Satisfied Client

I found Mr Reed on this website after I had to fire the council I had before him due to incompetence. 1 lawyer had failed me so my trust that any lawyer would actually do a great job was minimal. Mr Reed and his law firm did an excellent job. My case was a high profile case with a professional athlet...e, not that it matters as I'm sure his professionalism and great work applies to all his clients. My point is his law firm had to clean up the mess my 1st lawyer made and they worked hard to do so. I am 100% thankful I found him. My case ended with me being satisfied and not feeling like I was taken advantage of. Phone calls were returned promptly, I received all paperwork in a timely fashion. This experience gave me faith that there are good lawyers who take their job serious.

Quality Representation Best in Class!

I called Bryan after a so called "men's rights" attorney forced me to settle my case leaving me bitter and bankrupt both emotionally and financially. During my initial consultation a year before I hired him, he gave me solid advice and I was in a better position when I retained him a year later. I wa...s working in New York as my case was starting and my family and I were hit by Hurricane Sandy and I my home was devastated. Unable to reach me, Bryan fought for me against my ex-wife and her attorney to have my case delayed and two weeks later when he finally reach me he asked how my wife and family were being more like a friend that a lawyer. I trust Bryan, he is a great attorney and a better person. I won my case and Bryan even got the judge to reverse some of the settlement my former attorney convinced me to sign. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how very happy to recommend Bryan Reed as an attorney. You will be hard pressed to find a better attorney or person.

Quality Representation from Bryan V Reed

I have used Bryan V Reed consistently over the last 9 years for my divorce and related items. I have always felt he was addressing my concerns and listening to my needs in a timely manner. Several times I have needed to respond to issues related to items related to the divorce and life changes with... only 2-3 weeks to respond and he has been able to address all issues and ensure my rights were protected. I would highly recommend Bryan V Reed.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Dec 10

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."
