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% eff...ort 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 p...rocess 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

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 f...urther 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.
