Criminal Defense 80%

I handle cases from murder to speeding tickets, all over New York State and pride myself on taking cases to trial for clients that are innocent. I have tried over 150 cases, including the "Riverside Rapist," "Sex Perv Chef," and the rapper "Wais P." I am in court on a daily basis, negotiating with prosecutors and judges on robberies, burglaries, sex offenses, larcenies, and homicides.

Disgrace of an attorney

Where do I begin. This attorney and I will address him as such because to say his name would be to acknowledge him as a person and he is less then such. My boyfriend has been incarcerated for 2 years in Rikers Island. This attorney has not put in any motions for bail, no speedy trial motions and does... not respond to calls or texts. He does not visit my boyfriend, yet he goes to court every month stating that he is trial ready. 2 years and no trial? Ridiculous. He does not provide requested documents and is extremely hard to speak with. On top of that he is condescending and obnoxious. My boyfriend has gone to court on multiple occasions and requested a new attorney for which his presiding judge Landry refuses to remove him as counsel. My boyfriend has told him on multiple occasions he no longer wants this attorney to represent him and he will not remove himself. Suspected Collusion is a great word to use when it comes to this attorney. Beware he pushes for plea deals and if you refuse he makes you rot in prison. I don't recommend hiring this attorney at all. His Google reviews are horrible. Check them out.

Go look at Google reviews these are lies

If i could give 0 stars, I would. These are his comments or his friends and family trying to make himself like he is a good guy and lawyer. Go look at Google review not site reviews where he cab out in different names or comments. This is all lies he's a terrible man person lawyer etc. Has a disgusti...ng attitude. Should lose his license for practicing in law

I am putting the word out: Mr. Hardy is a dedicated attorney

Highly recommended by a friend, I hired attorney Glenn Hardy to represent me in a long, complicated case. As he expressed in one of his defense arguments: I was innocently at the site at the wrong time. After acquiring a video from a street camera, he proved that I was mistaken by my accuser. Durin...g the trial, I was terrified but Mr. Hardy kept his positive sense of humor while taking my case seriously and analyzing every single statement given. I was so grateful to his dedication and assertiveness to a positive outcome.

Knowledgeable, experienced and accountability in every sense of the word.

Glenn Hardy's dedication, professionalism and accountability is beyond expectation in my interation with him as a client up to this point. Institusive comprehension of all aspects of my case is something that prior assigned counsels lacked and Glenn Hardy has abundance of. To put it in simple words,... Glenn Hardy knows his craft and will put his best foot forward in defending his clients and understanding all aspects of their case. This has been my experience with Glenn Hardy, thus far. I trust in Glenn Hardy that this will bring the people to a conclusion that what I am being charged with will be dismissed. This way I can go about my life and dedicate my time and energy towards pursuing an education in a field that will one day better Earth for our future generations to enjoy and explore. I will also share my experience/interaction with Glenn Hardy with others that may have a family member or loved one going through legal troubles and need proper legal representation.

100% worth the wait and time

I have know Mr Hardy for a number of years and he is one of the best that I have met. From criminal to traffics cases he puts alot of his energy in to all of his cases and is very articulate. I actually have a friend in common who I was going to recommend him to but turns out that Mr Hardy and him a...lready had met, and also had good thing to say about him. Words can not express how much you have done for me and I would like to give you my thanks again and I appreciate everything that you have done for me and watching me change to the man that I am today. If i had a avvo years ago I would have written on it as your blog for you. Experience 10 Personality 10 Research skills 10 Friendship un-measureable

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have know Glen for a several years both as a friend and as a colleague in the field of Criminal Defense. I had the opportunity to be his adversary early in my career as a prosecutor, and then later on I had the opportunity to work alongside him as co-counsel on criminal defense cases. During that time I have had the opportunity to learn about both his professional as well as his personal experiences. What has become crystal clear to me is that Glen is a sharp, dedicated attorney who gives his clients and their cases his full, undivided attention, and strives at every opportunity to achieve the best result possible. Any client would be well-served to retain Glen if the need arises."
