About Glenn
Biography
My practice is centered on providing access to justice, primarily to those who cannot afford the high fees often charged by downtown lawyers. I serve the working class and their families, as well as university students, in a variety of legal matters. I offer affordable legal fees, and I accept credit card payments. I focus on personal service. If you retain me, I will be involved in every aspect of your case, and I will be interacting with you throughout the duration of your case.
