There is so much to say about Jake. Boy, where to start? First off, Jake is well connected and knows LA's courts, prosecutors and judges like nobody's business. That alone breeds excellent results, and he obtains them -- often. He's an all-around great lawyer: law and motion, good with clients, knows how to try a case (easily), and an excellent negotiator. If I was in a tight spot, I'd hire Jake, that's to be sure.

Jacob Glucksman is a fellow Criminal Defense attorney who I can count on to refer my uniquely challenging matters in the criminal arena - those matters that very few other criminal defense attorneys have the ability and confidence to take on. His experience as a former Deputy District Attorney is invaluable. But above all, his professional demeanor, his earned respect among the profession, and his compassion for his clients make him what I call a "go-to colleague."
