Merlin L. Reed Jr

Merlin L. Reed, Jr. did nothing to properly represent me in my divorce. I gave him stacks of documentation on my behalf, but he never reviewed any of it. He was never prepared on any of our court appearances. I provided Mr. Reed with my monthly income and expenses for a 6 month period. None of it... was ever presented to the court. He was agreeable to my former husband receiving spousal support plus half of my retirement account, while retaining his retirement account as sole and separate property. I dug through old tax returns and provided Mr. Reed with the evidence that my former husband's retirement account was community property. The end result is a simple divorce over nothing in the way of community assets cost me over $11,000 and took over a year to settle. I am forced to pay spousal support each month, which I cannot afford. I had to sell my home and now renting at a much higher amount. I would not recommend him.
