Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Read understood the difficulties of a difficult divorce. He maintained a level of professionalism and understanding that was able to set my mind at ease. My particular divorce was complicated as we were negotiating child custody. Mr. Read was honest, responsive and prepared in court. Mr.Read's hard work and diligence exceeded my expectations. I owe Mr.Read my eternal gratitude to what he has given me and my children. I would recommend Mr.Read for any and all legal matters without hesitation.
My husband & I met with Attorney Read to discuss Special Needs Trusts for our two autistic young adult sons and wills for ourselves. After listening to our worries & fears for them and what we wanted to see happen, he recommended a much easier solution that would not only still protect our 2 boys and their services but also prove beneficial to us and our daughter. Although our use of his services is still in the infant stage, my husband & I found our time spent with him informative.
Art has been my personal attorney for over 30 years, and I have always found him responsive, sympathetic,with an excellent ability to get to quickly and resolve the core issues in any situation I have presented to him over the years.{para}I would also add he does not string along clients as to the expense of his legal representation, if he says this is going to cost x to resolve then that is what it will be, If he has a flaw it is in his trusting nature, and under collection of up front monies
i have found Mr. Read to be the most professional attorney that I have every dealt with. He is extremely though and do not mind going the extra mile for his clients. I have never had any problems or concerns with Mr. Read's performance. He and his staff are the reason I continue to seek him out when necessary.
When I needed a lawyer to represent me in a divorce and child support issue Mr. Read was there for me. He handled the situation professionally and the outcome was to my satisfaction as there were life estate issues to deal with. He made the necessary contacts and steered me in the right direction throughout.
Lacks drive and aggressiveness.
