Hired Law Firm

Very satisfied with the outcome. I hired David Glassman to represent me for a traffic infraction that resulted in tickets totaling 9 points! From the moment I spoke with him, I knew that I was in good hands. I was facing a tough prosecutor but he negotiated a deal to bring 9 points down to 2! Even the judge remarked on the "significant" point reduction. Should anything like this happen again, David Glassman will be the first call I make and I highly recommend that anybody else do the same.

Its hard to put into words what a godsend David Glassman has been for my family and me. Before David, I spoke with at least 6 reputable attorneys that told me the charges against me guaranteed 5 years in jail. From the first phone call with David he gave me all the hope I needed and more. He even said the only way you are going to jail is if god wills it. Every time we went court I felt such confidence in his ability & professionalism. He kept his word and kept me out of jail. Amazing lawyer.

Hired Attorney David Jay Glassman

I was charged in Philadelphia with Aggravated Assault & Endangering the Welfare of my child. Having never been charged with a crime I was referred by my brother to Mr. Glassman. He arranged to meet me after work and explained to me the process and how he would defend me. Mr Glassman brought the evidence to the DA, meet repeatedly with them and fought hard to have the charges DISMISSED. He is a very tough criminal lawyer and defended me every step of the way I was fortunate to have him by my side

Hired Attorney David Jay Glassman

Mr. Glassman winning my case gave me my life back. After almost a year of constant worry and uncertainty, I was cleared of all the serious charges against me thanks to him working tirelessly to prove my innocence. He was there explaining the entire process every step of the way and not only made sure I understood every bit of it, but was always available to meet if I had any further questions or concerns. He's a no-BS attorney who gets results and I highly recommend his services. Thank you David

With his help, my charges were dismissed and I only had to pay a small fine – a better outcome than I even anticipated. Aside from his smart and no-nonsense attitude in the courtroom (the judge loved him for that too), he revealed himself to also be a warm, welcoming person when we got to speak more afterwards. I’d be confident walking into any courtroom knowing I had Mr. Glassman on my side.

Mistakes happen online in this day and age when a single moment of weakness, anger or even boardem can offend someone in the wrong way. David was quick to react and provide a strong voice in the dark times I faced. He calmed me and my family down and reassured us that things would be OK. In short that day the court had 75 cases and my case was the only one that was dismissed and expunged. Thanks David for your years of experience to help me navigate a time in my life where I needed help.

David is the guy to hire if you need a defense attorney. David is a real up front attorney because 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. He helped my son win his case and was there thought everything.

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.
