Partner Greg Reed
Disability Attorney

Mr. Greg Reed was retained by a Dripping Springs client to help her with a disability claim.

Her claim for benefits included documented complaints of degenerative joint disease of the left knee, degenerative disc disease of the spine, coronary artery disease, obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes mellitus, major depressive disorder, panic disorder and fibromyalgia. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Reed obtained every single pertinent medical record associated with our client’s medical conditions and made sure they would be available for review. We also obtained medical statements from her doctors. She fought long and hard for her rights and placed her future in the hands of Greg to do battle with the Social Security Administration on her behalf.

In October, Mr. Reed took on a Cedar Park client who had suffered a perforated ulcer in April of the previous year.

Before his disability, the client was a small business owner. Unfortunately, he lost his colon and part of his small intestines and now required a colostomy bag. In addition he suffered from high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. He had a difficult recovery and suffered complications that required further surgery a year later. His surgeon instructed that our client avoid lifting anything over 10 lbs. due to risk of additional injury to his abdomen. This restriction made it impossible for our client to continue running his business or, in fact, from continuing in his profession at all.

Greg Reed, of Bemis, Roach & Reed, has been invited to join the American Board of Trial Advocates.

Founded in 1958, the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) is, according to its website,
… a national association of experienced trial lawyers and judges dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the civil jury trial right provided by the Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. First and foremost, ABOTA works to uphold the jury system by educating the American public about the history and value of the right to trial by jury.
An attorney must have a specific level of trial experience to be considered by ABOTA. Membership is by invitation only, and those selected are invited because they “display skill, civility and integrity, to help younger attorneys achieve a higher level of trial advocacy and to educate the public about the vital importance of the Seventh Amendment.”
