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!

Excellent and knowledgeable lawyer who truly cares about his clients

Glen was recommended to us in the Fall of 2019 to represent our son on drugs and firearms charges Our son had gone out to Arizona from Virginia to be treated for drug and alcohol abuse. Unfortunately he had relapsed several times and he finally got in trouble with the law. Our son agreed to go to ...a recovery center near Denver, Colorado. Glen spoke with Alek several times and kept us his parents informed every step of the way as to what was going on. He was very thorough in explaining what was going on and in answering any questions we had. He arranged it with the judge so that our son could complete the 3 month recovery program in Colorado. He also was able to get our son's sentence reduced by quite a bit. He is a very caring human being and it was obvious to us that he really truly cared about the well being of his clients. We flew to Arizona the beginning of January 2020 to be with our son when he appeared in court. It was obvious to us that Glen had worked many hours on our son's case. After court out in the hallway my husband and I were of course very upset to see our son being taken to jail, and Glen was very understanding and sympathetic. Since then we have had some questions and Glen has always been very responsive in answering our questions. We would highly recommend him!!

An Exceptional Attorney - A Remarkable Man

Glen Hammond is truly an exception to the "reputation" of lawyers. He is definitely serving the needs of his client: it is uppermost in everything he does. Mr. Hammond represented my son on drug and weapons charges. Through the entire jail/court process, he talked with my son to learn more about h...im, who he is and details about his life. I believe this gave Mr. Hammond a full picture of who he was representing and allowed him to present my son to the Judge and Prosecuting attorney in the very best light. This is an extremely exhausting process for both client and family. Mr. Hammond did his very best to provide support and information to make it bearable, for this he will always have my gratitude. While my son serves his sentence (shortened greatly by Mr. Hammond's expertise and presentation of the case) he remains most appreciative of all that was done for him. I highly recommend Mr. Glen Hammond. He was diligent, thorough, knowledgeable and kind throughout the long haul.
