About
Founded 2022
At the McGavock Reed Law Firm, we are dedicated to addressing key areas such as Attorney Ethics, Business law, Estate Planning, and Misdemeanor defense. Our primary emphasis is on attorney ethics within Virginia and the District of Columbia. We represent clients in matters related to bar complaints defense, admission inquiries, disputes over fees through arbitration and litigation processes, law firm dissolutions and partnership agreements while also providing tailored ethical guidance. For attorneys licensed to practice law—who view it as their most significant asset—the threat of a bar complaint can stem from simple mistakes or misinterpretations about legal procedures. Disciplinary bodies often impose severe penalties for alleged violations that might seem minor under different circumstances; these can include censure or even disbarment. If you're an attorney confronting an ethics-related issue or facing a complaint before the bar association's authority, securing expert legal counsel is crucial for navigating this complex situation successfully.
In addition to our focus on professional conduct issues in legal practice settings, we offer extensive services geared towards business entities—including drafting essential corporate documents and structuring buy/sell agreements along with handling formation needs like employment contracts or company dissolution measures. Furthermore, our firm caters to estate planning requirements while also offering support for misdemeanor cases among other family law matters.
Founded by McGavock D. Reed Jr., who began his career at DC’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel working closely with disciplinary cases as a Law Clerk post-JD qualification from The Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law—we pride ourselves on understanding what it takes defend attorneys’ rights during challenging times across both Virginia & DC jurisdictions.
