What makes Reid Council Law Firm unique?

Why you should hire our firm.

Law You Can Understand

We know that legal ​action can sometimes ​be overwhelming. We ​are dedicated to ​providing you help in ​language that you can ​understand. If you don’t ​feel like you understand ​your options, just ask, ​and we will work to find ​an explanation that is ​clear to you.

A Focus on Results

The first step is for us ​to work with you and ​come up with a plan to ​get the results you ​need. Through our ​understanding of the ​law and your ​understanding of the ​circumstances, we will ​craft a path to ​success.

How We Deal With the Law

Helping our clients build ​and protect their assets ​is our top priority. We are ​in constant ​communication with the ​people we serve and are ​committed to advancing ​the immediate needs and ​wants of our clients. Our ​team works around the ​clock to provide the ​necessary services and ​support that each client ​needs from us.

What ​happens if ​you do ​nothing?

Believe it or not, you do have a plan in place. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has already determined ​where your assets will be distributed under their intestacy ​laws for those that die without an estate plan in place.

In addition, if you have minor children and you die with out ​a proper estate plan, a Judge will determine who will raise ​your child.

Our team will craft a plan designed specifically for you that ​will not only outline your desires, but also avoid family ​conflict. In addition, we can also design a plan that will help ​your family get the assets left for them in a short amount ​of time, retain a majority of those assets while maintaining ​their privacy.

What steps ​are needed to ​create an ​estate plan?

We begin the process of creating your estate plan by meeting during ​one of our Legacy Building Planning Session. This is a chance for us ​to get to know each other, review your goals and objectives, and talk ​about your options and our packages and fees.

Your second meeting with us is your Legacy Plan Design Meeting. ​We’ll roll up our sleeves and design your customized estate plan based ​on the package you choose during the Legacy Building Planning ​Session.

Estate Planning is not something you do once and never think about ​again. Your life, your assets, and the law will all change.

Estate planning documents can include:

  • Last Will & Testament
  • Revocabe Living Trust
  • Durable Power of Attorney
  • Advanced Health Care Directive
  • Dementia Directive
  • HIPAA Authorization and Waiver
  • Final Disposition Instructions
  • Gifts of Personal Property
  • Nomination of Guardians

Taking the time to properly identify your estate planning goals and working with our office to create ​documents that reflect these goals, provides peace of mind that your wishes will be carried out as you ​intended. Further, your family and loved ones are not burdened with additional stress of not knowing your final ​wishes.

We serve clients in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas. Give us a call today at (215) 258-4620 to ​schedule your Legacy Building Planning Session or click HERE to schedule online.

Pennsylvania ​Estate Planning ​and Asset ​Protection

Estate planning is for everyone. We all have an estate. ​Although the more notable form of estate planning is a ​will, that may not be the best solution for all estates. ​Our team will evaluateadvise, and execute an estate ​planning strategy to carry out our wishes.

Real Estate Transactions

Our firm can assist with buying, selling, ​and leasing property, including ​preparation and review of purchase and ​sale agreements, leases, and other ​related documents.

Sports and Entertainment

Reid Council recognizes that athletes and ​entertainers often have a limited number of ​years to maximize their earning potential which ​lives little room for error. Contracts must be ​clearly drafted and understood prior to signing, ​licensing agreements are a major source of ​income, and documents are under constant ​legal scrutiny. We can provide litigation and ​transactional services such as:

  • Marketing, promotions, privacy, ​sponsorship, domain name, ​social media, and other ​intellectual property issues
