Complex Civil Litigation

The cases that
refuse to resolve.

Complex civil litigation is where shareholder disputes collide with parallel regulatory proceedings, where contracts fracture across multiple jurisdictions, where discovery is measured in terabytes and depositions in dozens. Attorney Glasgow has litigated these matters in both state and federal court on behalf of corporate clients and individuals who cannot afford an imprecise outcome — building a trial record from the first pleading forward.

Personal Injury

When a life
is upended.

Serious injury cases do not pause for procedure. Medical costs begin accumulating on the day of the incident and the clock on evidence starts at the same moment. We represent individuals and families in catastrophic and traumatic injury cases — motor vehicle, premises, product defect, and wrongful death — with the preparation of a trial firm and the responsiveness of counsel who understand the human weight of the matter.

Criminal Defense

The weight of
the charge.

A criminal accusation is the moment at which the full resources of the state are arrayed against a single person. We represent clients in the most serious criminal matters — including murder, LWOP, and death-penalty cases — as well as violent and strike offenses, drug and fraud charges, and complex white-collar exposure. We investigate independently, prepare motion practice thoroughly, and bring every case to a posture from which a favorable outcome is possible.

Employment

Where work
becomes a matter.

We represent employees and employers on both sides of the workplace — wrongful termination, discrimination and retaliation, harassment, wage-and-hour claims, trade-secret disputes, and executive separations. In California, the stakes are unusually high: jury verdicts can be transformative, and administrative exposure is real. Our approach is clear-eyed and prepared for trial from the first letter.

Entertainment

The industry,
in practice.

From Los Angeles, we advise talent, producers, and production companies on the matters that shape careers and catalogs. Representation agreements, production deals, music and film licensing, rights disputes, and the occasional litigation that ends up in the trades — entertainment is a business of paper, and a mis-drafted clause can follow a project for a generation. Our job is to make sure it does not.

Business Development

The architecture of a company.

Every enterprise is, at its foundation, a set of written agreements — between founders, with investors, with counterparties, with employees. We counsel businesses at each stage of their life cycle, from formation and equity structuring to strategic partnerships, distribution arrangements, and commercial contracts. The goal is the same at every stage: build a business that can withstand the unexpected.

Police Misconduct

When the badge
breaks the law.

Civil rights violations at the hands of law enforcement — excessive force, unlawful arrest, fabricated evidence, retaliatory detention — are among the most difficult cases to prove and the most consequential to win. We bring Section 1983 and Bane Act claims in federal and state court, pair them with tort causes of action where appropriate, and prepare them for a jury from day one.

Prison Misconduct

Behind the wall,
the Constitution holds.

Incarceration does not suspend constitutional rights. We represent incarcerated individuals and their families in cases involving correctional officer violence, medical neglect, deliberate indifference, retaliation for grievances, and deaths in custody. These cases require lawyers willing to do the institutional work — records, depositions of staff, expert testimony — that the system is not designed to invite.

Real Estate

Ground, walls,
title.

Real estate is the asset class where mistakes are most expensive and least forgiving. We represent buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, and tenants in transactions and disputes — from acquisition and financing to partition actions, quiet title suits, unlawful detainer, and construction defect litigation. Whether the matter is a single-family deal or a commercial portfolio, the attention is the same.

Family

The matters
closest to home.

Family matters are the most personal work a lawyer can be trusted with. Dissolution, custody, support, property division, and the enforcement or modification of prior orders — each requires judgment, discretion, and a willingness to fight when the stakes demand it. We represent clients with complex financial pictures, high-asset estates, and children whose interests must be protected without collateral damage.
