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.

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.

Advocate

Steve took on my son's misconduct case with the school district and was up front from the start on how things may play out. We retained him for a flat fee which we felt was fair given the circumstances. He believed in our son's case and did his best to represent him. Ultimately, we got the best outco...me with a minimal explusion given the circumstances. He was always available and wonderful with communication. We would work with him again.

Outstanding in a time of real stress

Steve was amazing in assisting us with our daughter's 504 problem, quickly understanding the problem and knowing exactly how to solve it. He is also an excellent communicator who keeps you up to date on the progress of your issue, and is easily reachable, which cannot be said for all attorneys. He he...lped solve our problem and get us the result we felt we deserved. We would not hesitate to recommend Steve for any education issues where you need legal help, because it's awfully tough to fight to system without someone like him on your side!

Parent

Steve did an excellent job handling my daughters case against her high school. He was very responsive and knowledgeable about private schools which many attorneys do not specialize in private school laws. He was able to work out an agreement in my families favor and we are totally pleased with his ...work! CHOOSE STEVE!!! He gets the job done.

  • 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.
