Testimonials

Pure Excellence

Tom is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional attorney. At all of our meetings, he showed pure excellence. He was very honest with me about what would happen and my consequences. I greatly appreciated this. He even purchased a copy of my book that I wrote to tell my story of hitting rock bottom and then becoming a success story. I would not have the privileges I have now without Tom. I HIGHLY recommend him!

Exceeded Every Expectation

If I could give him a million stars I would. Tom Glasgow exceeded every expectation I had regarding my case. Like most in any type of legal situation I was terrified with no idea of what to do and then I met Tom. From day one Tom made it a point to establish

a level of confidence in his ability to represent me as a client. This was done with his genuine personality and overall love for his career as an attorney. Both him and his team were with me every step of the way, they took the time to walk me through the next steps of my case and thoroughly explain every detail as we went. This allowed me to establish a level of trust and reassurance with his team. Ultimately, I knew that at the end of the day they had my back and never once made me concerned or question his legal capabilities. Overall Tom and his team made me feel like an extremely valued client and will ALWAYS recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in a legal situation similar to mine.

Tom Backs It Up

I was very upset about my case and doubting my current attorney when I contacted Tom and his firm. He took time out of his day to talk me off the ledge and helped me to see things in a clearer light and from my attorney’s perspective. He spoke with me nearly 25 minutes when he didn’t have to. Additionally, he called me back FIRST thing in the morning. I did not hire Glasgow & Olsson only because of Tom’s honesty integrity and advice. However, based on this experience I wouldn’t hesitate to refer someone to them. The fact that he advised me to stick with my current attorney instead of just taking my money tells you everything you need to know about him! They are trust worthy hardworking and Tom is very sharp and I could tell from even just a short conversation he had a ton of experience from the nuanced perspective he has on things. Very impressed with Tom. I expect his colleague to be just as exceptional. You get what you pay for in attorneys…but Tom backs it up. His knowledge of judges, other attorneys, the system in general is unmatched in all the conversations I’ve had with various attorneys over the years.

Researched Numerous Attorneys…I Recommend Glasgow & Olsson

When faced with an accidental, yet legal matter this past year, I researched numerous attorneys in the Chicagoland area. In the end, I chose Glasgow and Olsson to handle my case. Probably the best move I could have made. Thomas Glasgow and his team were extremely professional and capable in their craft. Glasgow and Olsson did not disappoint and proved once again that it pays to do your homework. I would recommend Glasgow and Olsson to anyone looking for representation in a legal matter.

His Legal Knowledge Is Second to None

I hired Attorney Tom Glasgow to help me seal a case in DuPage County that had created a incredible burden on my life, both personally and professionally. In reality nobody knew the truth about the case or the evidence that pointed to my exoneration. That all changed when Tom Glasgow was able to present the case the Court. He carefully reviewed my case, looked at all the key evidence, and insured the Court knew the evidence too. His legal knowledge is second to none, and he is an expert in the law. After a series of hearings, the Court granted my petition to seal those records. I have Tom Glasgow to thank for that. I would certainly hire Attorney Glasgow again or refer anyone to him who is in need of legal help. Thank you so much, Tom!

You Can Rest Assured

Couldn’t be more happier and satisfied with having Tom and Stephanie handling my case. They were very responsive whenever I needed them and they were always able to explain my options to me in the easiest possible way. Their adroitness helped me get the needed outcome in my case. You can rest assured you are in good hands with them. Mental peace was what I felt the most working with them as they showed a personal connection that is usually missing.
