The attorneys and staff at The Law Office of Colleen M. Glenn, P.A. extend our sincerest gratitude for voting us Bradenton’s Best for the third year in a row. We have dedicated our careers to representing individuals who find themselves in the criminal justice system, with compassion and tenacity.
Our attorneys have extensive experience representing individuals in the criminal justice system from misdemeanors, violations of probation, felonies, appeals and everything in between. Our attorneys strategically handle each case, litigating many issues pre trial including but not limited to motions to suppress evidence, motions to dismiss charges, and motions in limine to exclude inadmissible evidence.
Our attorneys routinely successfully litigate terminating probation terms early and modifications of sentences. Our attorneys are also highly skilled at rehabilitating
suspended driver’s licenses, and have helped countless people in Manatee County obtain valid driver’s licenses. Our office believes strongly that rehabilitation is one of the most important services the courts can provide and we are extremely proud to have assisted multiple clients in obtaining treatment to overcome drug addictions and get back to their family and lives, healthy and safe.
We are also excited to announced that we have expanded our services to our clients to include aggressive representation for all personal injury matters. If you are injured in an accident or by another party, we will fight for your rights.
Above all else, we are trial attorneys.
We litigate in court every day. We will fight for you and your rights and make sure you are protected. Again, we thank you all for the honor of bestowing upon us the title of Bradenton’s Best for the third year in a row.
“Colleen is truly the best lawyer anyone can have on there side representing them. She truly fights hard for her clients and goes above and beyond. Her office staff was amazing with communication thru out My case proceedings. And made me feel much more at ease.”.
