Glenn Faegenburg is consistently described by clients, judges, jurors, and colleagues as smart, energetic, honest, caring, and persistent. He is a rare attorney who gets straight to the point, avoiding the unnecessary drama often associated with trial lawyers. Although he is Ivy League educated, he is far from a typical “white shoe” lawyer; instead, he is dedicated to helping injured individuals secure the justice they deserve. “My first encounter with the legal system was as a junior in high school during a Moot Court Competition. Cross-examining a witness was one of the biggest thrills of my life. I realized at 16 that this was my calling, and even 28 years later, I still feel that thrill in the courtroom.”
His passion for the law has resulted in numerous success stories for his clients. Glenn has secured millions from reluctant insurance companies, including a record-setting $36 million settlement for an injured construction worker, the largest reported settlement in New York State. “I negotiate reasonably, but if my adversaries are unreasonable, I will do everything possible to hold them accountable for trying to exploit my clients.”
He has taken many cases to trial when they could not be settled, achieving multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements in various cases, including construction accidents, medical and legal malpractice, bus and car accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and fall cases, brain injuries, and numerous wrongful death claims.
While Glenn is tough on his opponents, he is compassionate with his clients. He recognizes that injured individuals require attention, empathy, and respect. “It’s unacceptable to see a lawyer yelling at or dominating a client. Your lawyer should advocate for you, not against you. I feel honored when a client chooses me, and I understand that I work for them, not the other way around.”
In the competitive field of personal injury law, Glenn Faegenburg’s outstanding reputation and remarkable results have positioned him among the top attorneys in his area.
