Joel is the goat 🐐 11:11

Runnnnn. 1 star because I had to select something. He's (Joel) is not my lawyer, but I witnessed all this as he WAS my sons representation until getting fired!!!! Pathetic. I don't know what simple cases he's getting any good reviews on, but he's a weak individual and doesn't fight at all, just bows down to the opposing attorneys. Doesn't advise on what is needed. Disrespectful by talking over and cursing to his client... even in the courtroom. He doesn't want to fight for his client. On my sons recommendation, they went to trial for part of this horrible case, Joel definitely didn't want to, and oh, guess what, my son was right and that event went his way and Joel bragged but did admit that he was glad that he took my sons advice and followed thru. There is plenty more, but if you need a lawyer that will fight for you, keep looking.

The lawyer who spoke to me called me a liar told me I didn't have the paperwork I said I did, told me he didn't care if I was domestically abused or lied to by my previous lawyers I should've been smarter and tried harder. But you can't refinance or buy something that is not for sale or in your name, he would ask me questions and when I would try to answer he would yell at me and tell me to stop talking. Fortunately I had all the paperwork and I sent it to him to prove to him that he knows nothing. I missed court eight times and I could prove why every time because I am disabled me I was a liar and didn't care! So I will be sending him more paperwork just to prove that he is a horrible human being. Doesn't even have the decency to apologize for being wrong, very sad they misrepresent themselves as knowing about domestic abuse but he was actually an abuser himself during this consultation, but that's OK I proved him wrong and sent him the paperwork. Horrible just horrible!

Has no clue about trauma response from domestic abuse even told me he didn't care about my abuse or that I am disabled. Called me a liar Said he didn't believe anything I said I wouldn't take a client like me. I exaggerated on how Many times I did something but admitted it was an exaggeration because I did it so many times still called me a liar. So after the consultation of horrors I sent them all the paperwork proving I'm not a liar of course he's not going to respond. He told me I didn't have the emails or anything else and that I just was a liar and he was not going to believe me, But I now emailed him all the paperwork that he said I lied about. So who looks bad now not me. He even went so far As to tell me I shouldn't have listened to my lawyers and a girl up, Horrible horrible experience by somebody who knows nothing about Trauma or the truth. Don't worry I won't hold my breath waiting for an apology even though I've proven them wrong!

Joel Brown and his firm has represented me back in 2017 and again 2025. I called 4 firms. In the beginning our relationship started based on after hour weekend phone call in 2017. He didn't charge me for consultation. If anything he took my case very personal. Again I needed him this year 2025 and again on a weekend after hours... Joel called me personally and just few words he remembered my case and was in disbelief that it was still going... Again Joel didn't charge me a consultation, he did everything in his power to help me... Now I have time with my son. Joel is very fair in price and STRAIGHT FORWARD. He didn't charge me not a dollar more...I know courts take time Joel was able to fit us in quickly as possible. He was able to contact my attorney in Florida, and they were able to work together... My case is very complicated and sensitive, Joel is very knowledgeable and is capable of handling it. Joel was very patient with me and understood my frustration. He explained everything to me and prepared me and when I didn't understand he dumb it down for me. He is my attorney for ever in Illinois and I know I can count on him and his firm to answer the phone and emails when I need him no matter what day it is.

I recently retained Attorney Joel Brown. Not only did he travel over an hour for my case, he was one of the most compassionate and professional Attorneys I have worked with. He kept me informed on the process and listened to each of my concerns. I never had to worry. His expert knowledge and experience resulted in the dismissal of my case. I have since referred him on other matters. I highly recommend and will use for future matters.

