Law Office of Merlin L. Reed

Mr. Reed and Lea Williams are extremely professional but with a personal touch that many law offices don't have. They are an incredible team that made one of the worst times of my life turn for the better. Merlin Reed is an attorney that you want on your side as his years of practice and knowledge speaks volumes. Lea is not only super responsive but they both care about their clients and individual cases. I am so glad I found this law office and couldn't be happier with the service/ results.

Merlin and his legal assistant Lea are both the type of professionals you need for something as complex as child custody. They are very attentive to your needs as a client, incredibly knowledgeable in all aspects of family law and they go the extra mile to get the best possible result for you and your children. If I had family or friends in the Ventura County area who were going through custody issues, I would definitely refer them to Mr Reed.

Mr. Merlin and his legal assistant Lea Williams have been extremely professional and yet still have a very unique personal touch. They make your case individualized for your very best interest and outcome. If you are looking for a family law attorney ( especially in Ventura County) then Mr. Merlin is the best you can ask for. He has been practicing here for over 30 years and has shown me his incredible knowledge if the ins and outs of the laws in great depth.

So thankful for Mr. Reed and Lea his legal assistant. They were both very attentive, supportive and oranized from the very beginning and throughout the entire process. From the very beginning Mr. Reed was very encouraging and helped ease a lot of anxiety and frustration we had regarding our case. Mr. Reed and his legal assistant were on top of everything and made sure it was a smooth process for us. We are so grateful and we highly recommended him and his services!

If I had had Merlin Reed from the beginning of my divorce, I would have been SO MUCH BETTER SERVED, and my financial outcome would have been SO much more beneficial to me. Merlin "knows" how to research case studies to effectively argue his clients position. Even more..,"he genuinely cares"! If you are looking for that truly GREAT attorney, LOOK NO FURTHER than "Merlin Reed"!! I write this review from a profoundly "honest, highly educated" point of view and opinion.

Mr Reed makes you feel comfortable unlike so many lawyers. He fought for the well being of my children and myself. I would recommend him highly to anyone who has to deal with the nightmare of child custody.

Some attorney time spent, without client, seemed obviously excessive. Little recourse but to pay and accept the situation.

I continued to contact his office to find out if my paperwork had been filed yet and was told REPEATEDLY that it was up to the courthouse when it was filed and there was nothing they could do to expedite it. After almost 2 months, I contacted the courthouse and was told I could walk in and file on the spot.
