We met Glen unexpectedly and were so glad we did.

My son and I encountered a legal issue with no prior knowledge from the prosecuting entity, or the police, and we went to the court house to learn of it, and learn our next court date, of which we did not know, and we were flummoxed what to do. I knew Glen previously and as we walked from the courtho...use to the plaza, there he was! I asked him about the issue and he told me a statute immediately that he could use, since we already paid restitution. Shortly after, we met Glen formally and engaged him and he met with the prosecutor and the case was dismissed within 4 months or so. Glen and his team emailed us back each inquiry and always told us what was happening and I believe he felt our chagrin for the whole incident. There were not even any more court dates for us to attend. He obviously convinced the prosecutor of the merits of our defense. In the end I received back a very large part of the retainer fee, which is a helpful bonus. We are so glad we coincidentally ran into Glen at the courthouse grass that day. If you need criminal law help too, I hope you are that fortunate to speak with Glen.

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.

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!

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.
