Glen Downey is a sorry excuse for a lawyer
Glen threatened my wife with jail if she didn't wave her preliminary he told her there was an officer there waiting to arrest her.

Criminal defense attorney
Glen was a great lawyer. He was always willing to go the extra mile for his client. Always willing to explain everything In terms that you understood. Glen is always willing to listen and help you understand what you’re up against.

Did what he was supposed to do
He was timely and efficient and got my situation cleared up with a deferred judgement. I could not have asked for anything more. He was really concerned about me as a person. People post bad stuff about lawyers when they dont get good things happening to them, so dont believe bad reviews.

Excellent and Compassionate
He was an excellent attorney, very compassionate and knowledgeable. He helped me when no other lawyer would. He is not to expensive either. If I ever need a lawyer this will be my first and last call. Brilliant and he kept me informed during the whole process.
Glen Stephen Downey's Lawyer Endorsements
"I've known Glen since he was in law school and he had volunteered his time to serve on a panel of law students willing to assist people who needed legal help, but couldn't afford it. He is a lawyer for all the right reasons: He is passionate about the law and helping people through their legal troubles. In the process, he is protecting all of our civil rights. We need more lawyers in the profession like Glen Downey."

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.
Reprimand issued in IA, 2018
updated on 03/13/2018This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
