Highest recommendation

I hired David to resolve a dispute between myself and an independent contractor. He was very knowledgeable in this area, and developed a solid legal theory. His 30+ years of experience showed, and the matter was resolved to my great satisfaction through mediation and post-mediation negotiations. In a...ddition to his expertise, I appreciated his patience, honesty, willingness to go to bat for me (and take a more aggressive stance when one was called for), and to counsel me on potential short- and long-term consequences. I also appreciated that he was willing to work with me on my limited budget, so I did a lot of the detail work on my own. He also found an amazing paralegal which helped us go through reams of discovery at top speed. In strategy, I think it was fitting that he was more cautious as my attorney and I was more aggressive as a client. He was great about talking things through with me, and pursuing more aggressive stances when appropriate.

Dedicated, honest, and an expert in corporate, company, and business matters

My attorney David helped execute a thorough, solid, and well planned and thought out LLC Operational Agreement which included three members with unique backgrounds and perspectives. He addressed all of our individual needs and concerns in a fashion where we all came to a reasonable agreement as he w...as an excellent listener and was able to eloquently draft up exactly the type of operational agreement we were hoping for. In addition, on the fly as a few new needs arose within the company, he created an integral addendum that served us well. He not only is a sharp and professional attorney, David is also a caring, down-to-earth person, one in which you can relate to as an upright and good person.

Review of David Reed

I have known David Reed for over twenty years. During that time, he has demonstrated his deep knowledge of the law, his high integrity and his compassion for his clients in their quest for justice. I have referred clients to David and they have all been very pleased and complimentary. If you have ...the need for legal services, do not hesitate to retain the services of David E. Reed.

Posted by Pete | March 06, 2012 | Divorce & Separation

Partnership Problem

My partner decided we weren't partners anymore. I wanted an experienced attorney who would take the time to study and understand my case, which was very complex. I know I was lucky to find Mr. Reed. He has remained thoughtful and sensitive to my needs while moving the case forward as expeditiously as... possible. He also continues to advocate for the most cost effective solution rather than one which puts his financial interest above mine. Dealing with Mr. Reed feels like working with a friend. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Litigation lawyer | Mar 20

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Reed opposed me in litigation involving a highly complicated and emotionally charged case between siblings who were co-owners of an on-going family corporation in the Puget Sound area. He provided exceptionally high quality legal representation for his client, always keeping in mind the need to keep the emotions and hard feelings that these siblings were feeling as the case progressed. He communicated with me at all times in a professional and courteous manner. Through his efforts we ultimately settled the case to the joint satisfaction of both of our clients. It was a pleasure to work with him on this interesting case."

"I am a commercial arbitrator. David appeared before me in a limited partnership dissolution dispute. He was congenial, cooperative and, at the same time, vigorously represented his client. He writes very well, his examination and cross-examination of witnesses was excellent and his oral arguments well organized, concise and to the point. Having had many, many lawyers appear before me, I can unequivocally rate him among the best and heartily endorse him to prospective clients."
