⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an excellent experience working with bobby Reid and their team. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. They explained everything clearly and kept me informed at every step of the process. I felt genuinely supported and confident that my case was in good hands.

Their attention to detail, strong communication, and dedication to achieving the best outcome really set them apart. I would highly recommend bobby reid to anyone in need of legal assistance — they made a stressful situation much more manageable and delivered results I’m truly grateful for.

Great Service

Bobby Reid at McGovern Reid handled my licence suspension case brilliantly from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout, explained everything clearly, and resolved the issue without any hassle. It was clear he knew exactly what he was doing. I'm now back on the road and really grateful for his help. I'd gladly recommend him to anyone dealing with a similar situation.

Triple AAA service

This review is for a different branch.

Where to Start absolutely AAA service
I was in turnoil with a court lawyer
Who
Had no interest in my case.
So I seeked another lawyer and the best decision I ever made was going to McGovern Reid
I was assigned bobby and from the moment he took my case I knew I was in good hands

Fantastic communication
Pulled all the resources he had to in great time
And I was able to get a result that I didn't even think possible
From this experience my choice in lawyer changed my life for the better.

I would highly recommend anybody whither the case is stacked against your odds or not
These guys are your best bet
Evreytime

Thankyou all again
And special thanks to Bobby
I'll never forget what you did for me , cause you went
Above and beyond and gave a me a 2nd chance

Hope to never have to see yous again in the nicest way possible :)
