very compassionate, and understanding

While explaining the situation with Ryan, I immediately noticed that he cared very much about the case and wanted to help in any way he could. He is straight forward and isn't just about getting a client like most lawyers that I have came across. My family is very thankful and grateful for the info...rmation that we have received from Mr. Mcglinn. I must say that there should be more lawyers like him. I highly recommend anyone to hire Mr. Mcglinn.

Excellent Work!

Ryan was an enormous help in a matter concerning a social hosting charge against my daughter. He very clearly explained the law, the possible consequences and what we could expect at the hearing. He was prompt, thorough, friendly, and really helped relieve a lot of the stress we were feeling. I ...highly recommend Ryan to anyone facing a juvenile court issue.

THE BEST LAWYER FOR YOUR CHILD'S CASE

I am a retired attorney. Over the past thirty years, I have known or worked with over 100 attorneys. When my son was accused of DUI with drugs, I called my most trusted attorney friends. They all referred me to McGlinn & McGlinn. They treated my son with compassion and respect. Due to their neve...r ending hard work, my son's case was ultimately dismissed. This was an extremely difficult case as that my son's blood tested positive for marijuana and xanax. Both Mike McGlinn and his son Ryan McGlinn worked as a team to represent my son. They are also the most reasonably priced juvenile lawfirm in town-and the most important thing-THEY ARE RESULTS ORIENTED!!

Competent, Great Attorney

Ryan McGlinn was recommended to me by a well know law firm in Los Angeles to handle my domestic abuse case. I honestly don't know what I would have done without Mr. McGlinn. I filed for divorce from my husband of only a year and ten months and was moving out when suddenly and unknowingly he accused ...me of hitting him, which was a false statement. He filed a police report and a temporary restraining order and I was served by a Sheriff at my new home. It was the scariest thing I have ever encountered in my whole life. I called Ryan McGlinn late on a Friday evening and he answered the phone himself as he was working late. From that point on, he worked tirelessly on my case for a whole month. He was able to go before the judge himself and was granted a temporary restraining order on my behalf against my husband. I was working and unable to go to court myself. Mr. McGlinn was very compassionate and at the same time, very competent. He did not make me feel bad about any question I asked him. When I emailed or called him, he was very prompt in getting back to me. I never had to wait long for any answers, which is very important when experiencing anxiety like I was at this time. He knew the law very well and had experience in handling domestic abuse cases. His writing skills are excellent and accurately expressed. He did not judge me in any way and answered my many questions very professionally. He even worked on a Saturday to accomodate my schedule. My case was settled in court in a very nonthreatening way. Ryan knows how to talk to the judge and it is obvious he has a lot of experience in the courtroom. I am so grateful that this restraining order is not on my permanent record,as justice was served. I would recommend Ryan McGlinn for any and all cases he specializes in.

They Got me on the Right Track

As long as I was true to myself... These lawyers gave me the compassion and the devotion to justice. Father and son complimented each otherto get the job done and to get my life back on track. They made me believe in myself. Hopefully I will never need their help again for something like this matt...er... But for someone in great need for a lawyer I give my thanks and deep appreciation.
