Saved a life

Mr Glassman`s knowledge and professionalism has led to an amazing and the best outcome in our case, we could not be happier how he handled and supported us. He had carefully studied and gained insight of the small details and advised in every step of the way. He fought for an entire year on our behal...f and showed how much he cares and places his best intention. It was a tough and a desperate one, we are so thankful for you, Mr Glassman! You have saved a life!

Best lawyer in the Tri-state

Mr. Glassman has continuously demonstrated his unmatched skill and work-ethic. I was on a 5-year Probation sentence (which Mr. Glassman got me probation of a SECOND Degree felony for possession with intent to distribute in NJ) and we were able to file a motion to terminate probation the NJ courts to ...get me out of probation in 1 year, no additional fines paid other than my probation balance, we showed up to Burlington county superior court and literally within 5 minutes the judge granted the motion terminate probation and my life was now fully back in my hands all cause of Mr. Glassman. His strong reassuring and articulate smooth talking has gotten me out of every major legal issue (3rd time hiring him) and he’s truly the best I’ve ever seen and me and my friends will only go to Mr. Glassman for any legal issues. Best in NJ, best in PA, and best even in NY (even though he’s not licensed in NY he has so much years of experience he motions himself into NY court cases… that’s when you know he’s legit)

Best Lawyer In the Tri State Area!!!

By far the best defense lawyer you will find in the area. If you are looking for a guaranteed best result in your case, then you do not need to look any further because David Glassman will absolutely get you the best result possible. David Glassman is one of the most confident and reassuring lawyers ...we have met. His confidence is proven in his work with his 40+ years of experienced expertise he pulled miracles for my friend and got him a second chance in life. My friend was hit with 2 serious felony charges, one was in Camden and the other was in Burlington County. One was a second-degree felony possession in one county and the other was a third-degree felony possession in another county. It was extremely concerning for him for this matter, but David Glassman was able to pull through miracles and got no jail time and straight probation. At first, they offered him drug court in one county and straight probation in the other but that couldn’t work for him because he traveled for work and drug court wouldn’t allow that. He pushed very hard and got exactly what we all wanted and even got the 2nd degree felony downgraded to a 3rd degree. All our friends and family only consider Glassman for any legal matter in the future for his ability to turn legal disasters into miracles and would only recommend Glassman as your only choice for legal counsel.

Amazing

David Glassman is truly a Godsend. The best criminal defense lawyer and honestly the best lawyer we have ever found. He has decades of experience (40+ to be exact) and it really is demonstrated in his results which is getting you out of the worst legal circumstances possible. He is extremely arti...culate, very knowledgeable, always optimistically confident but also very honest & transparent. A friend of ours got charged with 2 very serious felony drug charges in New Jersey which has super strict drug charges. It was a 3rd degree felony charge in one county and an even worse 2nd degree felony charge in another county. Our hope was very dim, and it was extremely troubling but once we met with David Glassman, he gave us renewed hope and reassurance by guaranteeing us that we will get us the best result possible which he did. He got our friend no jail time and straight probation on BOTH counties AND got the 2nd degree charge downgraded to a 3rd degree charge. He was transparent in what he offered and was able to pull through exactly what he said which was a miracle to us given the gravity of both charges. David Glassman is truly the best of the best that we have encountered, and we wholeheartedly recommend only David Glassman for all your legal needs.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

David Jay Glassman was my criminal defense attorney, so I speak with personal knowledge of his expertise. After interviewing several lawyers in-person, with the help of my son-in-law who is also a lawyer, we both immediately had NO DOUBT that Mr Glassman would be the best possible lawyer to represent... me. And he was!!! From the moment we met, Mr. Glassman was confident in a positive outcome for my case. Throughout my case, he never lost confidence in me, or the thought that I would win my case. Mr. Glassman communicated with me primarily through texts and emails, making it very easy to reach him at all times. With so much on the line, it was comforting to be able to reach him immediately, have him respond immediately, and not have to wait a day for a return call. He was always punctual at court hearings and in keeping me informed of the day-to-day progress of my case. Mr. Glassman was fierce in every aspect of his defense of me, often going head-to-head with the prosecutor in my defense. Very importantly to me, he involved me in the decision making as issues popped up. I always felt that he truly represented “ME”. I felt that Mr. Glassman defended me as if he was defending himself. He was always very professional, with his 40 years of criminal defense experience always being obvious. Hiring Mr. Glassman to be my attorney was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. HE WON MY CASE FOR ME!!! It is with my highest possible recommendation that I recommend David Jay Glassman as a criminal defense lawyer.
