Federal Attorney

I was referred to him because of his professionalism and expertise in Federal criminal matters. My husband was charged with a federal white collar crime. Mr. Reed handled my husbands case like a pro he worked with all his knowledge was able to get the Government to admit that they had lied on some ...material facts. My case was reduced to the best outcome possible. The federal judge that was on my case only spoke highly of Mr. Reed. He is one if not the only best criminal trial attorney in O.C.

Very Professional Attorney

Excellent attorney. He was able to get all charges completely dismissed. Throughout the process he explained all possible outcomes, the process and exactly what to expect as far as court appearances. I would recommend him to anyone, he handled my case with total professionalism.

Facing 4 Felony counts for Criminal Charges

I was facing 4 felony counts, even dough the charges were blown out of proportion for a self defense case, Mr. Reed was able to prolong the case in order for witnesses and court paper work to be readily available and reviewed in a timely manner by him and myself. I had previously hired a lawyer befor...e Kenneth that only took my money and B.S. me through the majority of the process. I was recommended to Mr. Reed by some of my acquaintance that had issues with the law before, and either able to plea bargain or have the charges reduced or dropped. I was satisfied with the results of my case and was also able to keep my job employment with any loss of time.

Stay away

I understand the uncertainty of the outcome of legal representation. But Mr. Reed failed to appear for the court hearing which resulted a bench warrant issued out to my name. I ended up hiring another attorney to take over the case and I definitely would not recommend Kenneth Reed. He was hard to rea...ch and never seemed to care about the case nor the client. Rather spend little more money and find yourself a lawyer who does care.
