Hired Attorney David Jay Glassman

My son hired Mr Glassman for various tickets he received from causing a motor vehicle accident including DUI. Mr Glassman was very honest with my son and explained it was a difficult case for a number of reasons. After he spoke to the prosecutor he was able to get my son down to a reckless driving charge with a 45 day suspension of license plus a fine and court costs. We were thrilled with that outcome knowing it could have been so much more severe. Mr Glassman was professional, honest, knowledgeable and did exactly what he said he would do when hired. Also he didn’t waste anyone’s time with nonsense that would rack up additional fees. We would definitely recommend Mr Glassman.

I’m glad I found Dr Glassman to represent my son’s case. I felt hopeless and Dr Glassman assured me that he would do everything in his power to help my son. He demonstrated professionalism , confidence and showed an excellent work ethic since the first day we spoke over the phone. He ensured us that he was the right person to fight for my son based on his extensive years of experience and knowledge. I would highly recommend Dr Glassman to anyone that needs a lawyer. He is the best !

As no one is above the law, I started looking for a top notch attorney to fight for my life, I’m very lucky that I met David, his knowledge, passionate, professionalism and confidence convinced me to go with Mr. Glassman. We won the case and now standing back on my feet taller and stronger then I was.

From beginning to end Mr. Glassman was dedicated to making sure the results I wanted were met without fail.
