A native Washingtonian (though born in San Francisco), Reed grew up in Walla Walla eating copious amounts of fresh corn and sweet onions. A competitive swimmer in his youth, he competed up through university, that great athletic prowess paying dividends into old age as he has also competed in Ironmans, once even finishing with an impressive 30 minutes short of the course cut-off time (he was not dead last, a victory in itself).

Reed received his undergraduate degree at the University of Washington, has studied abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia, and earned his law degree from the University of Oregon. Reed considers it more than a privilege to be a lawyer, but a calling and a duty.

People seek lawyers when they have important problems to solve or complex issues to discuss, but do not have the skillset to understand legal procedure and our complicated system of laws. That skillset provides access to a system that unfortunately is only accessible to those who have the means, a flaw Reed takes issue with.

So no matter what a client’s background, Reed will always take the time to listen and consider a client’s needs. Sometimes the pursuit of justice supersedes any other concern.

Reed is an active member and in good standing in the following bar associations: Washington State Bar Association, Western District of Washington, and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Reed is also a past or present member of the King County Bar Associations, Washington State Trial Attorneys, American Bar Association, Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and American Immigration Lawyers Association.

In his personal life, Reed enjoys Russian language and literature, hiking, biking, camping, playing guitar and spending time with his family.
