Review Robert Glass

Relentless and exceptional service

Posted by

After being in a car accident I started researching personal injury attorneys on Avvo. I came across Robert’s information along with 3 other firms. I booked and had consultations with 4 firms from large to small in size but Robert stood out from the crowd. When we met he took time to genuinely listen, provided sincere empathy, and set expectations. I wasn’t another number for him but he is genuinely passionate and intentional about what he does and has the results to prove it. He laid out possible outcomes along with the pros and cons. He made it clear his firm will go as far as I’m willing but he has no problem with going to trial if needed to get the maximum outcome. And that’s exactly what Robert did. He relentlessly went after 2 different insurance companies on my behalf. He was always very responsive from calls to emails during the entire process. Even when COVID hit and the courts closed he didn’t stop. He said he wasn’t sure when things would return but he wanted to get ahead of it so he kept pursuing the claims. The outcome was he got 1 to settle for 100% of the claim maximum and got the 2nd insurance company to settle for 80% of the underinsured motorist claim after initially being offered only 12%. He would have gone after 100% but I wanted to stop. From day one Robert Glass and his team provided exceptional service from proactively communicating every step, expectation, and outcome to relentlessly defending my case to get the maximums. He is now my #1 recommendation.

Car accident settlement

Working with Robert Glass was amazing. I started with another firm and didn’t feel confident that they were working for my best interest. As soon as I started working with Robert I knew he was on my team and ready to fight for me. He was very transparent and took the time to make sure I understood the entire process. In the end we settled for higher than I was expecting. Don’t look anywhere else, Robert is the best out there!

Although auto accidents can sometimes be fatal and sometimes not, the residual effects could possibly follow you for a lifetime. However, to have the support from someone that takes the time, puts forth their time and concerned natured professionalism, a keen listening ear and guidance. All while doing their job should be commended. Robert Glass you ROCK! And again, my family and I appreciate you and thanks.

Atty. Robert Glass is a true professional who did a great job with our personal injury case. From the very beginning, Atty. Glass knew exactly what to do to get us a fair settlement. Throughout the process, he answered all of our questions and concerns by returning every email and phone call. His expertise and professionalism is second to none. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

The level of service I received from Robert and his staff was absolutely amazing. Considering the circumstances that surround Personal Injury cases, I felt completely at ease with the process from start to finish. Robert was prompt in correspondence and I was always updated on we were in our case. Most importantly, I always felt that he had my best interest in mind, never making me feel like I was "just another client".

Tammy Holcomb, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 25, 2020
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Attorney Glass and I met quiet by accident over an issue involving a medical provider, but I knew right away that he was the kind of person who wants to be available to fellow lawyers and clients. He never hesitated to speak with me if I had a question and lawyers who take time away from running a firm to hop on a call with me are also doing the same for their clients. I know that anyone I refer to Attorney Glass and his firm will be handled with care, will be given the attorney's time to understand the Personal Injury process, and will benefit from the experience of a highly successful and experienced and successful Personal Injury attorney. I endorse this lawyer!
