Car Accident

I recently hired Matthew Glassman to represent me in a car accident where I had sustained an injury to my back. Mr. Glassman explained to me what was available to me as far as compensation for my injury. He was very thorough and kept me informed by letters and phone calls as to what was happening w...ith my case from start to finish. I did receive the maximum benefit allowed and was very happy with the results. I highly recommend Matthew A. Glassman to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney!

Knowlege and Honesty

Mr. Glassman is very honest and knowledgeable attorney. He was very helpful in my case when I was struck by a car on the sidewalk. I would never hire another attorney after I met Mr. Glassman. Thank you.

Posted by Gina | November 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Slip and Fall

I slipped and fell in a supermarket and tore the meniscus in both my knees which needed surgery. I hired Mr. Glassman as my attorney and he handled my case very well. He was able to get me a nice settlement for my pain and suffering. He is a very knowledgeable attorney who is up on everything and ...very attentive. He responded quickly to my phone calls and questions and never rushed me off. He answered all my questions thoroughly. I felt like I was being represented fairly and by one of the best. I would also like to say that Mr. Glassman is very caring. He treated me more like a friend that a client. I would highly recommend him to everyone and he will be the first I will turn to for any future legal advice needed.

Great Services

I sought out Matthew's legal services after a car accident. I wasn't expecting anything to come of it - I mostly just hoped that I could recoup SOMETHING from the physical pain and financial burden I suffered from the accident. It took a couple of years, but ultimately Matthew was able to secure a s...ettlement. He kept me informed about my options throughout the process of reaching a settlement. He informed me when a settlement offer was made. He told me that I could accept it, or he could push for more, and he told me what he thought the chances were and how it might play out. For someone entirely new to the legal system, it was very comforting. The only issue I experienced over the course of my case was that his staff was often unresponsive and sometimes rude. Often times, I would send an email asking the paralegal for an update on their end or asking about what I should do regarding my treatments and how to have it billed and wouldn't get a response. Ultimately, I would end up contacting Matthew directly -- he was always very responsive to my questions. His paralegal, however, was very rude about my having contacted Matthew directly, despite the long chain of unanswered emails I had sent to her. My communications with his paralegal were unpleasant, but I ultimately ended up communicating with Matthew directly after that point. Overall, I would definitely recommend Matthew's legal services. He was very kind and was able to obtain a settlement on my behalf when I really had very little hope for justice.

Excellent Service

Mr. Glassman represented my daughter due to an accident that she was in on a school bus. Mr. Glassman and his staff are attentive, professional and caring. They provided wonderful service throughout a long process of dealing with insurance companies. I would highly recommend Mr. Glassman as he kee...ps you informed, is honest, and very well versed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
