Peter K Glazer

I came to Peter to get help with my pending divorce after a disastrous start with another lawyer. Yes, his fees are high, but I feel like I paid for the best and got it. He is efficient, and I never felt like he was padding the bill. He might dictate a letter and have his assistant type it up for ...a total charge of 30 minutes, whereas a less experienced attorney would charge one or two hours to write a similar document. Peter demonstrated excellent knowledge and experience. Most importantly, he has a strong personality. I don't want a lawyer who just does what I say. I want one who can explain to me the situation I'm in and the options I have, whether I want to hear it or not, and then let me choose my path.

I went to Mr. Glazer for a consultation last month. During my consultation he made me feel like his opinion was all that mattered, he talked over me constantly and would get up several times during our meeting and walk out. I asked the assistant where he was going. He seemed puzzled too. I found ...it to be very unprofessional and rude. I was very shocked he conducted things this way. I ended up finding an attorney who wasn't pompous and rude.

I went to him for divorce advice. He was VERY knowledgeable, however he originally told me that the consultation should be about an hour long at $350.00 an hour. When I went to see him there was a point where he was giving me information that I told him I didn't need to know at the time, however he... continued to tell me it anyway. Because of this and the fact that he liked to talk, my consultation appointment ended up being almost 2 hours long. I walked away having paid over $600.00 which I struggled to make up for months afterward!!! 4 months later when I had made my final decision to file for divorce, he would not return my phone calls personally (where I had talked to him on the phone easily twice before my consultation). Finally after 3 unreturned phone calls I spoke to his secretary who informed me that not only may he now be too busy to handle my case, but also that his fees had gone up to $395 and hour. Digusted, I had to start my search for a new attorney all over again!!!
