He called me back !

I am searching for help on an old case that haunts me and reached out to Stephen and he guided me in the correct direction, even though my case is in another state. Stephen took the time to give me direction and HOPE, even though, before he called me back, he knew he wouldn't be making any money sinc...e issue is in another state = INTEGRIGTY, and I am grateful.

I would give 10 stars if I could!

I had a DUI and had to look for a lawyer to represent me. I was desperate and needed a lawyer quickly. I had frantically called five other law offices and thankfully, only Mr. Glazer answered me. All others were unavailable. I remember walking into Stephen R. Glazer's office in 2017, scared of what w...as to come following my DUI mistake. I was terrified that it would end my professional career as I knew it. After our meeting however, I knew I had made the right decision in selecting his office to represent me. He never sugar-coated anything, but after hearing about examples of how cases like mine ended up in his experience, I had hope. Fortunately for me, no charges were filed and the timely updates from his office about the case throughout the years reassured me of the second chance I had been given at life. I did not take the second chance for granted because I know of others who were not so lucky. I chose to give up drinking. I am now a mother of a daughter and another on the way living a blessed life. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the prompt action in my defense for whatever questions arise regarding my case, including employment background checks. I highly recommend him! I am also very grateful for Jacob Smets, Jennifer Hammond and others in the office for assisting me with my case. If you need legal assistance, look no further than Glazer Hammond, PLLC.

Steve Glazer

Steve worked diligently to get the best possible outcome for my case. I would not have been able to do this by myself. Steve's professionalism, dedication to his clients, and determination to the case is what sets him apart. I am thankful I had him in my corner.

Outstanding, Experienced and Skillful Attorney

Today on Thanksgiving, I must give credit to Stephen Glazer and show him the gratitude he so richly deserves. A few months ago, I needed an attorney in Northern Arizona for a potentially serious and life-changing matter. I called several attorneys in the area for consultations. Some gave me lip servi...ce about how they could handle the issue without a problem. They were not to be trusted - no worthwhile attorney should ever make promises or guarantees. Other attorneys seemed competent and capable, but lacked the experience I was seeking for this serious matter - I was not willing to take chances with my future. Stephen gave me an candid assessment of the situation, which made me comfortable that he understood the importance of the matter. He described his experience and credentials and told me how he intended to proceed. I knew he was slightly more expensive than some of the other attorneys in the area, but the confidence he instilled in me made his fee worth it - as were the results. Once I hired Stephen, he immediately took action. He and his staff communicated regularly with me and gave me updates whenever they had them. Within days - and despite courthouses being closed due to the pandemic - he was able to resolve my matter. That was a testament to the relationships he created over time and to his reputation in the legal community. Stephen took care of me as if I was his most important client. I could not appreciate him more or recommend him more highly - he is a skillful and outstanding attorney.

Excellent Law Firm, Extremely Attentive

I hired Steve Glazer and Jake Smets in early 2019 through early 2020. As soon as I hired Steve, he and his associates handled everything I needed and communicated extremely well. Any question I had was answered by email within an hour. This firm knows the nuances of Arizona law extremely well, and th...ey have great relationships with the people they work with in Northern Arizona. I would not hesitate to refer Steve Glazer and his firm to anyone. It was an honor to work with them.
