David Jay Glassman

I hired Mr. Glassman for defense in a restraining order hearing. Although I have no prior criminal record, there was a lot of evidence against me in this case. The papers were filed on a Thursday, I received them the following Saturday evening (due to my schedule I couldn't get them any sooner), the ...following Monday was a holiday, and the court date was Thursday. We didn't have much time to prepare. Mr. Glassman made himself available on a Saturday night to speak with me by phone about our game plan to try for a civil restraint which would leave me with no record. I was very nervous and not sure if this would turn out in my favor due to the evidence against me. But it did. The hearing did not even get to the plaintiff's testimony, which would have been embarrassing for both me and the plaintiff if the details were discussed. The plaintiff accepted the civil restraint, which Mr. Glassman drew up on the spot in a way that satisfied the plaintiff and also kept me from having the permanent stigma of a restraining order on my record. I would highly recommend Mr. Glassman for his efficiency, attention to detail, and even just his friendliness. I felt like I was dealing with a caring human being, which is not the vibe that I often get from other attorneys. It was also helpful that Mr. Glassman charged a flat fee. I'm not sure how much other attorneys charge, but I felt the fee was reasonable and what I was willing to pay to receive the excellent service that I did.

David Glassman is a terrific lawyer because he will do everything in his power to make sure you get the best outcome. He is honest and has many years of experience. Looking for a lawyer can be a tiresome and stressful process. When I contacted Mr. Glassman he offered to meet with me on a weekend beca...use of my limited availability. He listened to my case and laid out all of the possible outcomes and was completely honest about the entire process and associated fee's. Mr. Glassman kept me fully up to date during the preparation process and always explained things with great clarity. When it came time to appear in court, the judge actually postponed the court date for another month. When the second date came around, the judge made us wait in the courtroom for quite a long time and Mr. Glassman stuck by my side through it all. Despite these curve balls the judge threw at us, Mr. Glassman showed that he was reliable and determined which made the process a lot more comfortable to go through. Now I can happily say that I received the best possible outcome for my case (a dismissal) and I owe it all to Mr. Glassman.

I was potentially going to have harassment charges or a restraining order filed against me, so I wanted to find an attorney "just in case". I didn't know where to start besides random searches online in my area. There weren't many criminal defense attorneys or firms in my area who had more than one o...r two reviews, or their reviews were so-so to not good. Then I came across David Glassman. All of his reviews were positive, and there a good number of them. I contacted him via email, and within hours (or minutes?) I received a call from him. He provided a brief yet to the point run down of what could potentially happen and what I should do. His manner was very friendly (unlike other attorneys I had worked with in the past for other matters) and I could tell he was very experienced, could get the job done and was very on point. I didn't feel he was promising me things unrealistically, but felt he knew of the best ways to achieve the best outcome given my situation. I'm not sure if I will need his services (hopefully not!) but I know I would be in good hands. His flat rate seemed well within what I was willing to pay. I'm not familiar with what attorneys usually charge for these kinds of services, but the rate seemed more than reasonable for the quality of service I could tell I would receive.

David Glassman is the guy to hire if you need a criminal defense lawyer. 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. In a time where I needed help, David went above and beyond ...to provide legal CARE, not just representation. He got everything taken care of without making empty promises. Genuinely a great guy and excellent lawyer, and I would recommend David without hesitation!
