Glen represented me some years back with my grandfather's estate. He is very knowledgeable about estates and only works in this field. We were able to get my grandfather's estate squared away quickly and out of the wrong persons hands. I highly recommend Glen as he tells you what he really thinks and gets the job done.

Hired Law Firm
When you walk in, you are greeted with a pleasant smile and escorted back to one of the lawyers in the firm. Four years ago, Jackie helped me find a publishing company in which I am grateful. She is magnificent and over the top! All in all, the lawyers and paralegals are the nuts and bolts of this firm. With that being said, it is a friendly atmosphere with a good reputation.
My case dragged out for almost 10 years. Glenn was there for me 100%. When I felt like giving up, he encouraged me to stick with the case, but he always said whatever you decide, I will stand by you. In the end, we won, and I don't think I would have if it was not for Glenn, and his belief in my case.
I have had a very bad experience with Glen Ridenour at Klenk Law Firm. Multiple lawyers from the firm all billing me at once. Multiple attorneys from the firm participating in mandatory conference calls with me and each submitting bills for the same call. Ran the bill into the thousands in just a few months- billed me $4000 in the first couple days of representation alone. Glenn tried to get me to lie to mortgage co.
I called and set up a 7am PST appointment because they didn't have many openings and I start work at 9am. I get up early and nobody calls. I contact them and get voicemail. I don't receive a call back. I call back again and someone informs me that the attorney hadn't looked in advance at the notes the administrator took but just did and couldn't take my case. But nobody bothered to call me and cancel instead of me waking 2 hours early. A complete lack of professionalism that speaks to how their business conducts themselves.
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.
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.
