Reed R. Heustis, Jr.'s Summary

A member of the State Bar of California, Reed serves employers, insurance carriers, claims administrators, and homeowners, as a Workers' Compensation Defense Attorney. As a former claims examiner for the largest comp carrier in California, and a responsive customer service representative for a reputable insurance group, Reed is a staunch believer in commerce and free enterprise, and understands the importance of expeditious and effective handling of the diverse needs and expectations of businesses and the risk management industry.

In his spare time through network marketing, Reed secures families and small businesses across North America with access to the justice system through affordable legal service plans, no matter how traumatic or trivial the situation; identity theft protection and restoration; and entrepreneurial opportunity with LegalShield.

Reed earned his Juris Doctor in 1998 from San Diego's oldest legal academy, California Western School of Law; and his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 1993 from University of California at Irvine. In 2001, Reed graduated from the National Litigation Academy with a scholarship endowed by the Alliance Defense Fund, a servant organization that defends religious freedom, the sanctity of life, marriage and the family.

Reed and his wife raise three daughters, and are active members of a local congregation affiliated with the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America.

His interests include sports (baseball, football, hockey, soccer), politics, writing, classical music, constitutional law, theology, and network marketing.
