Her background includes significant work at both the trial and appellate levels, giving her a comprehensive understanding of how cases are built, challenged and ultimately won. She is known for approaching each matter with a strategic mindset, recognizing that the groundwork laid early in litigation often shapes the outcome long before a jury is ever involved.
Ms. Reed is skilled in navigating every stage of the legal process – from investigation and discovery to motion practice and trial presentation. By carefully developing the factual and legal framework of a case from the outset, she positions her clients for strong results, frequently securing resolutions before a matter reaches the courtroom.

After relocating to Colorado, she spent several years defending health care providers and institutions, gaining valuable insight into defense strategies. This dual perspective allows her to anticipate opposing arguments and craft approaches that effectively counter them.

She holds a Juris Doctor with distinction from The University of Tulsa College of Law and completed her undergraduate studies in business at The University of Oklahoma, also graduating with distinction.
