AMAZING

Steve worked with me on a state and federal lawsuit I had with a school district. It was long and arduous, taking 2.5 years. He was patient, smart, kind, and a true advocate for me. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had him represent me during such a difficult time.

Above & Beyond

Mr. Glink is a compassionate, well-versed, accessible, and client-first attorney of my highest esteem. A case that took much longer than expected due to a pandemic and typical, bureaucratic red tape remained at the forefront of his care, and he never waivered in his pursuit for a fair resolution in ...my favor. His calm yet assertive demeanor while my counsel helped me keep faith that a fair and winning resolution would be achieved. He was readily available when I called and/or responded very promptly. Given the anxiety-inducing nature of being involved in a case that involved possible long-term ramifications to my career, it was greatly reassuring having Mr. Glink in my corner.

They Said It Couldn't Be Done...They Were Wrong

Not only did Mr. Glink take on our case, he delivered results that we were told would never happen. He was recommended to us by one of his former clients who promised he would fight for us. And fight is exactly what he did. The communication was frequent and clear. His knowledge and experience we...re exactly what we needed to proceed confidently in this matter. If you want someone who will go to battle for you, look no further.

Excellent

Attorney Glink was hire as my attorney and he did an excellent job. Mr. Glink was very attentive to all my needs he communicated with me at all times. What I like most about him was that he dealt with my bad attitude due to the stress of the case. He’s a great attorney and he also won my case!

Amazing lawyer

I hired Steven to represent me against my district. From day one he was honest about the process and the steps that he was going to be taking on my behalf. He is constantly available for questions and advice. He was persistent and helped me and my family!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
