Excellent Lawyer

Glenn prepared a will and other estate planning documents for my wife and me. Glenn was able to help me structure my assets (including my family business) to minimize tax consequences and insure my heirs are treated fairly. Glenn does a great job explaining complicated legal issues in a way that is s...imple to understand. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with estate planning, whether your situation is complicated like mine or simple.

A Professional and Trustworthy Lawyer

I met Glenn when a close friend decided to leave me in charge of her complex estate. Since then, he has guided me every step of the way. Glenn has been very open and honest with me. He has kept me informed of every detail of the trust. He is very professional and responsive. So, when my husband ...and I decided to update our estate plan, we turned to Glenn. He was very thorough and attentive to details. Glenn is very personable and easy to work with.

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.
