Great Family Law Attorney

Mr. Rabenn knows his stuff - Family Law, that is. If you are ever in need of a professional, courteous, ethical attorney Glen Rabenn is your man! He has helped me tremendously in his efforts to secure the best outcome for my divorce. I applaud him and his legal assistant, Sandra!

I WOULD GIVE GLEN RABENN 10 STARS BUT THEY ONLY GAVE ME 5!

I was happy to find yet another location to write my feelings about a person who I feel sets himself way above the standard of excellence in his field. I cannot say enough about his outstanding attributes a family law attorney. As a father involved in a lengthy divorce and custody dispute, I w...as involved in a protracted and very unpredictable divorce proceeding. Glen and his team provided sensible alternatives and options which made practical sense, and he was a master in providing me with what I "needed" to hear not what I "wanted" to hear. Glen truly cares about his clients and their families. Glen and his team balance sound legal representation with efficiency, communication, compassion, and class. He sets the bar of ethics high, and in the tumultuous world of family law, Glenn continues to raise this bar. Glen listens incredibly well. His sound advice for me to "always wear the white hat" helped me keep my parental poise while the proceedings took place; moreover, it helped me be a better parent in the 15 years since. Glen has "street smarts" and knows his way amazingly around the courtrooms and courthouses. He is respected by judges, clerks, and especially the opposing attorneys. On an additional note, I have never met anyone who was so fond of technology and willing to embrace the latest device to enhance efficiency. I would gladly refer Glen to anyone desiring the best in family legal support. Without reservations, I strongly recommend Glen Rabenn for family law matters.

Trust your family case with Glen...I did and I'm glad I did. I keep referring him because he's the best!

Dear Glen, As you know I had a very difficult case with my son’s mom wanting to move out of the country and take my son. To make matters worse, we had never been married and no established paternity. I interviewed 12 lawyers for this enormous task and choose you. Not only did you allow me to be inv...olved in the case you had no ego to deal with. You made every effort "thinking out of the box" that made the difference for me and my son. I am forever grateful, and I thank GOD often for creating men like you. Additional Review... May 2013 I wrote the above review of Glen many years ago...my son is now 19 years old. I run a large company over 140 people. Unfortunately from time to time people I know and people whom work for me have needed a family lawyer. Without hesitation I refer Glen Rabenn. Each time I have referred Glen I am thanked repeatedly for the referral. I have always referred Glen and I will continue to refer the best family lawyer I have ever met. Trust your family with Glen and you will refer him too.

HIGHLY Recommended. Glen saved my life.

I'm a tough-as-nails reviewer and my expectations are far higher than most. I expect results and professionalism, and with Glen I got both. In my divorce case, every trick in the book was played-out by my ex and her experts. Emotions ran very high. However, Glen was the consummate professional ...and he handled my case extremely well. My case required the use of forensic accountants, business evaluation experts, property appraisers, a full time bookkeeper, a vocational appraiser and a financial analyst. Glen recommended many of these experts and they served me well. I note that Glen received a poor rating from someone who claims to have used him 20 years ago, and that reviewer is still very angry with his divorce outcome. Too bad that reviewer did not use Glen for the entire matter (he only used him for a short period of time at the beginning of the case) Had this reviewer continued with Glen throughout the case, his results would have likely been far more favorable and less contentious. He likely would not be still carrying the anger and resentment 20 years hence. Listen, all divorces are tough. By design, the process pits one person against the other, and when money and children are involved tempers flare even more. My case was no different. However, Glen's style kept things civil, and in the end, things turned out better because of Glen's approach and significant experience. He knew opposing counsel, he knew the experts, he knew the judges. There is just so much to be said for that kind of experience and a great reputation in this area of specialty. The reviewer that gave Glen the bad marks claims that his life fell apart and things are just horrible. Well let me just say that my life only got BETTER because of Glen Rabenn and things have never been better in the past 25 years. Life is great, my mental health is great, my relationships with family and friends are FAR better, my financial position is improving and all is good because Glen Rabenn got me through my divorce so successfully.
