About Glen
Biography
My approach to criminal defense: I defend every client the way I would want to be defended if I found myself charged with crime. I fight with everything I have and put myself at risk if necessary to protect my client. Often times at trial...a judge will try and screw over the defendant with unfair rulings. I don't stand for it. If a judge is acting with bias I call it out loud and clear. The only way our justice syste works is when a defendant is given a fair trial with due process. When that happens the truth will find its way and the jury will reach the right decision.
I wake up early every morning and surf to start my day. It keeps me in shape and puts me in a good mood. I am an avid outdoorsman. I love fishing and hunting. I work hard and play hard and approach every day as though it might be my last.

Outstanding Professional
I hired Mr. Jonas for a sensitive legal matter. He prepared all the pleadings accurately, promptly filed them, appeared at the hearing and resolved the matter efficiently. I have referred him to other clients who all had similar experiences. Definitely an outstanding lawyer!
