About
Reid Garrey has been practicing law in Arizona for over 40 years. He attended law school at Stetson University School of Law in Gulfport, Florida on an academic scholarship. He graduated 3rd in his class while working as a clerk for an outstanding plaintiff’s personal injury trial lawyer, which is where he first learned his love of trying cases. Upon graduation, Reid decided to take a job with a litigation firm in Phoenix, Arizona, where he was able to further learn how to try lawsuits by one of the great trial lawyers to have practiced in Arizona. After three and a half years of learning from the best, Reid left to start his own firm.
Over the past four decades, Reid has had over 100 trials throughout Arizona. Additionally, he has extensive experience in both arbitration and mediation. Reid has represented hundreds of Plaintiffs and Defendants in civil litigation involving all manner of personal injury, product liability, medical malpractice, premises security, commercial litigation, breach of contract, and more. For the past 5 years, Reid has dedicated his practice to exclusively representing injury Plaintiffs.
Reid has been a State Bar of Arizona Certified Specialist in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death for over 30 years. He served on the State Bar Advisory Commission for Personal Injury and Wrongful Death for eight years and was co-chair of that Commission for five years, during which time he helped re-write the rules and criteria for certification in personal injury and wrongful death. He has been a presenter for numerous CLE programs and was a faculty member and instructor at the State Bar of Arizona Trial College. Reid has been a guest lecturer at the Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law in trial practice and mentored students interested in learning to try lawsuits to a jury. He has also been an Advocate member of the American Board of Trial Advocates for almost 30 years.
Reid’s proudest professional achievement is having been inducted as a Fellow into the American College of Trial Lawyers over 20 years ago. The American College of Trial Lawyers is an invitation-only legal organization whose membership is limited to the top 1% of attorneys throughout the United States and Canada. Its purpose is to elevate the quality of trial practice and to advance the interests of justice. Selection to become a Fellow is widely considered the pinnacle compliment that can be paid to a practicing trial attorney. Every member of the United States Supreme Court is a Fellow of the College. Reid had the privilege and honor to serve as the State Chair and the Vice-Chair of the Arizona Chapter of the College and was tasked to be a presenter at one of the College’s annual events.
Reid is AV rated by Martindale-Hubble, the highest rating a practicing lawyer can achieve in professionalism, competence, and ethics. He has been AV rated for 25 years.
Reid is married to his beautiful wife, Pamela. They have four adult children and six grandchildren, with hopes of more to come. Reid and Pam have a house full of dogs. Pam breeds Bouvier des Flanders. Reid has many hobbies including all things outdoors, racquetball and playing tennis. But aside from his family, the thing he enjoys most is helping injured people find some justice after being hurt by the carelessness of another.
