Excellent Lawyer

straight to the point, no non-sense and very professional is how I would describe Mr. Glassman. From my first talk with him to weeks after the closing, we were always well informed as he thoroughly explained every step of the criminal court proceedings which can be very complicated not to mention ove...rwhelming for someone who has never been in court. I knew from the moment I met him that he was the attorney for me as he was very honest with all the outcomes, explained everything to me in detail and told me that although he can’t guarantee me any specific outcome, he will fight for me till the end and obtain the best outcome possible. He also cared about the case on a personal level (would meet up with me on a Sunday night out of office to explain next steps in the case.) I hired Mr. Glassman and I am so glad I did. Aggravated assault charge dismissed, and simple assault charge found not guilty, 2.5-5 years of jail is now gone thanks to Mr. Glassman. I will always remember that he was my hero, kept me out of jail and let me put my life back together and that’s something I will never forget. I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for top-notch representation.

THE BEST. PERIOD.

Mr. Glassman winning my case gave me my life back. After almost a year of constant worry and uncertainty, I was cleared of all the serious charges (one of them including aggravated assault) against me thanks to him working tirelessly to prove my innocence. He was there explaining the entire process e...very step of the way and not only made sure I understood every bit of it, but was always available to meet if I had any further questions or concerns. His thorough and hands-on work never disappointed and you get exactly what he says he's going to do. He's a no-BS attorney who gets results and I highly recommend his services. Thank you David.

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.
