She has achieved successful results against Fortune 500 companies, universities, and public as well as private employers. She has also represented clients in personal injury and medical malpractice litigation. In the family law arena, Attorney Glazer has represented clients in divorce cases ranging from simple and uncontested to highly complex and extremely contested. She has also represented clients in child custody cases, relocation of children cases, restraining orders, pre-nuptial agreements, enforcement of judgments, modifications, contempt, will contests and cases involving rights of homosexual parents. Attorney Glazer represented a lesbian mother in Doe v. Doe, 16 Mass. App. Ct. 499 (1983), a leading case establishing that the homosexuality of a parent does not disqualify that parent from having joint legal and physical custody of the child.

Her work frequently requires her to analyze a multitude of documents, including medical records and financial records, and she often consults and works with experts from a variety of fields to effectively represent her clients. She has also worked with other attorneys as co-counsel on a variety of cases, and has served as a mentor to another attorney at the request of the Board of Bar Overseers.

Attorney Glazer has experience drafting pre-nuptial agreements, separation agreements, employment agreements, and settlement agreements.
