"In a complex litigation matter, I had the opportunity to work with Ms. Reed in her capacity as general counsel to entities involved in a dispute. I found her to be not only technically proficient in applying the law to the case, but also very pragmatic and creative in resolving a contentious case. Ms. Reed knew the facts cold and how to apply them in a manner to ensure a favorable result."

"I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Ms. Reed in the advancement of a particularly challenging land use and entitlement matter in Riverside County, California. Notably, the matter has required the utilization and demonstration of significant expertise in addressing and resolving conflicts between competing jurisdictions and the application and effect of multi-tiered zoning and environmental programs. Moreover, the project has required the exercise of considerable wisdom, acumen and insight in managing and coordinating the expectations and requirements of various government officials, investors and interested parties. Ms. Reed has handled each role in a superior manner and with unparalleled grace and ability. I look forward to many more projects with her in the future."

"I have worked with Karyn over the past 5 years on many complicated real estate transactions and projects, including: the purchase of raw, un-entitled land; development of multi-tenant shopping centers; retail and ground leases; CC&R’s; site development agreements; access and reciprocal easement agreements; and complex multi-party escrow purchase and sale transactions. She has always been very knowledgeable, prompt, and thorough when representing our development firm. It is a pleasure working with Karyn."

"My working relationship with Karyn began in 2000 when I was pursuing land acquisitions and managing site development for various telecommunications companies, including Sprint PCS and AT&T Wireless. Because of Karyn’s extensive experience in issues pertaining to wireless telecommunications facilities, she was the lead attorney who handled not only my 120 development sites but also the sites assigned to the other site acquisition consultants at my company.
The uniqueness of telecommunications facilities requires careful attention to detail in order to protect the parties from certain critical FCC and environmental laws. My site development projects required extensive legal and entitlement work. Karyn handled these complicated assignments perfectly, including drafting multiple carrier Master Lease Agreements, leases and sub-leases, complex co-location arrangements, access and easement agreements, and resolution of title matters that would affect the site development. Additionally, Karyn successfully negotiated for entitlements and building permits to ensure on-time construction schedules that were critical to the delivery of wide-range network communications.
Having worked with a number of other lawyers, I have experienced the most professional, thorough and detailed work from Karyn. Today I develop single-tenant and neighborhood shopping centers in California and Nevada. For these retail development projects, I require outstanding work from a real estate attorney in order to protect my investments. Karyn provides me overall “general counsel” and is the only attorney I trust to handle my day-to-day legal work and more complex contracts."
