Mr. Reid was referred to me by the CLEAR program. I was able to schedule my consultation for the same week I called. Mr. Reid demonstrated a solid understanding of bankruptcy law and its complicated process. He was also very good at explaining said law and process in a way easy to understand. He and his staff are efficient with paperwork and communication, keeping good track of documents, dates, and time. Mr. Reid was prepared and punctual for each meeting and hearing scheduled. On a personal level, he is a nice person with which you can speak to in a regular conversation, which I found comforting during the bankruptcy process. I strongly recommend Mr. Reid's services.
