Richard D Reed's Lawyer Endorsements
"There aren't enough great adjectives to describe Richard as an attorney and as a person. I've know him virtually my entire career - he was one of my first mentors when I moved to Seattle to practice employment law in 1995. He's passionate about his work and very respectful of his clients. I admire his intellect and feel grateful for the lessons he passed on to me. Any victim of employment discrimination would be in good hands with Richard."
"Richard is a fabulous lawyer, with a remarkable mind for the law and a big heart for his clients. He is a zealous advocate and works tirelessly to promote justice. It was a great pleasure to work with Richard. "
