Dedicated to Victory

From the moment I first met Mr. Glassman, I was amazed at his professionalism, knowledge, and passion He had displayed when I explained to him the nature of my situation. After listening to him speak I felt reassured that the outcome would be favorable. Anytime I would call his office with questions ...his paralegal was always professional and would get my messages across to him without hesitation. From beginning to end Mr. Glassman was dedicated to making sure the results I wanted were met without fail.

A Man of His Word !

It was after 6pm one evening and we needed a lawyer ASAP for a family member that was arrested at airport and sent to correctional facility for accidentally carrying a 2" knife in his bag. Mr. Glassman's paralegal answered and he called me within 20 minutes. We hired him and I know we chose the right... man for the job. He promised to get the family member out the next day and promised there would be no jail time for the ridiculous charge of felony weapons by an overzealous prosecutor, get the charge reduced and only probation. He came through with exactly what he promised. He was tenacious enough with the legal system and kind and gentle enough with dealing with me and my family member. I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. His fees were beyond reasonable, and his communication was amazing. His paralegal either always answered phone or called back almost immediately. Mr. Glassman always responded to emails within 24 hours and i know I am a person to push a persons patience limits. Yet, he always responded, most times to calm me and be reassuring he would keep his word. He does the job he promises. He is intelligent and knows the law, explains to you and fights the fight for you. You can feel confident with him on your side.

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.
