Steven Reed helped me when I was in a difficult situation with high potential risks. I was impressed that he exhibited compassion to all parties and that he immediately brought concerns to my attention that I wasn't previously aware of. The entire team was professional and responsive which gave me great peace of mind. The situation was resolved to my satisfaction.

I retained Mr. Reed several years back in a child custody dispute. I was very impressed with Mr. Reed's responsiveness and effectiveness. He was tough as nails when he needed to be and offered honest opinion on how to resolve the dispute in the best interest of the child. I would recommend him to anyone, especially for fathers. His rates were also very reasonable.

Mr. Reed and his team are professional and prompt working with my case. I highly recommend their firm for divorce proceedings. They are kind and patient as well as quick to answer any questions that you may have.

I found working with Steve and his firm a "pleasure", which seems strange, given the circumstances of a surprise divorce. I trusted Steve's knowledge because he proved again and again that he was trustworthy. For example, he had to advise the lawyer that looked after the filing that it had been filed in the wrong county - a mistake that, if not caught, would have resulted in me still being legally married. One needs to file in the county one lives. He advised on important clauses and asked the questions I needed to ponder in order to arrive at a JOD that I could live with. While Mr. Reed was kind, courteous and warm, I do not recommend Mr. Reed as a therapist; he is a very thorough lawyer and can be relied on to do that job extremely well. Further Jamie and Taylor were friendly, respectful and positive as was everyone I encountered in the office. John was a sheer delight despite what I'm imagining is a difficult job at times. I have recommended this firm and lawyer to friends that are serious about wanting things handled well and expediently. I truly concur with what I've heard from numerous people - both parties need to pick knowledgable, non litigious lawyers who are looking for solutions and collaboration if they want to reduce expenditures and increase ease. I only wish there had been two lawyers of the same calibre in my case.. Thank you Steve and team! I really feel like I lucked out.

Divorce is a difficult thing, even an amicable one, especially with two minor children involved. Steve took me through the process with a thorough understanding of family law and laid out exactly what I could expect and how to get there in a no-nonsense approach at a reasonable price point. His associate Kaylon was also very responsive to my questions and handled my filing with professionalism.

I came to Steve after making the difficult decision to get divorced. My case was not a complicated one, but he personally made sure that everything went perfectly. His entire staff treated me with utmost courtesy and were always available to answer every question that I had. I can't recommend these people highly enough.

I met Steve at one of the lowest and hardest times in my life. My ex-husband was trying to take my daughter from me and I thought I had no hope. Steve gave me hope. He was willing to tackle every barrier we had. He wasn't willing to sit back and watch my daughter suffer. He didn't just fight for me but my daughter. Thank you!

Steve Reed is an extraordinary attorney and that is an understatement!! My divorce was extremely contentious with many many games played by the other side. Steve protected me legally, financially and supported me emotionally. Not only is Steve an extraordinary attorney but an extraordinary person. Steve was always available when I needed help. On a few occasions it was an emergency situation and Steve responded literally within 1-2 minutes. Steve is professional, ethical, knowledgeable and honest. I was always informed so that I could make the best decisions regarding my case. However, I highly encourage everyone to pay close attention to Steve's recommendations as he is never wrong. Steve was able to anticipate all the games the other side played and protected me every time. Steve does not play legal games as he is a master of the law and therefore, he does not waste your money. Steve was able to keep my legal fees very low considering the other side spent outrageous amounts of money. Steve is a highly respected by attorneys, Judges and Judicial staff. The court is well aware of Steve's integrity which makes the legal process much smoother. Steve is an attorney that is able to handle every situation with integrity. Steve is excellent at negotiating, practical in options to protect his clients finances and unbeatable when action is necessary. Steve always puts his client and their best interest first. The outcome of my divorce was better than I hoped or expected. I am so grateful for Steve's legal expertise; I was able to make decisions in complete confidence because of this expertise and experience. I was devastated by this divorce but with Steve's guidance I was able to overcome the hardships and find a path forward to begin an amazing future. There are not enough words to express my gratitude to this amazing attorney and firm. Everyone at Reed Law Group are wonderful, professional and caring people. Kaylon is also an attorney at Reed Law Group and she is fantastic too!! Smart, kind and knowledgeable of the law. Jamie, John and Kerry make up the rest of the team and they too are just as outstanding. Wether your divorce is simple, somewhat difficult or contentious you will be protected legally, financially and truly cared about by the Reed Law Group. I am on a path to creating a wonderful, rewarding and joyful future because of these amazing people.

I made the mistake of hiring a different attorney to represent me at the start of my contentious divorce. This attorney while very competent was not aggressive enough for what turned out to be a high conflict divorce. Switching to Steve was the best decision I made. He had a great strategy for my case and implemented it extremely well. Even though my case was extremely difficult he was able to position us well and the case ended up settling in mediation. I was extremely happy with the work Steve and everyone at his firm did. His prices are very fair for the area and the service you get in return is top notch! Steve responds to emails right away and even returned my call on the 4th of July when there was an emergency. I cannot say enough good things about Steve. Do yourself a favor and hire his firm first! A major bonus is consultations with this firm are FREE which is not true for most other firms in the area. At my consultation with Steve he listened attentively, took notes, and laid out a strategy for my case.
