Hired Attorney 2024-2025This is my third time working with Attorney Abbey Forde at Bull & Reinhardt, and I continue to be absolutely blown away by the quality of service, care, and professionalism she provides. Abbey's ability to explain complex matters clearly, anticipate what’s needed, and protect your best interests is unmatched. She is not only incredibly intelligent, thorough, and well-versed in family law - she’s one of the most effective and trustworthy attorneys I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with attorneys who’ve had decades and decades of experience, and Abbey and her team surpasses them on every level. Abbey is the kind of attorney who truly goes above and beyond - not just in her legal expertise, but in the way she treats her clients as real people. Most recently, she helped me draft a special warranty deed and property settlement agreement, and once again she delivered with efficiency, clarity, and precision. She made what could have been a stressful or confusing process feel completely manageable and was patient with me while I asked a lot of questions and talked through all considerations with her. Abbey is fast to respond, incredibly detailed, and deeply thoughtful in her approach - with both emotional and legal intelligence. She’s someone who makes you feel heard, supported, and confident throughout the legal process. I love that I can be 100% honest with her and know that there will be no judgement whatsoever. Her legal assistant, Adam, and the entire team are also warm, organized, and very easy to work with. When I worked with Abbey for an extended period last year, she took a well-deserved week off - and during that time when I needed assistance, her colleagues at Bull & Reinhardt stepped up seamlessly. They answered my questions promptly and even met with me in their office to handle signatures. It was clear that this firm truly operates as a supportive, well-coordinated team. If you need a family law attorney, I can’t recommend Abbey Forde enough. She’s sharp, compassionate, honest, and truly committed to your well-being and outcome. I will continue to return to Abbey for any legal needs in the future - because I know I’ll be in the very best hands with her and her team.
