Felony Criminal Defense Attorney | Schaumburg DUI Lawyer

Before opening the Law Offices of Thomas Glasgow, Ltd. in Schaumburg, Illinois, Attorney Thomas Glasgow was a Cook County State’s Attorney who prosecuted cases ranging from DUI, to multi-kilo felony narcotic cases, to murder. From 1994 until 1998, he worked in the Traffic Division, the Narcotics Division, the Juvenile Division, and the Felony Review Division. In each of these positions he tried both misdemeanor and felony bench and jury cases, supervised other attorneys, interviewed defendants and witnesses, and helped prepare criminal cases for trial.

“I served as a State’s Attorney because I wanted to help people. However, one of the reasons I decided to go into private practice was that I felt the criminal justice system can be a revolving door. I wasn’t able to assist people on a one-on-one level. Through my criminal defense law practice, I have had the ability to change more people’s lives than I could as a prosecutor. With two other experienced attorneys, we represent clients in all types of criminal and civil matters in both Illinois Federal and State Courts.” -Thomas Glasgow

At the newly renamed law firm of Glasgow & Olsson, we realize getting people on the right path toward becoming a good citizen is an important goal of our firm. In fact, we have numerous thank-you notes from former clients whose lives we have changed by winning their case.

In addition to criminal charges, we help people who need representation in the area of family law, including divorce proceedings and child support issues. Attorney Stephanie Olsson mindfully represents domestic relations clients throughout the Chicagoland area to reach equitable resolutions to matters that are closest to home. Stephanie Olsson has experience in representing a range of clients from parentage matters to clients with complex dissolution matters such as business valuation, special needs children and high-conflict parenting issues. Attorney Olsson’s background in criminal law assists Ms. Olsson execute an aggressive yet practical approach to your matter.

“Domestic relations matters are incredibly personal to each individual client. It is important to listen to a client, hear his or her goals and objectives for a case, and then guide the client via the litigation process to a resolution that is in the client’s and if applicable, children’s best interests. As a domestic relations attorney, I seek to ensure that my clients understand that each has a voice in his or her case and that voice is an integral piece in guiding a case to a resolution.” -Stephanie Olsson

We also have experience in other areas of civil representation, including administrative law, licensure, contract disputes, construction litigation, and insurance disputes.

Honest & Compassionate

This review is for both Mr. Glasgow and Ms. Olsson. Mr. Glasgow met with me prompty and took the time to explain everything, even addressing my worries about costs and advised how to effectively use my retainer without charging me for that first meeting. They were both there for me as my divorce took an emotional turn and provided the best guidance within the bounds of the law. Both attorneys are not only honest professionals but also compassionate individuals who made a challenging process more manageable.

Has Done Miracles

Tom has been there for my family for somewhere around 4 to 5 years now as our lawyer. He has helped my family legally multiple times and from what a can tell has done miracles. I respect him and his knowledge more than I can say and trust him for that. The best thing I can say about Thomas Glasgow is that he is the kind of lawyer that truly cares about his clients and what’s best for them. I have personally seen him go above and beyond multiple times than what he even remotely had to. He is extremely prompt responding to you and is very efficient with his cases. He also has a heart of gold but is blunt with you on what to expect and how outcomes truly look. He’s not just another lawyer looking to make as much money as possible. He puts his clients best interest ahead of anything else.

After Hearing Thomas’ Expert Presentation, The Judge Found Me Not Guilty

If you are reading this you are probably feeling stressed and anxious either for yourself or someone you love. I understand. My story: because Illinois has no look back period for old DUIs, even those more than thirty years old, I was in a panic when I was stopped in August 2019. Looking for the very best lawyer to represent me, I painstakingly researched attorneys online and met with several in person. At my first meeting with Thomas Glasgow I was impressed with his expertise and experience. He was forthright about my alternatives: because of the long ago DUI’s, either I would serve significant prison time or be acquitted. No middle ground. However, he was also confident that he could help me. His first recommendation was to contest the summary suspension of my license and against my expectations he succeeded in overturning it. Because of COVID and other delays, it would take another 12 months before the DUI trial would take place. During this prolonged and anxious time Thomas was attentive to all my questions and concerns and always treated me with respect and understanding. At trial Thomas’ years of experience were plain to see. His questioning of the arresting officers was highly organized and thorough. His demeanor was tough but polite. After hearing Thomas’ expert presentation and seeing the body cam video, the judge found me not guilty. I highly recommend Thomas Glasgow of Glasgow and Olsson. Thomas saved me. He has a combination of quality human traits and impressive legal skills which set him far above most in his profession.

I Could Not Recommend a More Caring and Competent Attorney

I could not recommend a more caring and competent attorney. I had the experience of using Mr. Glasgow for three separate matters, and he was superb on all of them.

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!
