Michael D. Reiter
Brief Biography
Michael D. Reiter was inspired by his father, also a lawyer, to pursue a legal career. He passionately fights for underdogs against large corporations, protecting clients’ rights and making communities safer. He has frequently represented clients with life-changing injuries not caused by their own fault, and he offers them support during difficult times.
Mike fights for his clients and their families in areas of the law such as premises liability, serious motor vehicle crashes, trucking collisions, nursing home neglect, and construction injuries.
When he’s not fighting for his clients’ rights, Mike loves spending time with his wife and two young sons, traveling, and hanging out with friends. He also enjoys watching and discussing sports, and coaches his boys’ recreational basketball teams.
