Reid & Hellyer

What Reid & Hellyer does

Reid & Hellyer is a private law firm organized as a California professional corporation (Reid & Hellyer, APC), tracing its origins to the 1897 founding of the San Bernardino firm Surr and Hellyer and the 1964 formation of the Riverside firm Reid, Babbage and Coil, which merged in 1985 to form the present entity. The firm provides full-service legal representation across eight practice areas: civil litigation, bankruptcy, business law, real estate, labor and employment, wills/trusts/estates/probate, immigration, and mediation. It serves both individual and business clients throughout Southern California, with a particular concentration in the Inland Empire region spanning Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles, and North San Diego counties.

The firm operates from three physical offices: a Riverside headquarters at 3880 Lemon Street (positioned adjacent to five courthouses in the downtown Justice Center), a Murrieta/Temecula office serving the southwestern Inland Empire, and an Orange County office in Rancho Santa Margarita. Fourteen attorneys are listed on the firm website, including a Senior Partner specializing in media law and long-tenured senior counsel. Marketing is conducted primarily through the firm's website and a blog covering practice-area topics, with no sophisticated digital or platform infrastructure described.

The business model is conventional professional services: legal fees billed via hourly rates, flat fees for defined services, contingency arrangements, and fixed-fee consultations per matter. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, consistent with the privacy posture of a partner-owned professional corporation. There is no external institutional ownership, no funding history, and no technology, AI, or platform-based offering — the firm is a traditional legal services practice with continuity-of-personnel and longevity-of-brand as its principal operating characteristics.
