Glassman & Zissimopulos
Our Origins
Our commitment to putting clients first and protecting their rights and claims began in 1995 when Dan Glassman began practicing here in Gainesville. Since then, his primary focus has been on auto accident, personal injury, wrongful death, and negligence cases.
In 2003, Dan Glassman and Nick Zissimopulos began working together. Nick completed his undergraduate and law school degrees here in Gainesville. Working closely, Nick and Dan learned the ins and outs of civil and criminal defense. They shared a common vision: Every Client Matters and attorneys should always Put Clients First. For the last twenty years, together they have dedicated their professional lives to protecting their clients and ensuring the best legal outcomes for those that they represent.
