Went over and beyond.. got me a great settlement

David Glatthorn was referred to me by another attorney I knew personally, I had never been involved in an injury causing accident and had no idea what to expect. I was involved in a health debilitating accident on April 10th 2015 , he and his staff especially paralegal Sylvia walked me through the p...rocess, set expectations and followed through with all they said they would. They handled the other person's insurance litigator with expertise and deft swiftness, despite there many attempts to undermine my case and offer me a $10,000 settlement. David and his associates were having none of that despite the numerous efforts the other insurance company made I was awarded full settlement in the case.in the amount of $300,000. I highly recommend him and his team if you are considering and Accident attorney I promise you that you will not be disappointed they are friendly, professional, caring and have full knowledge of accident law. They were beyond fully competent and I cant thank them enough for what they did for me in a very trying time in my life dealing with the excruciating pain I was in.

Excellent attorney in every aspect. Highly recommend!

David Glatthorn was OUTSTANDING as my attorney after I was in a car wreck. He fought like a bulldog for me, always with the highest ethics and professionalism, until achieving an excellent resolution of my case. Mr. Glatthorn, and his excellent staff, kept me well informed on all aspects every step... of the way and made sure I understood. It's also important to note that Mr. Glatthorn is a very knowledgeable and experienced civil trial lawyer and will not hesitate to take a case to trial should it be deemed necessary to achieve what is best for you. If you are ever in need of a Personal Injury Attorney you could choose no better than David Glatthorn. Excellent attorney in every aspect. Highly recommend!
