If you have a Serious charge Bart is the man you want.

Bart is an amazing lawyer and more importantly an equally amazing person. I had a very difficult case that involving a serious felony along with multiple misdemeanor charges. I felt I needed a good lawyer. I was lucky to find Mr. Glasgow. My family was very distraught. Bart took the time to sit ...down and explain our case and options. What impressed me most is how well Bart knows the Law and is not just willing to except any proposal the District Attorneys office is willing to offer. Bart was a former prosecutor in Cobb County and know his way around the courtroom. Bart will work hard in getting you the very best possible outcome on your case. If you have serious criminal charges of any kind this is the lawyer you want in your corner. Bart will throughly review the case and prepare a strong defense. Bart is detailed and from my experience will work tirelessly to resolve your case with the best possible outcome, including trial if necessary. Bart’s courtroom presence is second to none, with a clear strong delivery and a very good understanding of the Law to go with it. Bart is not just going to lay over, from my personally experience after hiring Bart I found that he will fight for you on your behalf. Do yourself a favor and talk to Bart Glasgow if you need a Criminal Defense attorney. Dont just settle on a second rate attorney or that what you will get is a second rate outcome.

Outstanding Lawyer!!!

Mr Glasgow is an outstanding lawyer! He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects involving DUI. I learned so much from him during my case. His level of professionalism is exceptional while he still has a friendly demeanor that helped to ease the level of stress that I experienced in regard to my... case. He is trustworthy and kept me informed of all the factors involving my case along with the possible outcomes. If you want a lawyer who is well prepared, organized, trustworthy, knowlegeable and will fight for what you believe in, I would highly recommend "Bart" Glasgow!!!!!

An exceptional lawyer for DUI or criminal cases

Bart Glasgow provided me with excellent legal representation. My case was not a DUI case, but his knowledge of the legal system led to my case being dismissed all together. He is very friendly, easy to contact, and was ambitious to achieve the best result with my case. I would absolutely recommend hi...m to a friend in need of an attorney.

Very Professional

When I went to Mr. Glasgow, I really did not know what to expect. I knew my situation needed someone who knew his way around the system, but I did not know who to call, and when I found him, and read his reviews and credentials, I felt I had made the right choice. He spoke with me over the phone,... patiently listened to my story and had investigated and received information re: my case, that same day/afternoon, when I went to see him in person. His approach was very positive, and he told me exactly, step by step what he was going to do, and he did it. I know Mr. Glasgow had many clients that he was caring for, when I went to see him. But, I felt like the only one, and 3 days later, when he called and told me the case was completed, and the very positive outcome, I could not believe, this mild mannered, polite but proficient guy, had turned the world around, in a matter of hours, in the legal world. What a credit to his profession, and to the community...the world could use more people of integrity. Mr. Glasgow has my vote.

"I have known Mr. Glasgow for over 5 years as both a former prosecutor and in his present work as a defense lawyer. He has proven to be personable, professional, knowledgeable and agressive in his representation. Because he chooses to focus on just one area of law, he has developed the specialized skills and level of expertise that is far above most of his colleagues. I heartily recommend Mr. Glasgow."