Gregory Reeder is completely unprofessional. Was unfamiliar with my case even after months of working with him/paying him. The only time he really went over my case with me was 10 minutes before court. He did not file court documents in a timely manner, he's VERY disrespectful and even hung up in my face during a phone call once when I addressed my concerns with him. When I asked the simplest questions, he would make me feel uncomfortable/unwelcomed. My charges were eventually dropped after he was off my case, so you'd be better off representing yourself. He put little to no effort into helping me but had no problem taking my money. A JOKE

Thank you so much for helping out with my case he did and outstanding job and helped me stay outta trouble I recommend him for everyone that is innocent he has you covered

Had a consultation with Joel, he was very knowledgeable and provided great guidance. Would highly recommend.

Extremely unprofessional, rude, and condescending attitude. I had a consultation today with an attorney. In the middle of explaining my complicated situation, the attorney asked me, “Can I laugh now, or can I laugh later?” I said, “Excuse me.” I also stated that I was willing to write an official letter to the other party if needed because I knew I wouldn’t be able to serve him until next year. The attorney laughed mockingly and said, “What makes it official?” These people lack understanding. This is not the first law firm I’ve spoken to and every other law firm was kind and understanding and explained the whole process to me. A bunch of clowns. The attorney I wasted my time with was Gregory Reeder. This is not his only bad review on Google. Gregory was also not aware that prenatal paternity test are available. The guy sounded incompetent while trying to make me sound like I was stupid or something.

I have dealt with a lot of attorneys and a lot of law offices Gregory Reader is by far one of the best. He gets the Job done quickly and with the utmost respect and is real Dint come to him with any BS A real Attorney and a honorable man.

I contacted this law firm seeking guidance for a case and I was instantly dismissed by the “partner “ of their group. He asked me if I’d like to proceed with the free 30 minute consultation and I said yes. He asked what type of case I had and I told him a family matter. It was difficult for me to explain my situation because of how complex my case is. Instead of listening , he continued to talk over me saying “it’s a family case it’s a mom , dad and kids it’s not that hard to explain. Every time I had the chance to talk he would interrupt me , not encouraging me but telling me that I was going to lose my case in general. I would not recommend this law firm to anyone as they seem to have all the answers before you can explain your situation. I felt very disrespected and dismissed that I hung up. We did not last a good 5 minutes on the phone because of how rude and dismissive he was.

I retained Attorney Joel Brown for a legal matter and was very pleased with his professionalism and detailed knowledge on the matter. He explained how things would play out and as we went through the process things went basically how he said they would. Very satisfied with his work and the results. Would definitely recommend Attorney Joel Brown.

Worst experience ever! Gregory Reeder would tell me one thing and court said something different. He took over $2k from me to retrieve $500 for child support. He keeps you on the phone babbling and charges you for it, still not answering the original questions. RUN from this lawyer, he's disrespectful and told me how stupid my ex was, after taking $1200 CASH from him and pocketing 80% of it . Not someone who is trustworthy or looking out for your best interest.

Highly Recommended Very professional, they talked me through the ins and outs of my case, cleaning things up quickly and efficiently

Mr. Gregory is a great lawyer. He handled my case professional ly and kept me in the loop. The case was in chicago and I live in Texas so i had to rely on him and he always kept me in the loop. I highly recommend this company ...

Very knowledgeable and patient when handling my case. Worked hard to get the desired result. Highly recommend

Do not go to Gregory Reeder for help. I had a phone consultation with him and wanted to meet with him in person. I don't judge people, but when they treat a person seeking for help and information and you are treated as he treated me then I will pass judgement on the person. Sorry I asked for your help, sorry I obviously wasted your time, sorry I even considered you. He made one feel inferior by stating that every question asked was dumb, dumb, dumb. Sorry I wanted to get a little more insight on the situation from a so called professional. It's not like I wasn't going to pay for your services. He is so unprofessional to the point that I still gave him a chance to re-route the conversation, but I got up and left as to not disrespect him like he was disrespecting me. He came out in socks, and cussed on the initial phone call. The only thing I can thank him for is seeing us on short notice and for showing me first hand that you are also not worth my time. Don't waste your time while also wasting his.
