Testimonial
"Erin Reid came recommended to me by another member of the legal community at a time when life fell apart right under me.
Over the seven years it took to resolve my family law matter, Erin stood with me every step of the way. She is approachable, relatable, extremely knowledgeable and competent when navigating the family law system regarding access, support and property issues. Every question was answered and responded to quickly, explanations regarding the process were outlined for me, and she and her staff kept me involved and informed at every step. Her compassion and honesty throughout the entire process were truly appreciated. She knew my hoped-for outcomes and kept those at the forefront. Her ability to 'read the room' and know when to push and when to sit back demonstrated her skill at negotiating and allowed for opportunities for resolution.
Erin, thank you to both you and your entire team for the hours of work you put forth on my behalf and for navigating this journey with me.
I would not hesitate to recommend Erin should anyone need a competent, approachable, and caring legal professional."
