WARNING TO FAMILIES CONSIDERING STEVEN E GLINK
WARNING TO FAMILIES CONSIDERING STEVEN E. GLINK: Parents hire attorneys during vulnerable moments believing they are paying for strong advocacy, strategic guidance, and real action. In our experience, retaining Steven E. Glink felt like throwing thousands of dollars away while receiving little com...
This case was about the production of documents. At first, the other side would not produce the documents. I advocated for my clients and got the other side to produce some documents. When I insisted that they produce all of the documents, they produced redacted documents. I argued with them to clear they redaction, but they refused citing different legal arguments. I explained to the client that the only option was to seek a court order forcing them to produce unredacted documents. I explained that litigation is a lengthy, and expensive process. I also explained that there was no guarantee that the judge would agree with our legal arguments. She declined to pursue the lawsuit. The problem was not with me or my efforts, The problem was that the client did not understand the negotiation and legal process. She did not understand that I had to review all of the unredacted documents to determine whether or not she had a viable lawsuit and that without a court order, I could not get the unredacted documents. I put more time into her case than I charged her for. I think if people read all of my reviews they will see that I am highly regarded in my field. I guess you can't please everyone.
