DUI Defense Lawyer in Rolling Meadows, Illinois - The law office of Glasgow & Olsson

Those who have more than one DUI offense within a ten-year period are considered repeat offenders. Felony DUI charges, also known as Aggravated DUI, are accidents resulting in the unfortunate death or serious bodily harm of another. The penalties for repeat and felony DUI convictions are harsh and include license suspension, fines and jail time.

With several decades of experience, Glasgow & Olsson has extensive knowledge with handling repeat and felony DUI cases. We work diligently to reduce sentencing and seek lesser charges based on the circumstances of your case. We are experienced DUI defense who consistently obtain justice for our clients. We will thoroughly investigate the results of field sobriety and chemical tests, as well as the equipment, technique and certification of the test administrator.

DUI charges are serious. Time is of the essence. Our attorneys will work quickly to avoid convictions for additional DUI offenses for clients.

Subsequent convictions increase the penalties and felony classification. After six violations, a DUI conviction is considered a Class X felony.

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.

I am Forever Thankful.., That I Hired Mr. Glasgow

I got my life back thanks to Thomas Glasgow. I was facing a potential second DUI and was challenged with the daunting task of finding a lawyer who I could trust. After reviewing hundreds of lawyers in my area, I took the recommendation of a friend to contact Mr. Glasgow – and I am forever thankful that I did. Mr. Glasgow was able to skillfully prove my innocence and have all of my charges dropped for both the DMV and criminal hearing, which I hear is a near impossible outcome. He exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the case. Mr. Glasgow is an upstanding individual who truly cares about his clients and has a passion for what he does, which are comforting qualities during this incredibly stressful process. His courtroom presence is simply excellent – very confident, thorough, and respectful yet aggressive. It was quite amazing to stand next to him during the cross examination of the arresting officer. His questions were direct and skillfully used to discredit the testimony of the officer. I couldn’t ask for a better individual to represent me. If you are looking for the best chance of winning your case, don’t waste time and please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Glasgow. Thanks again Mr. Glasgow.

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!

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.
