Jacob came in after my case was screwed up -

Having had no criminal record whatsoever and no experience with being treated like a criminal, I found myself in the position of being charged with a serious felony. As a result of my lack of experience, I initially retained a defense attorney who didn't care and who took a lot of money and basicall...y fed me to the wolves (before him I had a Public Defender - do not EVER use a PD - EVER, you will go DOWN). As a person who plead no contest to a felony I did not commit, after the non-caring attorney told me it was no big deal and would eventually "go away" - I found myself in bad water with a DA who literally was hell bent on destroying my life even after I plead and accepted 5 horrible years of probation. Then I found Jacob - and he has done a pretty great job of running interference with the DAs office to keep them from jamming me again while stuck on probation. He's gotten me out of bad jams that could have taken me away from my child and my life again, and for that I am very grateful. At the start he dealt with a serious Nazi probation officer and cooled things down. Luckily I have a reasonable PO now. Now Jacob will be doing my early termination motion and expungement and when we get through that I am sure I will have more glowing things to report. He is fighting to get my probation time cut in half so I can have my life back. Jacob inherited a handful of really bad junk created by another attorney when he took my case and he has done well having to clean up the mess. I hired him because he sat as a prosecutor for the DAs office in Compton for five years and he knows the underbelly of how DDAs work, intimately. My judge respects Jacob, it is obvious, that was also important to me. In the face of a ranting DDA, the judge had open ears for the reasonable voice of Jacob in court. The DAs office will talk to him when they will not talk to outsiders (ie: when my lazy attorney called the DDA pre-conviction, he NEVER got a call back) Jacob, I believe will provide a zealous advocacy for clients he represents in criminal court. When he faces a challenge, I can see his mind at work getting the angle and getting the edge. He always showed up for court, and he paid attention to the calendar. He returns messages. He follows through. And when the cops are about to arrest you, he shows up if he's nearby. I can securely recommend this attorney - and I have done so already for two friends.

"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.""
