Glicken & Wilson Law Firm - Orlando, FL

Over Four Decades of Trial Advocacy in Orlando, Florida

When legal disputes threaten your family stability, financial well-being, or personal freedom, you cannot afford novice representation. Glicken and Wilson Law Firm stands as one of Central Florida's most established legal practices, founded on the principle that every client deserves uncompromising advocacy and strategic counsel. Conveniently located on Edgewater Drive in Orlando, the firm represents individuals and families across Orange County and the surrounding region in high-stakes family disputes, aggressive criminal defense matters, estate distribution, and complex civil litigation.

Founding partner David Scott Glicken began his legal career in 1981, serving as a prosecutor in the Criminal Intake Division and rising to division chief and legal adviser to the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation. His formidable prosecutorial background provides an invaluable strategic advantage: he understands how opposing prosecutors construct cases and knows precisely where to identify evidentiary weaknesses. Over the decades, Mr. Glicken has argued repeatedly before the Florida Supreme Court and appellate districts, establishing landmark precedents including securing parental custody rights for fathers as early as 1988.

Comprehensive Family Law and Divorce Advocacy

Family legal disputes are emotionally demanding and legally complex. Whether resolving contentious asset distribution or safeguarding parental relationships, the firm provides compassionate yet assertive representation:

• Divorce and marital separation: Navigating contested and uncontested dissolution of marriage, complex property division, business valuation, and alimony determinations.
• Child custody and time-sharing: Establishing sensible parenting plans that prioritize the best interests of children while vigorously defending parental rights.
• Child support modifications: Ensuring accurate calculations according to Florida statutory guidelines and petitioning for adjustments following substantial life changes.
• Domestic violence injunctions: Swift legal intervention for emergency protective orders or defending individuals against unfounded restraining petitions.
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Drafting clear premarital contracts to protect family assets and preempt future legal disputes.

Tenacious Criminal Defense Representation

When facing criminal charges, your liberty and future reputation are on the line. Anyone accused of an offense must hire an attorney who possesses genuine trial experience rather than someone inclined to settle quickly. Drawing on extensive experience with grand jury investigations, racketeering offenses, and felony trials, Glicken and Wilson Law Firm defends clients against a wide range of state and federal accusations:

• DUI and traffic offenses: Challenging breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety protocols, and unconstitutional traffic stops.
• Drug crimes and trafficking: Defending against possession, distribution, and manufacturing charges with aggressive suppression motions.
• Violent crimes: Tenacious courtroom defense for assault, battery, domestic disputes, and weapons charges.
• White collar offenses: Protecting executives and professionals accused of fraud, embezzlement, and economic crimes.

Estate Planning and Civil Litigation Solutions

Beyond family and criminal courtrooms, the firm assists clients in preserving wealth and resolving business disagreements. The estate planning team drafts customized wills, living trusts, and powers of attorney to safeguard legacies and avoid arduous probate proceedings. In addition, the firm's civil litigators aggressively pursue and defend commercial disputes, breach of contract claims, and real property conflicts. If you need a lawyer urgently to protect your rights, the firm provides responsive 24/7 availability and complimentary initial evaluations.
