Excellent Lawyer

Allen Glass is a remarkable lawyer. I first retained Mr. Glass almost five years ago to represent me in a custody case. As a father I did not expect much, but what I received was beyond belief. Allen’s superior knowledge of the law and meticulous strategic planning was crucial in me obtaining not ...just 50/50, but full custodial guardianship of my daughter. Allen’s keen senses of the law lead us to winning further cases and several arbitration's. In the one arbitration in which we did not win, Allen was confident that the arbitrator stepped out of their legal boundaries and suggested appealing. Allen was unfazed by this adversity and the appeal went exactly as Mr. Glass thought it would and the arbitration was reversed. Allen also cares about his clients. This has been a long, tense, and unfortunate situation that I have been a part of. When Mr. glass felt that I was starting to act petty and lose long term focus, he was quick to remind me that instant gratification is not always the best and most meaningful result. Now that these cases are over and I have had time for reflection; it is easy for me to admit that he was correct! Now if you cannot handle honesty, then Allen Glass is not your lawyer, but if you want an experienced, hardworking, and professional lawyer that actually cares about the outcome of the case then Allen Glass is your lawyer.

A Very Professional and Solid Choice as an Attorney

I worked with Allen for about 12 years on and off related to the same parenting plan. He is very organized and knowledgable and we won case after case insuring that my rights set out in the parenting plan were not violated. My daughter lived on the other side of the country so my visitation rights ...were very important to me. I believe it is because of Allen that I am able to have a relationship with my adult daughter today. Allen kept me focussed on what was important for me and my daughter's overall well being. I have nothing but respect and praise for Mr. Glass.

The Counselor...

When other attorneys wanted me to settle and hope for the best Allen convinced me that we could win--and win he did! Base on his thorough understanding of the legal system and his "timeline based" strategy, Allen was able to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat. The petitioner did not win a singl...e hearing for over two years.
