I cannot recommend Bryan strongly enough. Both his understanding of the law and his compassion for our case were without parallel in my experience. Bryan instills confidence in his clients and commands respect from all others.

My Ex wife filed for divorce while in Chicago in 2000 as I was in Arizona. Running out of time to respond I immediately located Bryan through Lawyers.com. He took full charge as he was a relatively new attorney at the time.He handled the situation in a most professional manner to both parties involved and my children are better adults now thanks to a amicable divorce. thanks again Bryan..

I feel incredibly grateful and lucky to have Bryan as my lawyer. He truly understands me and my difficult situation, and works tirelessly on my case, making sure my children and I are taken care of. I trust Bryan and I know that he has my children and my own best interests in mind. I very highly recommend Bryan as your attorney!

Bryan, came to me as a recommendation from a lawyer referral company. I was skeptical at first because, like so many things I have done recently, this was new territory to me. I had been married for 26 years to some one who over time degraded and demoralized me. Not only did Bryan lead me to see all the ramifications of taking different paths within the case he supported me with sympathy to my cause and encouragement when I felt lost in the process. He is not only a excellent lawyer, but a good human being as well. This is a combination you don't see often in any business let alone legal matters. I would highly recommend using him for any separation or divorce process you are going through, he truly is the best I've seen.

I had been pressing for termination of support to my ex-wife in Canada since my recent retirement, with little success. A lawyer in Canada suggested I have the case moved to the court in Illinois. Bryan was recommended to me by an attorney friend. Bryan saw this as an interesting and challenging case. He immediately moved to have the case heard in Illinois. He gave my wife and I an honest and frank list of possible outcomes, something we very much appreciated. His hard bargaining with my ex-wife's lawyer led to them capitulating, and offering an agreement to termination of support plus a cash payout. I was extremely grateful at the outcome. Whenever possible he used a more junior lawyer to help keep our costs down. Working with him was a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend him to others.

I found Mr Reed on this website after I had to fire the council I had before him due to incompetence. 1 lawyer had failed me so my trust that any lawyer would actually do a great job was minimal. Mr Reed and his law firm did an excellent job. My case was a high profile case with a professional athlete, not that it matters as I'm sure his professionalism and great work applies to all his clients. My point is his law firm had to clean up the mess my 1st lawyer made and they worked hard to do so. I am 100% thankful I found him. My case ended with me being satisfied and not feeling like I was taken advantage of. Phone calls were returned promptly, I received all paperwork in a timely fashion. This experience gave me faith that there are good lawyers who take their job serious.

As an attorney myself, I had high standards when searching for someone to represent me in my divorce. Bryan and his team not only met but exceeded all of my expectations. Bryan will fight for you when it is warranted, but he doesn't needlessly create tension or controversy. He handled several difficult issues in my case with great skill and was successful in every regard. Bryan truly cares about his clients and getting the best possible result in a cost effective manner. His fees were fair and reasonable and worth every penny. Bryan's excellent representation gave me piece of mind during a very difficult time and I will forever be grateful.

Bryan Reed helped me through one of the toughest situations a person can experience in life - divorce! Bryan is very knowledgeable of the law with over 22 years of trial experience, but most importantly, Bryan is knowledgeable in the realities of life. He understands that divorce and other family matters are difficult situations for his clients and he is sensitive to his clients' needs. Bryan establishes a rapport with his clients, is mostly available when you need him (if not, he returns calls promptly) and communicates openly and honestly. Bryan is straightforward and fair and is always going to tell you the truth whether you want to hear it or not. You can count on him to help you navigate through the toughest time in your life.

I could tell immediately that Bryan is the "real deal." He is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to win. Bryan is your champion and will work hand-in-glove with you, always ensuring your satisfaction throughout the process. I've experienced this first hand in my own custody battle. He knows his space and delivers. Along with being a top notch attorney, one of his biggest qualities is that he actually cares. Bryan will get the job done.
