Harry Mervin Reynolds's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am a retired Deputy D.A., with 34 years of daily experience in the criminal court system. I was the D.D.A. in the Mojave branch of the East Kern Superior Court for 22 years. I knew Mr. Reynolds for every one of those 22 years, and he and I handled many cases together, including several jury trials. Over the course of my 34 years as a prosecutor, I dealt with hundreds of defense attorneys .Harry always was well prepared on every one of his cases, and I can not say that about every attorney I encountered. Harry was always professional and courteous. He was always ready to point out to me the perceived weaknesses in my case, and to listen to what I thought were the strengths of my case. Harry always filed whatever motions were relevant to the case. Sometimes, Harry won a dismissal, sometimes a reduced charge, and sometimes we had to go to jury trial. Even for the most guilty of clients, Harry was able to get the lightest sentence possible."
"Mr. Reynolds is a very thorough, knowledgeable attorney. He regularly keeps up with upcoming DUI defense trends and issues by attending seminars with speakers from the best experts in the United States. Further, he has a very calm, patient demeanor that many clients have found comforting while Mr. Reynolds negotiates the storm of court hearings. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Reynolds."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have know Harry Reynolds for over 25 years. I consider him a lawyer of the highest quality. He is an excellent advocate for his clients with a thorough knowledge of the law. I recommend him highly."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Mr. Reynolds for many years, as I am fellow criminal defense attorney. He is absolutely dedicated to the needs of his clients and finding the best results in their situation. He's innovative, aggressive, and relentless when representing someone. He knows more than the judge whom he appears before (though not exposing so) 5 stars *****"
"I endorse this lawyer. I have know Harry for over 20 years. We have worked together as counsel for co-defendants on several cases. I have the highest regard for Harry professional knowledge and conduct."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Reynolds is an exceptionally talented and effective advocate in criminal cases. He is knowledgeable, experienced and will always fight to protect the rights of his clients."
"I have known Mr. Reynolds as a fellow attorney for more than 30 years. For approximately 10 years we worked together in the same office. I thus am well acquainted with Mr. Reynolds and his commitment to represent his clients at the highest level of criminal defense. I recommend Mr. Reynolds without reservation to any person charged in any criminal matter."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Reynolds is a hard-working conscientious advocate. He presents himself extremely well in a courtroom and vigorously defends his clients. I have known him for over 20 years and have always been impressed. I heartily endorse him."
"Harry Reynolds is truly a lawyer for all four seasons. Harry is a "warrior" - and knows how to try cases. Harry is also wise - and knows when to compromise - and when to stand fast. Tehachapi and Kern County is fortunate to have such a talented and forthright attorney serving the community. I endorse this lawyer."
