Hired Attorney David Jay Glassman

I was dealing with a, now, exgirlfriend that liked to get blackout drunk and do incredibly irrational things while in that state. There were two occasions within a year she called the cops and charged me with simple assault. My first reaction was to get as far away from her as possible, and the second was to find a good attorney. I stumbled upon Mr. Glassman esq. at the perfect time. After a consultation with him, I knew he was the attorney I wanted. The only question was if he wanted to take up my case(s). He seemed like a no BS kind of guy - a quality I truly respect - but he seemed to understand both my legal and living situation and took me on as a client. Not only did he get one but both cases dismissed. The first with a hard nose DA and the second a hard line judge. I couldn't have been happier or more satisfied with his performance and professionalism. But for the sake of both your time, don't bring him a case that would be unethical with shady circumstances to defend.

Our World was turned upside down this year with allegations against my son. We have never been in such a scary, unfamiliar situation like this before and were fearful of what may lie ahead. Then we found David Glassman! From our first conversation, we felt that David was a confident, experienced and knowledgeable attorney that could help us navigate the road ahead and he did just that! David Glassman listened to us, was there for us and outlined every step in the process. We never felt that we didn't have the best defense possible...we did. David suggested creative alternatives, options and potential outcomes. He defended us with passion and vigor and in the end we received the best outcome possible. This outcome was due to David's experience and ability to navigate the rough seas! I would recommend David Glassman to my friends and family that may find themselves in a difficult situation, he is worth the call...Thank you for your continued support David!!

We hired Mr. Glassman when I found myself in a seemingly hopeless situation. It was a very complicated case that could have ended up very badly for me, and my family and I felt hopeless and lost. He was able to work out a plan to get me back home and implemented that plan with minimal collateral damage as possible. We are very thankful we found him.

David Jay Glassman was my criminal defense attorney, so I speak with personal knowledge of his expertise. From the moment we met, I had NO DOUBT that he would be the best possible lawyer to represent me. Mr. Glassman was confident in a positive outcome for my case. He communicated with me primarily through texts and emails, making it very easy to reach him at all times. It was comforting to be able to reach him immediately, have him respond immediately, and not have to wait a day for a return call. He was always punctual at court hearings and in keeping me informed of the progress of my case. Mr. Glassman was fierce in every aspect of his defense of me, often going head-to-head with the prosecutor in my defense. I always felt that he truly represented “ME”. Hiring Mr. Glassman to be my attorney was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. HE WON MY CASE FOR ME. It is with my highest possible recommendation that I recommend David Jay Glassman as a criminal defense lawyer..

It has been a great experience working with Mr. Glassman, as I had a case which he solved in 3 months and he walked me through the process and he was very supportive and always reached out within hours when I needed to talk to him not only as an attorney, he is a great person to work with and lots of understanding and trustworthy. His excellent skills as an attorney are remarkable and there was no doubt that he would not win our case and closed it within a very short timeframe which was unimaginable. I wouldn't think of going to another attorney and now I know where to go whenever I need legal advise or representation. Thank You David and Glenda for being so supportive .. You guys have been the best to work with!

Mr. Glassman has been truly the BEST Attorney my family and I have met. He is fights his cases to the last tooth and nail with extreme tenacity & aggressiveness; he is tremendously knowledgeable & experienced; he is very qualified, and operates under genuine integrity. When I contacted Mr. Glassman I was facing a Second Degree Felony Drug Charge in one county and a Third Degree Felony Drug Charge in a different county. I was so anxious I couldn’t sleep or eat for days. It was not until I spoke to Mr. Glassman that he continuously reassured me by giving me his word that he will get the best result possible and make sure I get zero prison time. I put blind faith into Mr.Glassman and not only did he follow through with his word and ensured there was no incarceration as he promised. but Mr. Glassman also helped me achieve, not just second chance at freedom, but a second chance at life. I absolutely strongly recommend Mr. Glassman for any sort of criminal defense cases especially.

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.
