High speed attorney well-versed in Military divorces

My experience with Ms. Glackin surpassed my expectations. I was stressed with an impending military to military divorce and had the need for expert advice with regard to this specialized area. Ms. Glackin was very personable and it ws immediately clear that she was well-versed on the nuances of milit...ary specific divorce and separation law. She conducted our consultation with efficiency and professionalism - I did not feel rushed in any way, but she did not waste a minute (even when I began to drift off topic/track from time to time). Ms. Glackin advised me on how to proceed with constructing a separation agreement that met my specialized needs and expectations with respect to child custody, and advised me about the impending uncontested divorce. She brought to the fore many topics and concerns I had never thought to consider. Her law firm was certainly not the least expensive, but I wanted an aggressive, but personable attorney would listen to my concerns, but not shy away from providing full-scope advice and be forward about highlighting and safeguarding my interests. It was equally as important that the attorney I chose have the respect of their peers and the of the court. Ms. Glackin has both, as was later evidenced in our dealings. I will finish by saying I highly recommend her to those who are looking for a thorough, efficient attorney with EXPERT knowledge in family law, and with respect to the specific circumstances of military cases. I was able to rest easier knowing I had received sound advice and specific advice about a way forward.

Life changing experience

No one wants to come out of divorce on the short end! Maureen Glackin is sharp! She knows the law and understands the emotion that comes along with the territory! She listened to my concerns, provided the timely and accurate documents, informed me of my options, then worked with me to make smart deci...sions! By the time the war ended, I had to pull my car over and take it all in. I was truly relieved from the stress I carried for many years. Her firm provided sound support, understanding, and quality service, definitely worthy of the fee. I recommend she be the first person called when you need an attorney. No doubt about it!!

Wort every penny

After meeting with Maureen she immediately did research on my case, gave me detailed information regarding the matter and I told her "I want you to represent me!" We continued to go over my case (divorce, property & seperation) and she had so much knowledge that she educated me on regarding the b...est way to resolve the issues I faced. Her professionalism and presentation is commanding, she will fight for her client. She made a phone call to the other parties attorney and settled a matter in minutes which gave her sufficient time to prepare my case. In court she carries a level of confidence that is obvious to the entire courtroom. She is not only respected by other attorneys as a subject matter expert in Military Law, she is respected by Judges as well. Her unique ability to break down an attorneys arguement was something you only see in movies. I have already recommended her to people who are seeking divorce attorneys. She was able to accomplish a successful trial and it ended in my favor. I wish she would get a reality show because she is definitely the superhero attorney you want on your side. She is definitely worth every penny and I highly recommend her just as she was highly recommended to me. This attorney is more than golden she is a Diamond!

Highly Recommended

When I first met with Ms. Glackin, I knew within the first 10 mins that she was the perfect lawyer to represent me in my divorce case. My fight against my ex was a tough and long process, however, Ms, Glackin stood by my side the entire time and was able to use her military knowledge to fight for th...e rights that my daughter and I deserved. During the entire process, Ms. Glackin helped me understand what needed to be done, explained valuable information to me and supported my daughter and me. She was very patient with me when I had questions and needed to understand what was going to happen and what needed to be done to be successful. I truly believe that a Higher Power led me to Ms. Glackin and her services. Her professionalism was impeccable throughout, whether in meetings, mediation, but especially during the court hearing. If you are a single mom, facing a difficult military divorce, I highly recommend Maureen Glackin to represent you and your family.

Horrible Experience!

I would not recommend Maureen Glackin to anyone, and definitely not to any military member going through a divorce. Ms. Glackin claimed to know military law, but the truth of the matter is, she’s looking to give away half of your pension to the other side and then tell you it’s the law without ta...king any facts into consideration. It seemed she’d made up her mind on how the case should proceed; she never reviewed tons of documents that I provided and seemed irritated whenever I would provide input or ask questions about the status of my concerns. She would read my email inquiries and ignore them for days, sometimes weeks; and when she responded, she was condescending and dismissive. I did not trust anything she said because I felt she was not devoting enough time on my case, and definitely did not have my best interest at heart! Whenever I would question her about her decisions, she would tell me to get a new lawyer if not satisfied with her decisions. I felt stuck, and although not happy, I did not want to change horses in midstream, so I stayed and hoped for the best. But after 2.5 yrs of such poor representation and hostile attorney client relationship, I ended her services and got a new attorney who listened to me, and was able to get the result I was hoping for.
