This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Phenomenal Representation

Excellent representation for an international child support and custody case, first in 2010 and then again in 2021-2023. The team under Bryan Reed is professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and thorough. Reed Centracchio and Associates is honorable and represents with great integrity which is very i...mportant to me. I have always felt supported during the process, even though at times the case almost broke me. I felt confident from day 1 that we made the right decisions and arguments not only with class and respect but also with strength and authority. It is difficult to navigate through a lengthy, trying and exhausting court battle but this team is phenomenal at what they do. I cannot thank them enough for representing me.

Great choice for an attorney

I cannot recommend Bryan strongly enough. Both his understanding of the law and his compassion for our case were without parallel in my experience. Bryan instills confidence in his clients and commands respect from all others.

WAY BACK

My Ex wife filed for divorce while in Chicago in 2000 as I was in Arizona. Running out of time to respond I immediately located Bryan through Lawyers.com. He took full charge as he was a relatively new attorney at the time.He handled the situation in a most professional manner to both parties involve...d and my children are better adults now thanks to a amicable divorce. thanks again Bryan..

Excellent Lawyer!

I feel incredibly grateful and lucky to have Bryan as my lawyer. He truly understands me and my difficult situation, and works tirelessly on my case, making sure my children and I are taken care of. I trust Bryan and I know that he has my children and my own best interests in mind. I very highly r...ecommend Bryan as your attorney!

Just the best

Bryan, came to me as a recommendation from a lawyer referral company. I was skeptical at first because, like so many things I have done recently, this was new territory to me. I had been married for 26 years to some one who over time degraded and demoralized me. Not only did Bryan lead me to see ...all the ramifications of taking different paths within the case he supported me with sympathy to my cause and encouragement when I felt lost in the process. He is not only a excellent lawyer, but a good human being as well. This is a combination you don't see often in any business let alone legal matters. I would highly recommend using him for any separation or divorce process you are going through, he truly is the best I've seen.

"When evaluating an attorney to represent your interests, intelligence and knowledge, experience, and integrity are probably the most important factors. I have never met an attorney who surpasses Bryan in any of these areas. I can not offer enough praise for Bryan as an attorney and a person so I will simply say that whenever a client, family, or anyone has needed representation in the area of family law, no other attorney has ever been, or will be considered."

Relationship: Friend

"I believe trustworthiness and competence are among the most important character traits in a lawyer. These traits not only led me to entrust Bryan with numerous matters over the years, but have also led to partnership and co-counsel relationships with Bryan over the past two decades. Bryan has the wisdom to know when to explore settlement, and the tenacity to fight to the end for his clients whenever necessary. His attention to detail make him a formidable adversary in the courtroom. He is highly respected by his peers, and I am proud to call him my colleague and friend."
