Happy with Mark Reed

Don’t know of anyone that looks forward to finding and working with an attorney, much less for a divorce. First, there’s the cost factor, then there’s the long and gory details and finally there’s the reality of where you actually stand in the state of California. Mark’s prices are fair and he make...s time for his client. He has been sympathetic, positive, knowledgeable, tactful and very patient. His written documentation is masterful and brilliant. He has been an important part in my getting through this litigation while retaining a decent stress level.

Great Lawyer

Mark Reed was my lawyer and guided me through my divorce. I couldn't have gotten a better lawyer and I am so grateful for his guidance and legal knowledge during this process. He was quick to respond to any questions I had during my divorce. He helped me navigate the paperwork when my ex prolonged th...e process and denied medical help for our daughter. Mark Reed's legal knowledge was tremendous against the unscrupulous lawyer, my ex had hired. Every hurdle, delay and sneaky ploy that the other party tried to play was swiftly dealt with. Mark Reed ensured that my divorce was fair, and I got what I was entitled to. If you want a no-nonsense lawyer that will be straight with you and tell you how it is and fight for what you are entitled to, then Mark Reed is the lawyer for you.

Highly Recommended Lawyer!

Mark efficiently navigated a complex divorce for me. Always quick to respond and keeps everything on track. He was able to layout a clear strategy and execute on it. Great lawyer, I highly recommend!

Don’t let his years of experience fool you

Mark Reed did a terrible job representing me very unprofessional which was noted by the judge had zero knowledge of my case when he had 3 months to prepare for it so in turn had to fire Mark and Hire a reputable law firm who ironically takes on many dissatisfied clients of Mark Reed ( I also found ou...t he botched my friends divorce case 15 years ago too!)

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.
