Posted by David | January 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Fantastic Attorney

I simply could not be be more satisfied with the outcome. 9 points down to 2! I hired David Glassman to represent me for a traffic infraction that resulted in tickets for Improper Passing and Reckless Driving. 9 points! From the moment I spoke with him, I knew that I was in good hands. I was fac...ing a very tough prosecutor but he negotiated a deal to bring 9 points down to 2! Even the judge remarked on the "significant" point reduction. Should anything like this ever happen again, David Glassman will be the first person I call and I highly recommend that anybody else do the same.

Best criminal lawyer

I was charged in Philadelphia with Aggravated Assault & Endangering the Welfare of my child. Having never been charged with a crime I was referred by my brother to Mr. Glassman. He arranged to meet me after work and explained to me the process and how he would defend me. He made sure I understood wha...t would happen in Court during each appearance. Mr. Glassman believed in my innocence, gathered all of the evidence I had, and prepared me for Trial in both my Criminal Case & Restraining Order Hearing. He responded to every email and made himself available to discuss the case in person. My matters were listed on numerous dates, Mr. Glassman was there right next to me at each Court appearance. He brought the evidence to the DA, meet repeatedly with them and fought hard to have the charges DISMISSED. At my last appearance in both my Criminal Case & Restraining Order Hearing, Mr. Glassman was able to get every charge against me dropped. He is a very tough criminal lawyer and defended me every step of the way. I was fortunate to have him by my side. E.D. Phila. PA.

An amazing lawyer and person

I'm extremely please that I retained David J. Glassman as my lawyer. Being involved in any sort of legal issue is a stressful and confusing time and it is imperative to have a lawyer by your side who can guide you smoothly through the process and always have your best interest in mind. He is extreme...ly friendly and also no-nonsense. Mr. Glassman is extremely experienced and knows how to navigate the system. In my situation, he obtained the absolute best possible outcome considering the circumstances and continues to help me. Thank you!

Great Lawer

David Glassman is the guy to hire if you need a defense attorney. David is a real up front attorney because he is honest about what to expect, and thoroughly explains the criminal process you will be going through, so that you really feel comfortable having him fight for you. He helped my son win his... case and was there thought everything.

Expert Criminal Attorney

When I was 18 years old I was mishandling a handgun, accidentally killing my friend. My family as well as the victim's family were devastated. It was a horrible situation all they way around. Having never been in trouble nor any of my family members I didn't know anything about the criminal justice s...ystem and how it worked. We were fortune to retain the services of Mr. David J. Glassman. I can with absolute certainty that if it was not for Mr. Glassman's expert legal representation and advice I would be sitting in jail with life without parole for something that I didn't mean to do. David was a staunch advocate for the truth in my case, which won out in the end. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Mr. Glassman for the life I enjoy now, not having the best legal representation things could have ended up differently. If you are looking for a lawyer who is an expert at criminal law and who will relentlessly fight to defend your rights, who will put you in the best legal position and offer you the best options, who knows the judges and the inner workings of Philadelphia and NJ criminal justice systems, then Mr. David Jay Glassman is the man you want to have represent you. When my parole was vacated due to the many things I accomplishments while in parole: B.S. in Computer Science and M.S.W from NYU and my contributions to the community, guess who was their at the end of the twenty or so year process to congratulate me and say, "You are remarkable". Mr. David J. Glassman was there. signed Kingsley
