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

“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
