Which is correct?
a. Discussed all issues with the Reinholdt’s.
b. Discussed all issues with the Reinholds.
Choice “b” is correct. Apostrophes are used for possessives. For a simple plural, even of names, add “s” or “es” with no apostrophe.
We discussed all issues with the Reinholdts. (plural)
We discussed all issues with the Reinholdts’ lawyer. (plural possessive modifying “lawyer”)
We discussed all issues with Mr. Reinholdt’s lawyer. (singular possessive modifying “lawyer”)
We discussed all issues with the Joneses. (plural adding “es”)

Thanks for this useful information.
