Review Stan Glisson

Stan is an excellent defense attorney. I would hire him again without hesitation.

Posted by

Summary: I highly recommend Stan Glisson. Stan represented me recently in a criminal case that went to trial. The verdict was 'not guilty'. He studied at UW Law, was a prosecutor for several years, and is now a seasoned criminal defense attorney. He will give you the peace of mind you're looking for to get through whatever you're going through. A more detailed review is below. Detailed review: Stan recently represented me in a criminal matter. There was a lot on the line and I was looking for the best. I spoke to another attorney in Kitsap County who is a 30+ year seasoned attorney with an excellent reputation... he had too much on his schedule to take my case. After speaking with me about my case, this seasoned attorney recommended Stan Glisson. I called Stan, and after speaking with him, I knew he was the one. Stan is both an excellent speaker and listener. He has confidence without arrogance. From the day I hired him, to the first day of trial, Stan did two of the most important things an attorney can do for his client, he followed-through and communicated. If he said he was going to do something, he did it. If he recommended against doing something, he explained his reasoning. Once trial started, it got even better. A trial has a lot of moving parts, and is extremely stressful. He was prepared for trial and knew the details of my case. He was calm, cool and collected (and again, confident without being arrogant). Because Stan was a prosecutor for several years, he knows how each side works. That is a good thing! I would have hired him anyway, but that is a major advantage in my book. Stan is who you want fighting for you leading up to trial, and is absolutely who you want if your case goes all the way to trial without settling. Hire with confidence. You'll be very glad you did.

Excellent Representation

Posted by

Stan represented my son. Stan worked well and was respectful of my son. He was prepared for the trial. Stan has a professional and considerate court demeanor which I believe has a positive influence with the jurors. When the judge ruled that critical information was inadmissible, Stan persevered. He maintained a positive outlook that helped keep my son calm during the trial. His overwhelmingly respectful and considerate court presence, together with his knowledge of the law made Mr. Glisson an excellent selection. We chose him based on references of a friend and were very satisfied.

He is fair and understanding and will work hard to get you the best outcome.

Best Lawyer I’ve ever heard/had in my life!

Posted by

My struggle started when I was convicted of a second DUI and had to have a blow and go device for 5 years with other requirements involved. A 90 day license suspension turned into a year. Stan wasn’t about to let that happen. Stan was my second attorney in the case and I felt I was being robbed of justice in my defense. He was very knowledgeable and cared for me to make things right as I had been biking to work waiting to get my life back. This was all during COVID-19 so we had many over the phone conversations and emails because Stan put in the work to get to the bottom of this. He didn’t think my punishment was fair and saw I was a good person of this community who had made a mistake and surely paid the consequences. After a virtual court ruling Stan was able to get me back on the road without a blow and go, I can leave the state again. My commute to work and other destinations have made my life so much easier and I am forever thankful that I met Stan. He is a good dude in my book and I will have no problem referencing him to anyone I come across who needs help like I did. Thanks again Stan!

I received a ticket for speeding. I was afraid what would happen to my insurance rates if a speeding ticket was on my record. I contacted Stan Glisson who took care of everything for me. Not only was the ticket reduced but it was reduced so it would not show on my driving record. Stan was amazing and I would highly recommend him to everyone I know.

Stan served as an arbitrator in a personal injury case I was involved with. His decision was swift, fair, and allowed us to avoid costly litigation.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Stan is hard working and experienced. He takes good care of his clients and always seems to know what to do to get the best result.

Jeffrey Kradel, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 11, 2009
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse Stan as an outstanding attorney. I have known Stan since working with him while he was a student in law school working in criminal defense over a decade ago. Since then in his work as a prosecutor and defense attorney he has built a reputation as an extraordinary trial attorney who gets results for his clients while still treating them as human beings. In a system that can be impersonal and inhumane, Stan has a unique blend of skills that allow him to achieve incredible results for his clients, while garnering the utmost respect from judges and opponents as well.

Joseph Cutter, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 8, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer's work. He is hard working and very pleasant to deal with. He is honest and always patient. He goes the extra mile for his clients

Michael Altman, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 1, 2009
Relationship: Co-worker

Stan is a great attorney who takes the time to review client's cases and discuss their case with them in great detail. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and has great results in cases where a great result looks unattainable. When dealing with DUI's, license suspensions, or any other case involving the Department of Licensing, I am always amazed at how well he understands the complexities involved with those cases, many times knowing more than the Department of Licensing themselves.
