About Glen

Learn Glen’s areas of practice.

I am an Arizona native and have practiced law since 1997. I moved back to Prescott, Arizona over seven years ago and opened my own firm after practicing in New York for almost four years with Kindlon Shanks and Associates in upstate New York. In New York, my practice was primarily focused on felony criminal defense, with an emphasis on assisting New Yorkers with various Second Amendment rights issues. I also handled a wide array of administrative matters and a limited number of select personal injury cases. I previously worked as a prosecutor for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, the City of Phoenix Prosecutor's Office, and the Yavapai County Attorney's Office for over twelve years prosecuting almost every type of felony, misdemeanor and traffic offense. I represented the City of Phoenix before the Arizona Liquor Board for four years. Prior to becoming an attorney, I conducted financial investigations for six years for the Arizona Office of the Attorney General and then the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. I believe my combination of experiences as a defense attorney, civil and administrative practitioner, prosecutor, and investigator provide me with invaluable insights to assist my clients with their cases. I appreciate that even the most trivial case may have far reaching implications and is of the utmost importance to my clients' lives and livelihood. I look forward to meeting you and assisting with your legal issue.

Exceptional Representation, Unmatched Expertise
With the utmost respect and gratitude, I write this review for Attorney Glen S. Hammond, who meticulously and professionally navigated the complex process of my wife's criminal case, ultimately leading to its dismissal. His diverse background, encompassing roles as a defense attorney, prosecutor, civil and administrative practitioner, and investigator, provides him with a unique, invaluable edge in the legal landscape. He approached our case with unwavering patience, superior negotiation skills, and a firm dedication to unveil the truth, serving as a key catalyst in affirming my wife's innocence. Mr. Hammond's understanding of the far-reaching implications of each case, regardless of its apparent magnitude, sets him apart. His empathetic yet strategic approach, combined with his proficient legal prowess, makes him an exceptional advocate for his clients. We unequivocally recommend Mr. Hammond to anyone seeking competent, robust, and compassionate legal representation, confident that he will bring his steadfast commitment to justice to every case he undertakes.

Honest, direct, knowledgeable about the Northern AZ Court systems and well respected by his peers.
From my first conversation with Mr. Hammond, I knew I was in good hands. He was referred to me by a top ranked attorney in Phoenix. Glen was happy to answer all of my questions, some of them several times. He was always prompt in returning my calls. Ultimately, he had my charges dropped. I even received a partial refund of my retainer since he didn't have to bill me for all the hours he estimated. You will be very happy you picked Glen to represent you.

Highly recommend!
I do not write many reviews, but wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation for the service I received from Glen and also maybe help someone else make the right choice in hiring an attorney. Glen was very knowledgeable, confident, and most importantly to me was his kindness in communication and treating me with respect. He kept me calm and confident through my whole trial, which helped me maintain a healthy life while my situation was sorted out. I appreciated his and his staff's demeanor very much! It was very important to have my lawyer see the truth in my situation, who also truly wanted me to win and move on with my life. I highly recommend Glen Hammond as an attorney.

Representation of my Son
My Son and I very much appreciated Mr. Hammond's professionalism, care, and guidance, through the process of the court appearances following the unfortunate incident my Son was involved in. Additionally, he offered to assist and provide future guidance re: how and when my Son would be able to apply for rights that are suspended pending his probation period. His office staff were also professional and very helpful each time we were there. Thank you team Hammond for your hard work and support through this trying process.

Close Call in Yavapai... Glen to the Rescue!!
If I could give the Glen S. Hammond Law Office 10 stars, I would!! Incredibly responsive, open and transparent, vastly knowledgeable, reassuringly confident, unambiguously experienced, and well-connected are just a few of the characteristics that I would use to describe this firm. They put 100% effort into protecting my freedom/ record and created an outcome that far exceeded my expectations. On a weekend trip to Sedona I ran into a legal issue that carried some very serious punitive consequences. I contacted Glen Hammond and Team first thing on Monday morning and immediately received a quick response in setting up a one-on-one that afternoon. Glen offered very straight-forward and honest feedback that helped me better understand my situation and then presented a solutions roadmap to move through the next steps. He immediately provided a feeling of dedicated representation and put my very worried mind at ease with his professional and confident demeanor. Basically, we were looking to reduce my multiple Class 4 felonies to misdemeanors and to obtain a limited probation sentence, circumventing any prison time. We had then planned to meet that Thursday, prior to my court appearance, to align before entering my plea. Well that meeting never happened and a plea was never entered.. because by mid-day Wednesday, Glen had met with the Yavapai DA and had negotiated a strategy to have all of my charges dropped contingent upon completion of a county-administered Drug Diversion program. This was an absolute miracle and truly a best case scenario for my situation. No prison time, no probation, no charges on my record, and he even was able to get my confiscated firearms returned once everything was complete. AND if all of that weren’t enough… he then refunded a significant amount of my original retainer(!) as he stated that representation for diversion costs far less than for pre-trial. I mean.. who does that? Is he the most effective yet honest attorney EVER?? (yes) I can’t praise them enough and, if you’re having legal issues in Yavapai County, there is no better choice for representation than Glen and his team. I owe him a debt that extends far beyond retainers and reviews. Thanks Glen!

