Hired Law Firm

I haven’t hired them yet, but they were super helpful on a phone call and really explained what was going on with my property/tax situation. They put my mind at ease and gave me a clear picture of my options. I will definitely hire them when I need help in the future, and even just for the guidance over the phone, I really appreciated their professionalism and knowledge.

My sincerest thanks Glenn Guttman to for your very professional help and answering all my questions, as well as for advising me on what I should do to get a property tax discount over the phone and sending me instructions via email. It is very rare to find a lawyer who is so patient and takes so much time during a conversation. When I spoke with you, I felt like you wanted to help me, not like someone who wanted to get rid of me. I'll never forget your support and kindness.

Glenn Guttman is an amazing attorney, in every aspect. Smart, thorough, knowledgeable, kind, caring…the positive adjectives could go on and on, and they all are true. Glenn fought so hard to get our property taxes lowered, and succeeded. He literally went to court to argue our case in person, and after winning, continued to argue two more past years and won those as well. Three years of refunds. Wow! Glenn works so diligently and has excellent attention to detail--he even e-mailed at 11:00pm one night with new information. Wow! And while the law is complicated, Glenn explains everything in ABC format so we can understand the ins and outs of all that he does. Wow! To close, he cares so much about his clients…and is so kind…Glenn is exactly what one would want in an attorney. Wow again! This review sounds surreal, we know, but it’s all true. And truly there are not enough words in Webster’s dictionary to describe how grateful we are to Glenn for all his care, hard work and dedication.

I have known Steven Kandelman in a professional capacity for a few years now. Steven is an extremely dedicated attorney and a zealous advocate for his clients. Steven's knowledge of real estate tax law is unparalleled, and I never hesitate to reach out to him for information. Steven is one of the most responsive attorneys I have crossed paths with and he goes the extra mile in providing both colleagues and clients with as much pertinent information as possible. I would not hesitate to refer Steven and his Firm to any of my clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
