Outstanding and Compassonate

Attorney Glickman is a highly intelligent, knowledgeable but highly compassionate individual. He took my case in a time of great need as I am 70 years of age and have been afflicted by very serious medical issues that have nearly cost me my life in recent years. The treatments and recuperation have been time consuming on me. I had another attorney before Mr. Glickman as in the areas of probate and trust and they were not very convincing at all and did not show the compassion nor the intellect of the matter he has exhibited to me. He is always available by phone or email and responds back to you quickly. I would highly without reservation recommend Attorney Glickman to anyone.

Excellent choice

Fred is an outstanding attorney and saved me many times from misconstruing what I took to be adverse events. I was able to decide on his representation within one day, he was that far ahead of the competition in responsiveness and in his understanding the law relevant to my case. The whole process of a lawsuit is an education and Fred is an excellent guide to the process. He’s also a genuinely good guy.

Quick and Efficient consultation

He took my call very quickly and gave me some very valuable information about a Living Trust to be used in a Life Insurance

Great lawyer! Very knowledgeable, very kind.

He took my call, reviewed my case and replied to me very fast on what needed to be done. Thank you so much for your help and advice. I really appreciated it.

Compassionate - Experience - Knowledgeable

It is very few lawyers that communicate on a layperson level and make legalese understandable. I admire people who can and willing to help with God given common sense. This is a decent fellow.

Posted by Steve | January 28, 2022

Excellent good natured probate lawyer

There is a good reason Attorney Glickman is a prominent probate lawyer. He is an honorable man with integrity and legal experience that few people possess. He is proof that you can be smart, successful, and still be a nice guy. Gives great advice too. I consulted with him after my father passed away and he was very kind. He explained what needed to be done and everything worked out just as he said it would. If there was a Hall of Fame for lawyers he would be inducted on the first ballot.

Client

Mr. Glickman completed my estate documents eleven years ago, and I have felt safe and secure since that time. I have called on him several times to ask advice or make changes and he has always been available and helpful. The best part is he always seems to remember me! I've moved from Miami, but he's still being my helpful lawyer, when I've needed him.

Great Attorney Highly Recommend

So grateful to have Fred as my attorney! After the unexpected loss of my husband, I was told I needed to begin the probate process. Completely at a loss of what needed to be done, I started researching online and came across Mr. Glickman's profile, he had great reviews, and with 40 plus years of experience, I felt like he was a great choice. I contacted Mr. Glickman's office, and he responded to me almost immediately. He made me feel at ease with the process and answered all of my questions. He has continued to be very responsive and is very on top of my case, keeping me informed and helping me with anything I have questions about. So very grateful I came across his profile that day. If your looking for representation, don't hesitate call his office! He really is a great attorney, and you won't be disappointed!

Great lawyer

Fred is wonderful. He responds to my calls and emails immediately. He never keeps me waiting. He explains the law and how it applies to me. He keeps me updated on all proceedings that are going on in my case. I am in a very nasty probate situation and his guidance has kept me sane. Great guy and even better lawyer. His knowledge of the law and experience are very evident. So glad I hired him. He is a lawyer who cares.

An attorney who treats you like family

Mr Glickman was such a great help in helping my parent’s get their estate in good order, and then when my mom passed not too long after, he was a huge help to me in taking care of things. Always responsive and helpful every time I had a question or a need for legal help.

Fred Glickman was beyond Great. I do not give reviews about anything until now. Fred was incredibly proficient, understanding, and represented me better than any attorney I have ever used. He was aggressive in every aspect of my situation. He even instructed the opposing attorney on what to legally write in order to receive my final outcome. He is straight forward, honest in expectations and extremely knowledgeable in Trust Law. There is no doubt that any other Trust Attorney could or even would have done better. My review is 100% accurate, true and is a pleasure for me to write something good about anyone in todays world. Do not hesitate to ever call or hire him for any guidance with your issue. Fred is a tremendous attorney and a wonderful human being to work with. A very rare combination.

ALL STAR

I’m a Trustee for a family member that resided in West Palm Beach and passed away. I reside in Los Angeles and I had to hire an attorney in Florida which complicated things. After reviewing several attorneys I decided to hire Fred Elliott Glickman, it was the best decision I made. He was honest, straight forward and quoted me a reasonable fee. I would highly recommend him.

Fred Glickman Superstar Attorney for the People

Fred Glickman has gone above and beyond helping me with my Partition and Guardianship. My mother passed away and my sibling had control of her estate and mishandled it. Mr. Glickman with much compassion and great professionalism and expertise has and is currently helping me navigate through the these very emotional and trying times. He has proven to me he understands my struggle and has become a friend to call on. He is highly accredited and very much regarded in his field. I used attorneys is the past to deal with this situation and Fred has been the only one to truly do the work and know the laws, my rights and all that entails providing excellent service. He answers every call and every email in a very timely fashion and I can always count on him. He is not swayed at all by the other attorney representing my sibling and has shown me he is ready to go head to head regardless of what is thrown at him. He is a man of integrity, which is not easy to find these days. I know I will prevail with Fred on my side and I look forward to seeing this through. I highly recommend Fred Glickman and will forever be grateful to him and his firm for the excellence they provide.
