HONEST REVIEW-2 years ago, I went through the scariest time of my life. I was going through a divorce and had a very bad drinking problem. This led to my 3rd OWI. I didn’t hurt anyone, myself or get into any car accidents. I was less than 2 miles from my home. I pulled over and was immediately taken into custody. I was terrified. I don’t believe alcoholism is a choice, but I know that I broke the law.
I of course, like many, wanted the best lawyer to represent me. I called around and mostly looked at the reviews online. I focused more on the lawyers with the best reviews and read the reviews that most related to my situation. Grieve Law had a 4.8 out of 5 star rating. I spoke with Tom Grieve and he was very informative and made me feel very comfortable. I asked if I could book with him as my lawyer, but he was unable to take on any more clients. He recommended Glenn Gaskill. He told me Glenn knew just as much as he did and was a very respected lawyer. He also had a good relationship with the DA in my county. After more questions, I decided to make the arrangements to book with Glenn. I received a discount if I paid all up front, so I reluctantly agreed to paying the $9,200 (after discount) to book with Glenn.
I heard from Glenn fairly quickly, and was not worried in the beginning. It didn’t take long for me to realize what kind of lawyer Glenn was. It took days for him to respond to emails. Sometimes, it would take upwards a week. And when he did, he would respond with 1, maybe 2 sentence responses. It almost seemed as if he was responding to me from his cell phone because of the shortness with most of his responses. When I would try to call him, at any point, he was never available. The receptionist that would answer the phone was also very rude and short with me. When I would ask when Glenn would be in, she never knew.
During my case, my anxiety was super high. I have a family to take care of, a job, and many other responsibilities. I felt during my entire case, I was treated like a criminal. I felt that everyone treated me like a criminal, but my lawyer (and especially at $9,200) should have been the last person I should have gotten that treatment from. I gave Glenn many defenses that he could use in my case to help with the outcome, and I feel he ignored them all, saying it was relevant. Most of the time, I kept up to date on my case by going online (wcca website) because he didn’t communicate with me. There were many times I emailed him and told him how upset I was he wasn’t getting back to me.
Glenn is not the type that has any emotions towards his clients. He is very monotone and didn’t care about me as a person at all. I understand being a lawyer can lead to this type of non-emotional response, but you should care about your clients at least a little. My 2nd OWI lawyer was a fraction of the cost and he was always keeping me updated on my case and showed a lot of emotiontowards me in person and in the courtroom. This led to me receiving a 12 day house arrest, 18 month license revocation and 6 months outpatient treatment. I would have contacted him again but was too embarrassed.
As time went on and things didn’t get any better, I finally contacted Grieve Law and asked to speak with Glenn’s superior. The person I spoke with said they would speak with Glenn. Glenn contacted me shortly thereafter and we met in person. He said that he was confident in my case and reassured me he would be better at responding to me and making me feel more assured and up to date. Things did get better for a short time. I was given the option to switch lawyers but we were so close to the case concluding, I didn’t know what good it would do to start all over again. Plus, he reassured me things would get better. Long story short(er), my case concluded and all obligations have been fulfilled. I feel that for the amount charged, definitely not worth it.

I was hopeful the communication would improve after apologies of waiting weeks for an answer. Things that were promised to follow up on never came to fruition in my case. Still ended up getting billed the full amount which I would have been happy to pay if the time had been invested in my case regardless of a good/bad outcome.

Went in with a very hard case and was extremely worried. But In a very professional way the system was explained and they set me up with an amazing plan. And ended up working out a deal that has turned my life completely around and never had to see the inside of a court room. Beyond grateful for my second chance.

I would definitely recommend my attorney Glenn. I was devastated last year when suddenly I was facing a felony. If I hadn't attained a good lawyer & just decided to plead guilty, then I would have done around fifteen days in jail, had a year of probation, & a felony on my record forever. I was panicky about this, but Glenn always put my mind at ease on the phone, & helped me to make the wise decision of waiting out a few court dates until he could get me an even better offer. It took a while for this case to conclude, but that was ultimately for the best. The felony was dropped to two misdemeanors, & I did not get a year of probation, or any probation for that matter. All I ended up getting sentenced with was a month in jail. My original offer was being a felon for life & 15 days in jail...so basically what I got was 15 more days than the original offer & I still managed to avoid being a felon for life -all thanks to Attorney Glenn at Grieve Law.

Glenn was attentive, resourceful, and passionate about my case. There wasn’t a moment I didn’t know what was going on or he wasn’t willing to take the time to keep me updated. He knew all of the procedures and protocols needed to make a good case. The whole situation was terrifying, but Glenn made sure to keep me in the loop and to be honest about what the outcome might be. He took the time to pinpoint where the officer made mistakes and brought them to light in court. Even when Glenn wasn’t instantly available he got back to me as soon as he had a chance. Throughout the whole case I felt confident in Glenn’s ability and that he would do whatever he could with all of his resources to win my case. Until the end of my case, Glenn gave 100% and I am unbelievably grateful for the service he provided. Even after my case was completely closed, Glenn was still available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. Overall, Glenn and Grieve Law provided unbelievable service.

Absolutely phenomenal in professionalism. The counsel that Glenn provided me relieved immense amount of stress throughout the entire process. Grieve Law has been imperative during my time of crisis and uncertainty. I will be forever grateful for the time they have devoted towards my case and the results that where achieved.

Attorney Gaskill helped me tremendously with my case. I was facing a very serious charge. His expertise resulted in the charge being dismissed. He is professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgable. I'm extremely grateful for his help and highly recommend him.

Attorney Glenn Gaskill helped our our family out in a very difficult defense case against the state. He fought hard in our case working long hours. We appreciated his attention to detail as well as his availability to return calls, answer questions and offer support. He is very personable and ethicle and we would look to him in the future.
