Reliable Top notch, professional and dedicated excellent Attorney - Highly Recommended !!

Long story short - Back around 2017 our company was involved in lawsuit. A man you can trust and dedicated excellent Attorney Mr. Glenn R. Reiser from Shapiro Croland Reiser Apfel & Di Iorio, LLP law firm. He was successful in all suits that we had placed with him. He was in constant communication w...ith us, returning phone calls/emails/correspondence promptly and went to great lengths to ensure that we understood our various legal options -though he was busy with several cases, he made us feel like we were the only clients of his firm. Mr. Glenn R. Reiser is clearly a highly skilled litigator that knows when to be aggressive and when to pursue alternative options; his legal experience won us a highly favorable outcome. Most importantly, I am deeply grateful to Mr. Glenn R. Reiser for his patience and respect for diversity. He is just a fantastic person to work with -sharp and experienced, but kind and understanding. He receives our highest recommendation, and I am sure that you will not be disappointed. He was very patient with me, always answered my questions and gave me objective counsel I knew I could trust. His hard work and diligence resulted in a favorable outcome in my case. Simply phenomenal from start to finish, he was a pleasure to have on my side and would highly recommend Mr. Glenn R. Reiser and his firm.

Highly recommend attorney Reiser

I was referred to Glenn Reiser by a friend. I could not be happier with the professionalism I received during this difficult time. Attorney Riser is knowledgeable, thinks outside of the box, is kind and will return your calls quickly. He is a professional who has not forgotten compassion.

Gave Me Much Needed Comfort - With An Awesome Result

At a time that I felt like my life was precariously being held in the most negative way in the legal system, I sought Mr. Resier. Having been represented by him once before for a bankruptcy, I sought his assistance again for a complex civil matter. The adversary in this case made me feel like I was... a criminal. Mr. Reiser made me feel anything but. Where one attorney I had consulted with suggested I move out of state to avoid the ramifications, Mr. Reiser dismissed that, and tackled my case with much fervor. If you can say an attorney has good bedside manner, I would say Mr. Reiser's was bar none. Where I was terrified of what was to come, he reassured me time and time again. The outcome for my matter, could not have been better. By the grace of God and Mr. Resier and his knowledgeable approach, and sharp edge, I have been able to put a dark event in my life to rest. Would I refer Mr. Resier to others? Absolutely! Do I? But of course!! You definitely won't be disappointed.

My awful experience as Glenn's client

I had a really bad experience with Glenn Reiser's representation. When we met with him and his brother, they said we'd always be in the driver's seat. It got off to a promising start for the first few months, but after that the momentum took a nosedive and it seemed like we barely had any input at... all. In all fairness, when he took our case over we did have a judge who by his own words was showing partiality to the other side. But after pointing that out, he didn't do anything about it. So we kept being hit with bad rulings. At the time we were told there was nothing we could do about it. Just wait for the appeal. He doesn't really seem to know too much about land value outside of his area either with particular circumstances and he made an awful assessment of one of our experts, which turned out to be the opposite of what he said. Rather than aiming for the best possible scenario for situations that arose he seemed to be repeatedly proud that it wasn't the worst possible outcome. Then back in a pretrial conference call, the judge verbally approved me to testify virtually because I'm out-of-state but Glenn dragged his feet and never wrote the request that was agreed upon. I had assumed he did this but then 2 months later he forgot completely about it then gave me a hard time that I didn't want to testify in person when I had already received permission to do it virtually. But because he delayed, it cost me more having to come out in person when it was never necessary in the first place. When driving to court, he charges his actual hourly rate for legal work and not mileage reimbursement which adds up if the court is in a different county. There was also wasted time and money with him. One smaller example is his firm ordered video depositions then they forgot they ordered them and they wanted to use the written transcripts instead which were much cheaper and we could've just gone with originally. Again a small example, but it gives you an idea. He appeared to triangulate the plaintiffs he was representing in our case as well. Whenever he did something questionable, in my observation he'd do it verbally to one of the plaintiffs. He lied to me about something another plaintiff said which made us make a decision, based on the false information he provided, we never really recovered from. Then when I found out what happened from the other plaintiff and called him out on it he didn't tell the truth about what happened. When I wanted to switch attorneys, I asked for the files of our case. When he responded if digital worked. I replied yes, then he never sent them over. After that it was too late in the case to switch to a better one. Ironically, he threatened to leave the case close to the last minute when I disagreed with him on some issues because I felt it wasn't being honest. A lot of the communication with him felt like a manipulation and that I wasn't being told the information directly. In fact, he was so completely wrong some times that by doing the opposite of what he said was the better move. At one point, he admitted, "you were right," to one of the other plaintiffs. However, I wanted my attorney to be right. That's what we hired him for and it made me lose all faith. I personally found him to be dishonest. And while he definitely is an amazing and expertly skilled trial attorney, he seemed awful at a lot of other aspects of being a lawyer. The worst being negotiating in my and the other main plaintiff's opinion. He felt very draining to be around and deal with. A case that spans over a long period of time is difficult enough but dealing with him just seemed like it added to the burden.

Replied last July 22, 2024

This entire review is a complete fabrication of the truth. The clients are mother and son. This false review is posted by the son. The other false review is posted by his mother. The case was a bitter family dispute and settled for a confidential amount after 4 intense days of trial and before the trial was to resume. The settlement amount was suggested by the clients and was agreed to by the other side. The judge scheduled a hearing to approve the settlement. The clients attended the hearing and were given the opportunity to approve or disapprove of the settlement. Clients approved the settlement after being questioned by the judge. Based on testimony from the clients, the judge approved the settlement. During the course of the settlement hearing, in response to specific questioning by the judge, the clients confirmed they were satisfied with my firm's legal services. However, in an about-face, by the time I got back to my office after a 1 1/2 hour drive back from the court, on the same day the settlement was approved, the son posted a 1-star Google review replete with false statements. The attorney-client privilege prohibits me from revealing all of the communications that occurred with the clients that led to the settlement being agreed to in the first place. Clients now seem intent on ruining my reputation online based on frivolous and irrelevant arguments to detract from the truth that they authorized the settlement of their case on terms deemed acceptable to them. Lastly, they raise a frivolous legal malpractice suit filed by a now CONVICTED FELON serving time in Fort Worth, Texas on 33 counts of tax fraud against the IRS and his individual clients. In over 33 years of practice, I have devoted myself to assisting clients on both a business and individual level. The Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit me from commenting on the specifics. However, I will consider publishing portions of the transcript of the public court hearing held on June 10, 2024, where both mother and son praised my firm's legal services. Those statements were made under oath in a court of law, whereas now they try to backpedal by publishing false reviews.
