve handled my divorce. He is personable and a good listener, so I decided to hire him. His rate was low, and at the time, I thought I had a great deal on what I spent. However, he didn't do a good negotiation, left some terms of the agreement poorly written, and now 3 years after the divorce wa...s settled, I'm still grappling with problems derived from his poor negotiation and writing, and I wish I had hired someone more expensive who had done a better job. In particular, he crippled my income prospects by agreeing to a variable clause that I'm trying to overturn, he did not define clearly specific income to be used in calculations (gross income, gross receipts, adjusted taxable, net income) and this is still biting me on discussions with my ex, didn't include basics like a clause where my ex would lose support if she cohabitated with a new person, etc. During these 3 years I have had to learn and inform myself about different aspects of the divorce agreements in order to deal with the consequences of Steve's poor performance. At the time of the divorce, you are emotionally compromised, and in many cases, it is your first rodeo. You don't know what you don't know, and expect your attorney to be a hawk defending your interests, not just waiting for you to direct him. I don't know if my experience was an outlier, because he had great ratings at the time, and still has... however, I can't recommend him to anyone.
