This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

No communication, goes behind your back, signs orders you never discussed or agreed with

If I could give zero or even negative stars I would. She ignored about 98% of my phone calls, emails & texts. She made agreements/arrangements with the opposing council, without my knowledge. Then signed an order on my behalf to an order I didn't agree to, nor did I have any say in. I wish I could g...et my time & money back.

Horrible communication

After my initial consult I thought she seemed great and wanted to hire her for my case, but she never called or emailed me back for the retainer. I called several times, left messages and even talked to the paralegal who assured me every time that she would call me back. In the end, I'm very glad I n...ever hired her. If she can't even manage to call me back to take my money, she probably couldn't handle anything else.

Knowledgeable Business Attorney

Reese is an excellent business attorney. She really understands how hard it is to open your own business and she walked me through everything I needed from incorporating to the asset purchase agreement for buying a business. She offers way more than any other business attorney. She is even doing our ...payroll and business taxes. She is the one stop shop for starting a new business!

Avvo Rating

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.
