Someone potentially wanted to file a restraining order against me so I needed to find an attorney.I found David Glassman based on many positive online client reviews.I contacted him via email,and received a call very quickly.He was friendly and to the point,and summarized what could happen,and how he would go about getting the best possible yet realistic outcome for my situation.His flat rate seemed more than reasonable.Hopefully I won't need his services,but if I do,I know I'm in good hands.

David Glassman is the guy to hire if you need a criminal defense lawyer. David is a phenomenal attorney! He is honest about what to expect, and thoroughly explains the criminal process you will be going through, so that you really feel comfortable having him fight for you. In a time where I needed help, David went above and beyond to provide legal CARE, not just representation. He got everything taken care of without making empty promises. Genuinely a great guy and excellent lawyer.

Mr Glassman saved me and my wife from going to jail. When I contacted him on Saturday, he immediately reach out to the AUSA and FBI to understand my case and ask me to meet in few hours. When we met him, he explained us the process and calm us down and told us he will reach out 1-2 day with more detailed plan. Which he did and we were quite happy with his plan. He & his office were prompt in replying to my email and call and guided us throughout the investigation. He gave us our lives back.

Parents worse fear getting a call from the police that your teenage son was picked up due to a high alcohol level while driving. Mr Glassman picked up the phone himself, unusual, no answering machine , when it was way past office hours. Mr Glassman immediately made us feel that our son would be okay, and he will handle everything. Our son was home within hours. Mr Glassman handled everything himself, made our son feel very comfortable was extremely reachable at all times.

Mr. Glassman was there for my brother and I when we were scared and vulnerable. I have no doubts that he alone got us the best outcome available. He was the ultimate professional- exhibiting knowledge, experience and know how. His most appreciated trait was his human touch, he knew how we felt and took charge of our problems, I can't recommend him enough!

I didn't know where to turn because it was my first time being in trouble like this. I found Attorney Glassman through a Google search and I must say that my selection was a great one. From the very start when I contacted his offices; he called me back himself and made it more personable. He assured me that he could help me. He made time to meet with me while he was at the courthouse representing someone else which was exceptional. Once we met he "assured me" that he could get me in the ARD program. He worked tirelessly in my case and he did just that. I was admitted into the ARD program and I have no charges. It was an exceptional experience.... I would recommend him hands down to anyone!!!! Thank you soooo very much!

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.

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.
