Excellent Attorney.

Renee is a excellent attorney. She handled my divorce. She made sure I received a fair settlement. I was pleased with her attention to detail, and Tenacity. She was easy to work with. I was very happy with the way she handled my case, and would rehire her in a heartbeat.

Hands Down the Best Attorney!

After two attorney's produced unfavorable outcomes throughout my divorce proceedings I was devastated and ready to give up. My husband and I found Renee through a friend. Renee truly listened and researched all the past documents, took copious notes and communicated with us every detail. Her knowle...dge of the law is hands down awe inspiring. She was able to win for us what no other Attorney could accomplish. She saw through all the deceitfulness of my X husband and was able to draw the truth out. Let me tell you, it was amazing watching this fantastic lady do her magic. Finally, after years of disappointment we got the results we wanted. Thank You Renee, what an honor to have worked with you!

Best In The Business!!!

Divorce is a 'gut wrenching ' experience in the best of circumstances. So you want knowledge, skill, tenacity and experience. That's what Attorney Read and paralegal Heidi provide. They are among the best in the business! That is why you should hire Attorney Renee A. Read.

Remley Law

I highly recommend attorney Read and Remley Law in general. Read was proactive and anticipated everything in advance and also intuitively knew how much to lean on the other party to get the job done and not blow up the entire negotiations. Remley has also taken over my business needs and I couldn...'t be more pleased.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
