Bryan V. Reed represented me in my case. I can say nothing but great things about him. Always there, always professional - as any of us wish attorney to be. I am so happy he was my attorney and not the opposite side.

I worked with Bryan Reed on a prenuptial agreement and had a very good experience. He was very prompt, knowledgeable, and professional.

I called Bryan after a so called "men's rights" attorney forced me to settle my case leaving me bitter and bankrupt both emotionally and financially. During my initial consultation a year before I hired him, he gave me solid advice and I was in a better position when I retained him a year later. I was working in New York as my case was starting and my family and I were hit by Hurricane Sandy and I my home was devastated. Unable to reach me, Bryan fought for me against my ex-wife and her attorney to have my case delayed and two weeks later when he finally reach me he asked how my wife and family were being more like a friend that a lawyer. I trust Bryan, he is a great attorney and a better person. I won my case and Bryan even got the judge to reverse some of the settlement my former attorney convinced me to sign. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how very happy to recommend Bryan Reed as an attorney. You will be hard pressed to find a better attorney or person.

I have used Bryan V Reed consistently over the last 9 years for my divorce and related items. I have always felt he was addressing my concerns and listening to my needs in a timely manner. Several times I have needed to respond to issues related to items related to the divorce and life changes with only 2-3 weeks to respond and he has been able to address all issues and ensure my rights were protected. I would highly recommend Bryan V Reed.

Bryan Reed and his firm are very knowledgeable, reliable and responsive. We were very happy with the quality representation that we received.

I used Brian for my divorce. I interviewed several different lawyers, and I hired Brian and his group. Brian fought for every I wanted and kept me informed about every step.

In October 2011 I filed a petition for a DNA test in Cook County. A girl I knew, that I was never married to, had just had a baby and I suspected the baby might be my child. The mother had lawyer'd up already. They even refused the court order to even do the DNA test. I found out in December 2011 that I was the father! At that time I knew it was a girl. That's about it. I didn't know if the child was healthy, what her name was, if she was healthy, I didn't even know what she looked like. The mother refused to give me any information. I hired Bryan Reed and his outstanding team in early 2012. Bryan was straight up honest and made no promises as to the potential outcome. He and his team made it clear fighting a custody case can be very difficult and expensive. He believed in me. I honestly believe if I didn't stand a chance to get custody he would have said so. But Bryan felt strongly we had a good case and chance. From his very first appearance in court in my case he produced immediate results. Bryan was able to get me unsupervised visitation, as well overnights to the protest of the mother and her legal team. This case went on for over 2 years. All the while Bryan and his associates were total professionals. The mother was not willing to make any concessions. Meanwhile I had bonded very strongly with my daughter, despite the mother's continued attempts to alienate me from our child. We did settlement meetings with the mothers side. Bryan and his team were very well prepared. Extremely knowledgeable of the laws as well of the particulars in this case. Eventually things came to a head and the mother refused to budge. We even offered the mother sole custody in exchange for a more liberal visitation schedule. She refused to settle. Long, long story short our case got set for trial. Bryan and his team spent weeks getting fully prepared for trial. He had a focus like a laser. Covering every imaginable angle, consulting with me over the smallest details. The day of trial we were ready for 3 days of a sure to be a messy trial. He even brought in 2 of his associates from his legal team (at no charge) to be sure we had the best possible representation. The first day of trial the Judge suggested before we begin that the lawyers have a conference in chamber. Bryan agreed, but felt it might be a waste of time. He agreed to go to chamber and said "be back in 5 minutes." After about an hour and a half they all came back out of chambers. To my amazement, because Bryan was so well prepared and had a clear vision of the timeline of this case, he was able to explain the pertinent points of the case to the judge. Basically when the Judge got back to her bench, she said though she cannot legally pre-determine the case, she was going to recommend we settle on the spot. She recommended the father should get residential custody and a very liberal parenting schedule. By the end of that very day we had a complex parenting agreement done and signed by both sides and the Judge. Had Bryan not been so well prepared, knowledgeable and professional there would have been no way he could have swayed the Judge so dramatically. Needless to say I now have custody and I have Bryan and his team to thank for cementing me in our daughter's life forever. Priceless!!!! If you are looking for someone that will represent you in a family law case I would highly recommend you interview with Bryan Reed. He is a rock star as far as I am concerned!

I hired Bryan after years of an ongoing court battle of personal safety for my child, child visitation issues, and restitution of child support. He immediately took a proactive and aggressive approach to uncover the facts and circumstances and provided the sound advice I needed, even if it was something that I did not necessarily want to hear. He is extraordinarily diligent and took a genuine interest in protecting my rights. His court room demeanor is professional and confident. He knows the law. He is respected by his peers and he maintained his demeanor in every motion, argument, and response which resulted favorably. Like many, my situation was rather complex to say the least and with Bryan at my side, I knew I was receiving the best legal representation. Thank you, Bryan!
