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.
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.
