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.
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.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer
"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."
