Perfect Gentleman
Mr. Reich helped me through a very difficult time. His integrity is unmatched. He is very well informed, honest and straight forward. He stuck to the facts, yet was compassionate and understanding when needed. I am grateful that he was able to help me out when needed. Thanks.

Mr Reich handled my case with respect for me and my family as though the issues were as personable to him as they were to me.To this day I am truly amazed and grateful for all his hard work. My family is better off for having met and worked with Mr Reich.