It’s been a pleasure retaining Glen.
Glen and his staff truly care about you. Non judgmental, honest representation. Glen treated me with dignity and respect, solving my legal situation with a clean quick resolve. His experience working with judges and district attorney’s in Yavapi county on a first name basis surly helped resolve my case to the best possible outcome. I truly appreciate Glen for how much he cares, My anxiety was high and his calming demeanor helped me through the process. What a great guy!

It is with immense gratitude and appreciation that I recommend Glen Hammond to you if you or someone you care about are in need of representation or assistance regarding a criminal law matter. His representation of my son was extremely effective and produced the best possible result. Throughout the process he was always approachable, informative, professional, caring and straight forward. He is also very pleasant to work with and consistently communicates information about the case strategy and progress, and quickly responds to all questions and concerns. Glen recently obtained an early termination of my son’s probation with a reduction of his count to a misdemeanor. We are so grateful for all he has done for us. I am an attorney in California and hold the members of my profession to a very high standard of ethics and ability. Without any hesitation, I heartily recommend Glen if you are in need of legal representation

Medical Office Manager
Glen was appointed to my daughter as her public defender. She had some pretty serious charges and there really was no fighting them. He did what he was able to do to "lessen the blow" while always treating her as a human being who made a poor choice. Once a certain amount of time had passed with no further charges, Glen filed to set aside her felony charges. Arizona does not expunge, only sets aside. Glen did this at no charge as he truly believes everybody deserves a 2nd chance at living a "normal" life. I highly recommend this extremely decent, and competent attorney. Signed, A grateful mother and her daughter who benefited the most.

Outstanding defense attorney in Prescott
If you’re in need of a criminal defense attorney in the Prescott AZ area call Glen Hammond! He is personable, smart and direct. And he is a real as they come, you will get a great defense attorney who will represent you well and keep you informed during the process. His staff is equally good and his communication is quick when you need an answer. You will never wait days, hours maybe but if possible you will get a return email in minutes. And Glen has a soft spot for veterans. He charges a flat fee and never try’s to increase that. Glen is the best!

Highly Recommend Glen Hammond
I never write reviews online but I felt compelled to share my experience with Glen and his amazing team and recommend this incredible firm to anyone in need of legal representation. If you ever find yourself in a legal situation, Glen Hammond should be your first call. Finding myself in a legal bind, I called Glen’s office and Donna assisted me thoroughly, she was amazing at answering the questions that I had, calmed some of my worries and took down my information to pass on to Glen about my case. From my first conversation with Glen I knew I would be hiring him to represent me. Glen is an amazing attorney who is knowledgeable, experienced, honest, caring and takes the time to get to know you and your individual situation, then lays out your options to put together a plan for moving forward. Glen took my case, walked me through the next steps we would take together, was always attentive to all my questions and never over promised but always over performed. Glen and his team showed me I was a priority and assisted me every step of the way. No question, email or phone call was ever left unanswered. They were always so personable and, although it is undoubtably a difficult time in your life, they always ask how you are and how your family is doing. I can’t tell you the weight that was lifted from my worried mind by just having a normal conversation with both Donna and Glen each time we spoke. I never once felt like a piece of paper or just another case, I always felt respected and treated like a person. Glen worked my case and negotiated a positive resolution and outcome for my situation and I will be eternally grateful for all that he has done for me through this process. If you are looking for an attorney that will always be honest with you and work tirelessly to reach a positive outcome for you, Glen Hammond Is the man that you need to hire.
