He called me back !

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 was 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.

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 since issue is in another state = INTEGRIGTY, and I am grateful.

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 service 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 they 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.

Excellent Attorney

I have worked with a number of criminal and corporate lawyers but Stephen is truly one of the best. I hired Steve to work with a family member who had serious criminal charges, as well as, violating parole. He was suicidal and had mental issues that had to be addressed. His methodical handling of the case was incredible. The end result was a potential 10.5 years sentence was reduced to 1 year time served AND the most important part is, with his help with the mental illness, my relative is currently in a dual diagnosis facility getting treatment for his challenges. Communication was stellar by both his team and Steve. I highly recommend Steve for your legal challenges.

Professional, quick, expert handling of my case.

I had an unfortunate circumstance come up, totally out of my own control, that would have affected my career, were it to go further past the hearing. Stephen Glazer handled the case in a matter of weeks, getting it dismissed before it even went to trial! Stephen Glazer even spotted a mishandle of one of my prior cases and was able to get that fixed as well. The most professional lawyer I have worked with yet, very good on communication and keeping you up to date on the status of your case. If you have an issue, Better Call Stephen!

DUI DEFENSE

Steve Glazer and Melissa Deweese did an excellent job of leading me through a maze of completely foreign ground that overwhelmed me at every turn. They know exactly what, when and how to deal with every aspect of representing me efficiently, professionally and courteously. I'd recommend Mr. Glazer to anyone in need of legal representation.

FIrst Time I Needed An Attorney, Very Thankful

As other commenters have said, Steve is the best! I spent a good chunk of cash for his service but the state got $0 from me personally after Steve worked through my case logically and throughly. My case was dismissed (a wrongful drug charge, as I was just passing through Arizona). While I wish that it never happened, Steve is the reason my life is so much easier than it is worse. Thank you, Steve!

Recommendation for any family in need

Stephen Glazer went out of his way to define himself as an attorney that truly cares about his client and their family. From the very beginning Mr Glazer made himself available day or night, and he would return phone calls after business hours. He always kept me inform, and we discussed strategies for my wife's case. He even took time away from his vacation with his own family to assist in my wife's case. To me, I always walked away with a peace of mind and a great deal of hope after meeting or talking with him about by wife's case. To anyone looking for a lawyer, I want to extend my personal recommendation to Mr Glazer and his staff. They are an A+ staff, and they all truly care about their clients and their families.

Perfect Outcome in my Case

Mr. Glazer was a great attorney for me. He took plenty of time to explain specifics and I felt that he put a ton of effort into my case. The entire firm was very professional and responsive to my concerns; always getting back to me asap. Mr. Glazer is very down to earth and an easy guy to talk to. My case was originally set to go to trial, however, thanks to the vigilance and amount of time spent on my case, the prosecutor smartened up and dismissed it. I highly recommend The Glazer Law Office. It is more costly than a lot of other offices around Flagstaff, but well worth it.

Cool as ice

Before my case I consulted with several attorneys and they all promised me the world and a dismissal in my case. Mr Glazer was the only attorney who was straight forward and kept it real for the lack of better words. He worked with me and understood that I was in dire straits because of my job. Mr Glazer kept e well informed of the proceeding and answered all the questions that I had. The prosecutor in my case tried to bully my employer, my witnesses and myself in this case. Mr Glazer's cool and calm demeanor kept me in check and reassured me that I had nothing to worry about. After 7 long months of proceedings and motions, we finally got a favorable outcome. I have dealt with many attorneys in time. Mr Glazer and his legal team are top notch and by far the best legal team in Arizona. You will not be disappointed if you hire him.

The Most Honorable Award...

Mr. Glazer and his assistant Sophia both showed outstanding attention to me, my case and went out of their way to make a very uncomfortable situation, as safe and comforting as they could. A standard far above any other lawyer I have ever encountered, or even heard about. I highly recommend Steve Glazer. You can trust him. In my experience, that's a rarity in lawyers these days.
