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.

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!

Generous, patient, honest and caring

We hired Steve to help us pursue legal action against multiple defendants on behalf of our special needs daughter. Our case just ended after five years and Steve was with us every step of the way. He always had our daughter's best interests in mind and in his heart. He was very generous with his ...time. He was very patient and understanding as our case was quite stressful. He ultimately helped us reach a settlement that we were satisfied with (he always said a good settlement was one in which neither party was really happy), so he's realistic and honest too. But I think we got more out of our settlement because of his strategy and style than we would have with a different attorney. If you have a child in need legal representation, there's no one better than Steve.

Knowledgeable, Helpful, Timely

Mr. Glink has consulted with me about several issues that have come up with COVID-19 and ADA accommodations for me as a teacher. This has been a terribly stressful time and Mr. Glink has been very generous with his time and advice. He has been honest about the possible outcomes even though that would... cause me to reconsider the legal route. I appreciate his knowledge of the educational setting and hope that his generous consultations will be all I require. If things go south quickly, Mr. Glink will be the one I choose to help me through.

Highly recommend!

We were looking for support with a situation my son was involved in at his University and were referred to Steve by an attorney friend. Steve was incredibly helpful in answering our questions and providing us the guidance we needed. He responded to us very quickly and was both patient and kind dur...ing all communication with us! The recommendations he gave were spot on, resulting in a very favorable outcome in the situation. Thank you for all the help and guidance you provided during a very stressful time! I would highly recommend Steve to anyone needing support with matters involving Education Law/Rights.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
