Lawyer review

I found Ms. Reed very professional, while maintaining that human touch that helped to ease my stress during a difficult time as she pursued my case. I felt like she genuinely cared about what I had been through and her patience with my many questions through the process was greatly appreciated.

You're in Good Hands!

Celia helped me navigate through the dissolution of a business partnership. She is able to see through the "muck" and provide the needed legal support. She is timely, sharp and persistent. And somehow is able to provide a laugh or two, she is serious but doesn't take herself too seriously, and tha...t is refreshing!

GREAT lawyer, Thank you

Celia gave me a Prompt answer also accurate. Defiantly a recommended lawyer!!!

Posted by Alicia | June 1, 2010

Professional, courteous, and prompt!

Celia helped me to create my first contract with a vendor. As a new consultant, I didn't have any idea what I should or shouldn't include in the contract, or even what questions to ask. Celia was professional as well as supportive - the result was a contract that helped me to have a clearly defined w...orking relationship with my vendor. I would use Celia's services again in a heart beat.

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.
