The BEST lawyer!

I hired Mark for my bankruptcy case in 2012 and most recently for my divorce. I went through a very ugly divorce as my wife was bipolar. She and her family hired a high profile attorney and they used every dirty trick in the book from a restraining order to CPS to take our 3 year old daughter away fr...om me for their financial gains while attempting to cover up her diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Mark was able to get me full physical and legal custody of our 3 year old daughter through all of it. This was very important for her safety and well being. Just a month prior to our divorce our daughter had a near death drowning experience under the care of her mother and I was not willing to gamble with her life. Mark was very supportive during the most difficult time of my life and continues to be because he genuinely cares. He’s a lawyer with a heart not a lawyer who will take advantage of you for financial gains like most others that I have experienced and have heard of. When it comes to cost he is very fair. He did not bill me for a lot of things that he easily could have and definitely deserves every penny he earns. What I like most about Mark is that he is brutally honest. He tells you how it is. He is NOT a salesman! Most lawyers will sell you on things and make promises even though it may not be in your best interest but because it is in their best interest financially. My wife’s attorney claimed to be the “dean of divorce”. She spent nearly double what I did with absolutely nothing to show for it. Mark outsmarted and outclassed the so called dean in every possible way and at half the price. I highly recommend retaining Mark’s services. He may not have good taste in professional sports teams, but he is the very best at what he does. Mark Reed and his office are the navy seals of law and he is the gold medalist of lawyers! Whether you believe me or not I highly suggest a free consult. Thanks and good luck!

Wonderful Attorney

My husband and I came to Mark Reed’s office 8 years ago for a bankruptcy case and were extremely impressed with the services we received. We worked directly with Mark Warren who walked us through this very stressful process and were very happy with the results. Because of this , we came back for othe...r legal matters including my father’s living trust, a family member’s custody case and most recently tax issues. In each case, Mark was always very knowledgeable and patient , which for me was paramount. I would recommend this firm to anyone .

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.
