Attorney Thomas T. Glasgow was recently named a 2020 Leading Lawyer in the area of criminal defense. This prestigious award is based on peer recommendations. Only the top lawyers in their practice areas are named Leading Lawyers. As a result, fewer than 5% of all lawyers licensed in Illinois have received the Leading Lawyer designation. Attorney Thomas T. Glasgow focuses his practice on civil litigation, administrative law, and criminal law defense cases including DUI/DWI.

The Leading Lawyer Selection Process

The Leading Lawyer selection process is a stringent one. The Leading Lawyers team mails surveys to thousands of lawyers in each state, asking them their opinion on the top lawyers within their region and area of law. Leading Lawyers limit their numbers to 5% of all lawyers licensed to practice law in each state. Unlike other law firm rating programs, lawyers cannot pay to be considered a Leading Lawyer. Leading Lawyers chooses lawyers based solely on the reviews of their peers.

After lawyers return the survey, Leading Lawyers conducts discussions with the most frequently nominated lawyers. They use information gathered in the first phase and other qualitative information to determine which lawyers are the most highly regarded lawyers in their geographic location and practice area. Next, Leading Lawyers reviews selectees’ ethical standings to ensure they have not been involved in ethical or legal violations in their state.

In the final stage, the Leading Lawyers Advisory Board reviews the selectees. The board is composed of Leading Lawyers who have received the most votes in their area of law or region. Every board is diverse and ensures that only highly qualified candidates become Leading Lawyers. The process of nominating Leading Lawyers is comprehensive and seeks to appoint only highly respected and qualified lawyers in their areas of practice.
