History

Established in 1999.

Before opening Glasgow Beattie Olsson, our lead 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, Narcotics, Juvenile, and the Felony Review Division. In each of these positions he tried both misdemeanor & felony bench & jury cases, supervised other attorneys, interviewed defendants & witnesses, & helped prepare 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. We represent clients in all types of criminal and civil matters in both Illinois Federal and State Courts.» –Thomas Glasgow
