About Compass Estate Law

Reid Mann knows firsthand the heartbreak—and chaos—that can come when families fail to plan. Years ago, his family experienced two devastating losses: first, his mother-in-law passed away after a long battle with cancer. Then, not long after, his father died in a sudden, tragic accident. Neither had left a clear plan. In both cases, grief was compounded by confusion, legal complexity, and painful family tension.

These personal experiences shaped Reid’s professional path and ignited a deep commitment to helping others avoid the same turmoil.

Originally from Utah, Reid earned his law degree from Florida Coastal School of Law. He and his wife fell in love with Florida’s “First Coast” while raising their young family during law school, but he returned to Utah after graduation to begin his legal career. There, Reid gained broad experience in civil litigation, consumer bankruptcy, and criminal law—spending nearly four years as a deputy county attorney prosecuting cases and advising on complex civil issues.

But in 2019, the draw of Florida called them back. Reid returned to Northeast Florida with his wife and five children, settling in St. Johns County, where he now focuses exclusively on estate planning.

Today, Reid helps individuals and families protect what matters most: their children, their legacy, and their peace of mind. He believes estate planning isn’t just about documents—it’s about love, responsibility, and making life easier for the people you care about most.

Whether you’re navigating new parenthood, caring for aging parents, or simply wanting to put a solid plan in place, Reid will guide you with clarity, compassion, and the personal insight that only comes from lived experience.
