Best lawyer ever!!!

I hired Chris for a DUI case; I have my medical rec and recently smoked before leaving the house. Confused and conflicted, I hired Chris as my lawyer and I cannot be happier with that decision. I got my DUI dropped, all because of him! He is very highly recommended and was genuine, helpful, and profe...ssional.

Amazing Attorney

I will start by saying Chris Glew is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who is very familiar with how the court system operates and knows how to deal with prosecutors. I give him my highest recommendation. I was arrested last year and charge with feloney possession and distribution of marajuiana. Af...ter interviewing several attorneys first, I then interviewed ChrisI and immedidatly knew he was the attorney to represent me. After reviewing my case a few weeks later at our first court hearing he assured me he could get the charges dropped. After 12 months and multiple court appearances he accomplished exactly what he said he would - all charges were dropped. This was after was two offers from the D.A. to settle the case with a reduced charge and a fine. Although I was tempted to accept the offer, Chris recomended I don't telling me that even reduced charges carried ramifications (even though it meant additional court appearances from him with no extra compensation). He kept assuring me that if I hung in there he would get the case dropped. I can't thank Chris enough for the amazing representation, advice and outcome during this very stressful situation.

The Best Attorney There Is!

I cant even put into words how much I appreciated having Mr.Chris Glew handle my case. I ran a medicinal cannabis collective. Within 10 minutes of meeting Mr. Glew I immediately realized this was the man to hand my case. He was so passionate about the case and the industry, he refused to take anyt...hing less than a dismissal. Chris kept me informed every step of the way. I went through a year long ordeal and never received bad advice and Mr Glew was there every step of the way. My case was just dismissed and i was able to file to get all the property back that was seized. Absolutely the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

Assault and battery case

I hired Mr Glew on a assault case where I was wrongly charged. The case went on for a long time but he was able to convince them of my innocence. Two other lawyers I had wanted me to plead gulity and I got case dismissed from mr Glew.

He can get you results

I had a mobile collective based in Diamond Bar. I went to several lawyers before I decided to hire Mr. Glew. My case was handled with professionalism and communication was excellent. I was charged with a 11359 and he got my case dismissed. He comes highly recommended
