Hired Attorney David Jay Glassman

I work as a commercial truck driver. I made a mistake and received a traffic citation. I hired David Jay Glassman to represent me. He came to court with me and had the citation amended. By doing so, he saved me a considerable amount of money and helped me to maintain a successful career in the transportation industry. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a friendly, confident, and professional attorney.

I could not more highly recommend Mr Glassman. 5.0 stars Posted by Dan September 17, 2019 When I contacted Mr Glassman, I was facing a potential 15 year Federal charge and ended up with 4 years State probation...no fine...no community service. He expertly and compassionately navigated the system like a master conductor, pulling all the right strings at the right times. I am convinced that he is the only reason I got the result that I did and will be forever grateful.

David Jay Glassman is in my opinion the best lawyer on the eastern coast. He is the lawyer that you would want defending your case. David is a remarkable man, he gets the job done, and stays persistent with his work. I could have been put away for a long time due to a firearm possession charge and David helped my family and I maintain a positive mindset and in the end I came home. He cares about the well being of his clients and wants the best for them. I would recommend him to any of my friends

I sincerely hope others seek the services of Mr. Glassman and his team in order to acquire the best possible representation. Mr. Glassman is a dedicated and seasoned attorney with experience up to federal litigation. He combined his high caliber skill with an aggressive commitment to his client. While my case was dismissed in spite of overwhelming obstacles, regardless of the outcome, I'm convinced it would have still been the best outcome in comparison to partnering with any other attorney.

David Jay Glassman is the criminal defense lawyer to have on your side! He was tentative to my questions, helped my family stay at ease, and so informative. I had met with three other lawyers before finding DJG. Soon as I spoke to DJG on the phone, I knew he was the guy to represent me. I got stuck in a situation where I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. David Jay Glassman helped the prosecutors see what type of person I really am and that I wasnt like the people I was working for.

Hired Attorney David Jay Glassman

straight to the point, no non-sense and very professional is how I would describe Mr. Glassman. From my first talk with him to weeks after the closing, we were always well informed as he thoroughly explained every step of the criminal court proceedings which can be very complicated not to mention overwhelming for someone who has never been in court. Aggravated assault charge dismissed and simple assault charge found non guilty, will always remember that he was my hero and kept me out of jail.

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.
