Highly recommend! Michael Reeds and office was excellent from the beginning to the end

I strongly recommend Michael Reeds. I hired Mke Reeds in May 2019 when I was forced to deal with a criminal transgression. Not only is he knowledgeable with laws, he also presents himself in a very professional manner in the courtroom. He is very respected by his peers and maintains an impressive dem...eanor. When I first met with Mr. Reeds he immediately put my fears and concerns to rest. He was extremely empathetic and caring. He was always available for my questions and was very prompt in delivering and communications with the prosecution. He is detail oriented, professional, efficient, encouraging and truly helped me feel at ease during that trying time. I knew my transgression was serious, I shared my need to get help yet he believed in me. I talked to serval attorneys before finding Mike Reeds and was told that I was going to be charged as a habitual by every attorney, and was told that it was very unlikely of avoiding jail time. Mike Reeds was able to fight for me to only get mimanal probation. So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, and need an excellent attorney, I recommend Michael Reeds

Amazing, Caring, professional!

Excellent attorney! I would reccomend Michael Reeds to any friend or family. He is top of the line. Did exactly what he said he would.

Michael Reeds is the best in the business!

I truly believe that no one could have represented me better than Mike at any price. Mike knows every detail and every angle of the law and was able to use that information to my advantage. My case ended up better than I had hoped and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Mike!

He's a very good lawyer. With a passion for what he does.

He's a extremely good lawyer. I've had him represent me on multiple occasions. Each time he gave me my options, fought for me when needed and presented my case very eloquently. I wouldn't trust anyone else in my time of need.

Beyond satisfied with Mikes representation

Mike was able to keep me out of jail for a probation violation and kept my probation terms the exact same. Went with different representation from the start, and If I could go back and do it over, I would have hired mike from the get go. He will be my go to lawyer for any issues from here on out. Wou...ld highly reccomend for anyone looking for criminal defense from my experience. Thanks again mike!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
