John Eric Reed

My son and two friends were arrested for taking a golf cart for a joy ride in Irving, TX after drinking a few beers. Mr. Reed represented my son and one of the other boys, both aged 20. He worked with the City of Irving and the County of Dallas prosecutors to convince them that no one was endangered by this activity and that it would not happen again. Both young men were given community hours, put on probation, and the charges were dropped. Mr. Reed clearly explained the laws that were violated and the possible consequences. He kept us informed at every step along the way. What I liked best, however, was that he made it clear to my son and his friend that the matter was serious and the next occurrence of something similar would be even more so. There was no "candy coating".
