Attorney McInvale—Reid to clients and friends—seemed destined for a law career. Born at the university hospital while his father was attending Emory University Law School, Reid grew up in Manchester, GA.

Reid was great in listening to the whole complicated situation with my divorce, finding a plan forward, and executing. During trial for orders, he asked the right questions to myself and my ex to show the truth of the situation, and got favorable results for what I was fighting for. He is no nonsense...
