About The McGavock Reed Law Firm

The McGavock Reed Law Firm specializes in Attorney Ethics issues, Business matters, Estate Planning, and Misdemeanors. The firm primarily focuses on attorney ethics issues in the District of Columbia and Virginia, including bar complaint defense, bar admission matters, fee dispute arbitration and litigation, law firm windups and partnership agreements, and private ethics advice. As attorneys, our license to practice is our most valuable asset. Unfortunately, for most attorneys facing a bar complaint, the rule violations alleged are the product of a careless error, a misunderstanding, or genuine confusion about the appropriate course of action. Nevertheless, disciplinary authorities can take a hard line on ethics violations and the punishments can be harsh, censuring, suspending, and even disbarring lawyers for what may appear to be benign conduct. If you are an attorney with an ethics question or are facing a bar complaint, you need knowledgeable counsel to guide you through the process. In the business arena, the firm provides full comprehensive services including drafting of corporate documents, structuring asset purchase and sale agreements, formation, dissolution, employment agreements, and other business contracts. The firms other offerings include estate planning services, misdemeanor defense, and family law. McGavock D. Reed, JR., the firm’s founder, got his start at the Office of Disciplinary Counsel in DC where he worked as a Law Clerk assisting in the prosecution of disciplinary complaints. After receiving his JD from The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, he became a respondent’s counsel and began work defending lawyers facing bar complaints in Virginia and the District of Columbia.
