A client for life

Josh and his team were very supportive and helpful in navigating a confusing process. I'm very happy with their work and truly recommend their services.

Good Personal Iniury Lawyer

was in a rear end car accident last year and hired Mr. Glotzer’s office. It wasn’t a big case but their office helped me with my property damage claim and did a good job resolving the injury portion of the case as well.

Best Personal Injury Attorney

My husband and I are both from California and recently moved to Las Vegas. We unfortunately suffered an accident and felt overwhelmed and did not know who to talk to. Mr. Glotzer was highly recommended by a close friend and he was able to give us peace of mind and help us through the process. My husb...and and I both received a higher settlement than expected. We are both very grateful for his help.

EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION

Josh was my life saver today... well it felt like it. I'm a civil consumer attorney and my client was being threatened by a deputy that he would arrest her because a dealership claimed she stole a vehicle (she did not, she has a contract, she has made payments). It was an insane situation to get a ...call from my client saying she was being arrested. I talk fast but Josh understand the facts very quickly. (I often tell my friends not to call me if they are being arrested- I know nothing about criminal law)... My clients and my friends will call Josh if they are ever in that situation. Josh chewed the deputy out, avoided arrest for my client, and was spectacular to listen to. Thank you Josh for jumping in and helping me today.

He has proven time after time that having the right defense lawyer on your side if you ever find yourself in trouble is essential to resolving the situation on the most favorable terms possible, whether that be obtaining a complete dismissal, working out a plea bargain that is in the client's best interest, or taking a case to trial and getting an aquittal.

I would highly recommend him for any criminal defense matter!"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
