I called Derek requesting a consultation about a multifamily property that I was about to get under contract. One of the long term tenants had no lease but lots of privileges that the seller was not willing to curtail. Derek helped me see the difference between being risky and irresponsible. I just found my landlord attorney. Derek - I also asked my real estate attorney (Terri Nitti) to refer her clients to you when they have landlord tenant matters. Thank you

I was truly in a jam with an eviction matter. I had an attorney through a work plan who insisted no evictions were taking place due to covid! Derek gave me a couple of suggestions and it worked and the person left within 4 days. I was thrilled!

He does not even review the documents I sent and all he cares is to get us to sign retention agreement: what is the point for free consultation if you do not even review material? How do I even know you are right lawyer for our case?

Mr. Reed has represented us on numerous landlord cases over the past few years. His skill as an attorney is exceptional. Mr. Reed is very easy to correspond with and he understands the cares and concerns of landlords. His knowledge of the law is extensive. We are extremely satisfied with the service he has provided over the years and would recommend to other landlords.

My company is a large regional Commercial Real Estate Property Owner. Derek and his firm have handled numerous Landlord Tenant cases for our company over the past 5 years dealing with issues ranging from basic landlord tenant matters, to major capital improvements applications, to settlement of lawsuits. Derek has been very successful in producing outcomes for our company which have been optimal and he has always been very diligent in handling our case work. We operate our business in a very regulated environment having to deal with municipal, State and federal jurisdictional issues and Derek has always helped us navigate complex regulatory matters. I've had the pleasure of attending a few of Derek's seminars on Fair Housing and the New Jersey Apartment Association convention in Atlantic City and I've found his seminars to be highly insightful. I would highly recommend Derek to handle your case.

Derek Reed has been helpful and supportive above and beyond my expectations. I feel I can trust him in all manners and that with every meeting I am receiving top quality work and incite which helps me to have a higher confidence not only in him but in myself as well.

I have worked with Derek Reed for a number of years, most recently representing us in complex litigation against a municipal ordinance, arguing constitutional and statutory defects. Mr. Reed impressed me by his strategic thinking, organizational abilities, and, of course, his ability effectively to navigate the legal process. Additionally, he showed political acumen and the ability to work nicely with other professionals who were also engaged in the matter. It has been truly a pleasure to work with Mr. Reed and I can sincerely recommend him without any reservations.

Derek was knowledgable and efficient. He handle need my landlord/ tenant issue in a very professional manner. He was able to help evict tenants and recover a portion of the money owed.

Derek has been very responsive to my needs as a landlord. When I was sued by a tenant, the guidance and representation of Derek proved to be very valuable and was instrumental to a judgment in my favor. He has customized a thorough and useful lease for use with my investment properties. And he and his colleagues have provided very good advice regarding matters relating my other small business investments. He was recommended to me by another RE investor and I have in turn recommended him to others.

Derek Reed was referred to me. I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently my needs were met, while being kept informed from process inception to completion.

As a senior housing nonprofit, meeting tenants in court is a delicate endeavor. Derek maintained the highest levels of professionalism while successfully resolving a difficult case in our favor after years of failed attempts by others. He is obviously well-regarded in the courtroom, and his knowledge and experience made the difference in our case. Additionally, he was a helpful source of reassurance and support to our staff during a prolonged time of stress. I absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for landlord tenant issues.

Mr. Reed is extremely knowledgeable in Landlord/Tenant law in the state of NJ. He has always been the utmost professional. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
