Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024If you?re looking for a lawyer, who really puts in the time and dedication into your case, definitely talk to Reid and see what he can do for you! I talked to several lawyers before I chose him I currently have three domestic violence allegations against me. One being a felony and he has done a great job working with the DA to try and get rid of the felony charge and to possibly drop my other charges if not get them dismissed. And he will always email or call you back as soon as you contact him really do appreciate all the hard work you put in for me. Thank you!!
