Totally professional in keeping us posted on the progress of the charges, the court hearings, his negotiations with the DA, etc. We always felt like we were a team together. And the end result was better than we originally thought was possible based on the original charges. Totally satisfied with his performance.

This was an extremely sensitive and stressful time for our family. David responded within hours of being contacted and guided us through the system up to sentencing. He actually did exactly what he said he was going to do - made himself available 24/7 - and gave us advice that was solid.

I consulted David Glassman for two separate traffic tickets. In both cases he was extremely knowledgeable about the applicable laws. His service was prompt, and his paralegal, Glenda, is exceptionally competent and pleasant. David presented me with several options in terms that were easy to understand. David uses a flat fee system, and there are no hidden costs. Overall I have been more than satisfied with the services I received, and I will definitely consult David for all future legal matters.

I've dealt with lawyers and legal issues in the past, some good, some great. Using David Glassman has truly raised the bar. For the first time I felt that my best interests were truly being attended to, that the best outcome for ME was paramount. Finally, a lawyer who worries more about his client than his pay check...

Called Mr.Glassman’s office late one Friday for a consultation and he took his time to give me a tremendous amount of invaluable information. Definitely seems like an amazing lawyer with a an immense amount of knowledge and expertise in law. If you could afford it, I’d bet his worth it. Thank you again for your time Mr. Glassman!

Working with Mr. Glassman turned out to be a great experience. We needed a attorney that could help see the charges were unrealistic. Mr. Glassman put in the work and the effort and for that I am great full.

Hired Attorney David Jay Glassman

First meeting he was very friendly and also seemed to be very knowledge. Although, he feel to file motion to court on time. He's excuse was that he did not have all documentation, was unable to respond e-mail questioning what documentation he did not have. Since he said on 2nd meeting he had everything he needed. Also he said he could also handle immigration and later on I found out he never had a case with immigration and information given by him was incorrect

 
Response from David Jay Glassman
It appears you were never a client of my firm. I have handled immigration cases in NJ, PA, n NY. We have a 100 success rate handling all immigration matters. I have never had occasion to not file documents in a timely manner nor failed to meet a deadline.

David Glassman is a joke and a shyster. Paid him $10k and he did absolutely nothing. He has a bad reputation within the courts in the city of Philadelphia and was unable to make any progress toward resolving my case. No one wants to work with him to make a deal. I ended up hiring someone who is much more respected, and she was able to successfully resolve my case with no jail time, no felonies and a settlement that all parties were happy with. Glassman will take your money and then sit back and do nothing.

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.
