2023 Bradenton's Best

The attorneys and staff at The Law Office of Colleen M. Glenn, P.A. extend our sincerest gratitude for voting us Bradenton’s Best. We have dedicated our careers to representing individuals who find themselves in the criminal justice system, with compassion and tenacity.

Our attorneys have extensive experience representing individuals in the criminal justice system from misdemeanors, violations of probation, felonies, appeals and everything in between. Our attorneys strategically handle each case, litigating many issues pre trial including but not limited to motions to suppress evidence, motions to dismiss charges, and motions in limine to exclude inadmissible evidence. Our attorneys routinely successfully litigate terminating probation terms early and modifications of sentences. Our attorneys are

also highly skilled at rehabilitating suspended driver’s licenses, and have helped countless people in Manatee County obtain valid driver’s licenses.

Our office believes strongly that rehabilitation is one of the most important services the courts can provide and we are extremely proud to have assisted multiple clients in obtaining treatment to overcome drug addictions and get back to their family and lives, healthy and safe.

Above all else, we are trial attorneys. We litigate in court every day. We will fight for you and your rights and make sure you are protected. Again, we thank you all for the honor of bestowing upon us the title of Bradenton’s Best.

“Colleen is truly the best lawyer anyone can have on there side representing them. She truly fights hard for her clients and goes above and beyond. Her office staff was amazing with communication thru out My case proceedings. And made me feel much more at ease.”.

- Troy, Criminal Defense Client

“Amazing Attorneys! Definitely did what they said they would. Prices are very fair. Will recommend to anyone that needs a superior attorney.”

- Lynn. Criminal Defense Client

“Colleen was absolutely the best lawyer we’ve ever had! Thanks for being persistent and extremely professional. You are rated #1 for sure. If you’re looking for someone who is truly about their client, she’s the one.”

- Destiny. Criminal Defense Client

Genuinely local, always relevant

Welcome! We are thrilled to bring you our second edition of Bradenton’s Best. This magazine showcases the effort to discover and celebrate the businesses, people, and places the community loves most – as voted by you.

Our readers and residents are proud of the communities they live in and know the area the best. That is why the Bradenton Herald set out to deliver a “best of” program to help the community and support Manatee and Sarasota county businesses.

The Bradenton Herald, throughout the years, has mirrored its community’s growth – from the tiny agricultural-and-fishing town of Bradentown to today’s bustling, high-growth metropolitan area and sought-after tourist destination. With over 330,000 people calling the area home, Bradenton is among the fastest-growing areas in the United States. In keeping up with this vibrant growth, the Bradenton Herald and Bradenton.com have committed to expansive, comprehensive 24-7 news coverage of everything impacting the community, its residents, businesses, environment and leaders. The company’s employees pride themselves on being immersed in the community, sponsoring hundreds of civic events every year.

Bradenton’s Best has been a great extension of these goals, and we are proud of the voter turnout and engagement from local businesses. Bradenton’s Best had over 1,800 businesses, organizations, and individuals competing to be named in the top three spots of 231 categories.

During our voting, more than 212,000 votes were cast, an amazing response in our second year and a testament to how customers, fans, and friends feel about their favorite local businesses and the pride they have for Manatee and Sarasota counties.

Producing a contest this size takes a dedicated local team and committed businesses. They, along with all our advertisers made this possible.

We could not be prouder to salute and pay tribute to the great businesses that were voted the best in their individual categories. Thank you to all the folks who took the time to vote. We encourage you to explore BradentonsBest.com and engage with our winners. Some may be familiar, and some may be new to you. All will welcome your business. Please make sure to congratulate them for being voted Bradenton’s Best!

Enjoy!
