Best Attorney

I had googled Mr. Glassman and read his reviews and spoke to him about my situation and after we met I knew right away with confidence he will take care of my case. I was so nervous he never made me fell like the case cannot be resolved as he knew there was nothing for me worry about and he always ca...lled me whenever I needed to talk, ensured me that nothing will happen and he was very caring and understanding which made me feel confident and as a result he solved our case in 3 months and it was closed, which was a remarkable job he did! His expertise and knowledge is remarkable and outstanding and I would highly recommend him. As he said he will get the job done and he kept his word.. I am so happy we hired David and now I know for any legal issues who to turn to..Thank you David !

The BEST Defense Attorney around. No Exaggeration.

Mr. Glassman has been truly the BEST Attorney my family and I have met. He is fights his cases to the last tooth and nail with extreme tenacity & aggressiveness; he is tremendously knowledgeable & experienced; he is very qualified, and operates under genuine integrity. When I contacted Mr. Glassman I... was facing a Second Degree Felony Drug Charge in one county and a Third Degree Felony Drug Charge in a different county. I was so anxious I couldn’t sleep or eat for days. It was not until I spoke to Mr. Glassman that he continuously reassured me by giving me his word that he will get the best result possible and make sure I get zero prison time. I put blind faith into Mr.Glassman and not only did he follow through with his word and ensured there was no incarceration as he promised. but Mr. Glassman also helped me achieve, not just second chance at freedom, but a second chance at life. At one point we also were looking at Drug Court solution with a driver's license to be suspended but he was able to take it a step further and turn things around and turn it into Straight Probation with much more flexibility for my travel for my job and also no suspension of a driver's license. I most certainly and absolutely strongly recommend Mr. Glassman for any sort of criminal defense cases as he had provided the best case turnaround I have ever seen and he demonstrates a true superior class in legal defense.

I could not more highly recommend Mr Glassman.

When I contacted Mr Glassman, I was facing a potential 15 year Federal charge and ended up with 4 years State probation...no fine...no community service. He expertly and compassionately navigated the system like a master conductor, pulling all the right strings at the right times. I am con...vinced that he is the only reason I got the result that I did and will be forever grateful.

Phenomenal Lawyer!!!

I reached out to this lawyer after reading reviews and I decided to give him a call to tell him my situation. Currently I’m in a very bad situation with the current attorney that I’ve hired for my fiancé. The current attorney not only was taking my money but not doing any work on the case which resul...ted in my fiancé being stuck in a county jail without being sentenced for years. I desperately needed advice/consultation from another lawyer. Every attorney that I spoke to either wanted an astronomical amount of money just to listen to my situation in full detail or they just weren’t interested in listening at all. But Mr. Glassman called me back and took the time to listen to everything I was going threw in full detail!! He gave me some advice on how to handle the situation and it worked!!! Because of Mr. Glassman’s advice My fiancé is now in the process to be sentenced after waiting so long. I want to thank you Mr. Glassman!!! To be good at your profession means you have to enjoy what you do. It’s not always about financial gain, sometimes it’s about being a good person that wants to help people. Mr.Glassman did quote me a price for his services but did not pressure me to think the only way my issue would be fixed is to pay him. I prefer to speak with an attorney that is confident and knowledgeable about his work and no one should ever confuse confidence with cocky. if anyone is looking for a straight forward HONEST attorney that has extensive experience and knows the system and the people that have worked or is still working in the system to help you get threw your situation correctly without getting the run around then Mr. Glassman is your man! Thanks again Mr. Glassman for all your help.

Experienced, effective and absolutely the guy you want next to you in the courtroom!

Mr Glassman represented me in criminal court for an assault charge. I was in the most stressful time of my life with the charges potentially affecting my professional career. I looked at many criminal defense attorneys and Mr Glassman was the first attorney I set up a consult with because he had such... great reviews and near 40 years of experience. At the consult Mr Glassman took the time to go through my case thoroughly and I could tell he cared about getting me the best outcome possible for my case. I hired Mr Glassman immediately after our consult and I made the right choice. Mr Glassman was absolutely unremarkable in court and his many years of experience and skill were apparent. Mr Glassman studied my case and the evidence and was able to ask effective questions during cross examination resulting in the "victim" getting caught in a lie and admitting major inconsistencies in their allegations leading to me being found not guilty. Mr Glassman took time to study my case and was able to confidently prove my innocence. I would recommend Mr. Glassman to family, friends or anyone looking for a skilled and experienced attorney that you can trust.

  • 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.
