An attorney and a humanist

Mr. Glisson represented me in my case initially involving a serious car accident and a few broken bones. At the time I hired him, my injuries had healed, I was working, and was in no serious financial danger. The case proceeded accordingly, until I suffered both the loss of my job and the death of my... father, who would have been my primary source of financial support while resolving my situation. I was facing homelessness and all manner of personal catastrophe, and needed my settlement put in the express lane, so to speak. Mr. Glisson could not have been more considerate toward me or my situation. He was, to put it mildly, profoundly patient with me at a time when I was (also putting it mildly) an absolute nightmare to deal with. The compassion and understanding he showed me was above and beyond what I would expect from an attorney. I wish I could do more to thank him than this review. He would probably say he was just doing his job, but not all attorneys do their jobs with the understanding that there are real human lives behind the cases they're working. Mr. Glisson is acutely aware that his clients are real people with real problems. He is unique in that regard, and I'm immensely grateful to him.

Hospital Fall

Mr. Glisson has represented my wife and myself in two cases. One case was a hospital fall, and the other that my wife had was a fall case as well. I was very pleased with Mike. He will always treat you fair and treats you like you are part of his family. I have nothing but praise for him and his staf...f. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of an attorney!

Review Of My Attorney

Mr. Glisson has represented me in three personal injury cases - an auto accident, an injury at work, and a fall. He is a man of great integrity, he explains every process thoroughly, he calls and checks up on you and updates with the case. Very personable. I will highly recommend him to anyone who is... in need of an attorney. If I had to rate him and his staff (on a scare of 1-10, at a 10 being the highest) I would give them a 10. He is the GREATEST!!!

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.
