This lawyer did not do what was agreed. Instead of a partial refund, I was charged for something that did not pertain to the reason I hired them for. The bill was padded with calls & time that I was unaware of. I believe this is typical of any lawyer.

Prepared a Revocable Trust, Wills for both my husband and I, healthcare surrogate and durable power of attorney. Flawless and painless! Thanks!

Update (Jan 2020): We bought a house in a Florida, sight unseen, and needed someone we could trust to follow through with all the details while we were in NY, up through and including the closing. Based on our previous experience with Ms. Glavin, we retained her to represent us. She did an excellent job, very thorough and always acting in our best interests.

(2018) I'm writing this review to thank Grace Anne Glavin for the invaluable information and assistance she provided me to help a dear friend who is fighting severe mental illness. Thanks to her assistance, I was able to reach and intelligently communicate with the appropriate parties to help guarantee that my friend received the proper protections and treatment. I have used Ms. Glavin for numerous legal matters and over several decades. In addition, my father (now deceased) consulted with her on several occasions, as well as my brother. She is very knowledgable and has always looked out for our best interests. She always returns calls and answers questions in a timely manner and any issues (mostly estate and elder law) have always been resolved to our satisfaction. She's very good at what she does and she has always helped us. In every case, for our family, she has been dependable, effective and trustworthy. She's nice, too!

Grace Glavin helped me when my mom passed away facilitate the sale and closing of her house. She was very knowledgeable and assisted me in getting a fair and equitable price. She was easy to reach and returned phone calls promptly. I would highly recommend her services.

My husband and I had our living wills done as well as adding my name to our properties. I would recommend her to everyone. We were impressed with her professionalism and the timely manner in which it was handled. I will definitely use her again when need be. Thank you.

Cost effective,
Good on real estate

This real estate closing was unique. Just happy the closing is finished!

I recently had my estate planning done at Attorney Glavin’s office. She and the estate planning paralegal were very kind and everything was prepared beautifully and timely. Attorney Glavin also assisted my step niece with her divorce that was very sensitive during the fall and early winter of 2017-2018. She was extremely professional and was able to get a very quick and positive result. Her fees were very reasonable and fair. I highly recommend Attorney Glavin.

Grace helped us with a closing, she was very helpful and knowledgeable - so happy we had her on our side! I would highly recommend her.

Grace helped me and my boyfriend on a closing. We were grateful to have had her represent us. She was able to remove extra fees being charged to us by the sellers Attorney, and really looked out for our best interest. I would highly recommend using her!

Grace Anne Glavin has always been very pleasant and helpful. She has been wonderful to help me and my family for many years with all our legal needs. She makes sure everything gets done correctly. I highly recommend Grace Anne Glavin to all my friends.

She is crazy , old, and a thief use at your own risk. Very phony

Grace recently helped my wife and I manage my mother's estate when her dementia advanced to a point where she was declared incapacitated by the court and placed in a memory care unit at an Assisted Living Facility. My mother had not done any estate planning and we didn’t know what to do. Grace helped us to set up a Guardianship as well as helping with Real Estate Closings, Litigation, and estate planning. She does it all, and is very knowledgeable. We’ve been to court several times with Grace representing us. I’ve watched her work up close. She is very competent and not afraid of a fight if necessary. She always comes prepared. Grace is a great asset to have on your team.

Great attorney for real estate closings, wills and estates and business work. Good communication from Grace.

Not good at all. In it for the money

Theif and liar

Very Professional

Grace will appear to draw you in and have all the time and answers in the world for you ...before she gets the check. After you have paid, it is the same as with most attorneys, they are in it for the money. A quick settlement that does not benefit the client or a long drawn out battle that accrues attorney fees for herself, pick your outcome.
My case was complicated and she assured me she could handle it. After an "accident" she claimed she could not walk to get into court to represent me any longer..I went to her office and found her walking that same day. So she lied to me about her condition. Red flag...the person you hire to aid you in your time of need lies to you. Great.
She forgot important details and facts often, and definitely did not listen to to the information with which I provided. She puffs and pretends to know everyone and everything and gets frustrated at the paying client when cases do not go easy or as she anticipated. Lawyers, judges, courts are an imperfect system at best and hustlers and thieves at worst. We the general laypeople are suckers to their whims and secrets The best I can say is to never place yourself in a position where you need a lawyer at all. Buyer beware if you give Grace Glavin any business...legal and mortgage title inclusive.

Disrespectful. Unethical. Unprofessional. She is in it for the money! I never felt like I could trust her, nor did I ever feel like she had my best interest at heart. Never gave me a straight answer to my questions. Took forever to return phone calls. She spent my retainer on having her paralegal make office copies, and my case went nowhere! She didn't even remember my name or who I was after coming in multiple times.

She played on my emotions by telling me I would have to go to court, would not get to have shared custody with my child, I would be paying thousands in fees and child support and that it would take nearly a year to settle the case. - I switched attorneys - settled things within a month, never went to court, and paid less than a 10th of what she said I would have to. - The best part is I have 50/50 shared custody of my son, something she said would never happen.

Protect yourself and your family, stay away from Grace Anne Glavin.

This attorney is very professional and takes time to explain any questions I have had. To some attorneys you are just a file but this attorney remembers your name and gets things done. 10/10 recommended.

Attorney Grace Glavin is very knowledgeable and helpful. She explains the process and makes sure things are done properly. She cares about her clients and I highly recommend her.

Attorney Glavin did a wonderful job on my dad's estate and real estate sale. Great team.
