Glasgow & Olsson Criminal and Divorce And Litigation Attorneys. When you need help, experience matters. "I served as a State's Attorney because I wanted to help people.

Before opening Glasgow & Olsson 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. 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

In addition to criminal charges, we help people who need representation in the area of family law including divorce proceedings and child support. 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

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

DO OUT-OF-STATE DUI CHARGES AFFECT YOUR ILLINOIS DRIVER’S LICENSE?

If you are an Illinois driver and you get a DUI in another state, do not assume that your driving privileges in the state of Illinois will go unaffected. This is particularly true because the Illinois Secretary of State may receive information about the offense and take administrative action against your Illinois driver’s license.

When an Illinois driver is charged with a DUI in another state, the case generally involves two separate issues. These are:

The criminal case in the state where the DUI occurred
The Illinois driver’s license consequences
Since these two matters can operate independently, resolving your criminal charges will not always mean that your driver’s license issues in Illinois will be automatically taken care of too.

Illinois drivers who are facing an out-of-state DUI must address both the criminal proceedings in the other state and any driver’s license action by the Illinois Secretary of State. An experienced Chicago driver’s-license attorney at Glasgow & Olsson can help you determine whether you need Secretary of State representation and what strategy will be the most suitable for your case so you can obtain the best possible outcome.

CAN YOU CHALLENGE YOUR ILLINOIS LICENSE SUSPENSION?

An Illinois license suspension can create serious difficulties for you. It can make your everyday life much harder, from an inability to get to and from work to troubles transporting your kids to school, and beyond. Managing all of your responsibilities can be quite burdensome when you are no longer allowed to legally drive.

The good news is that receiving a suspension notice does not necessarily mean that you have no options. Depending on your situation, it could be possible to challenge the suspension through a hearing with the Illinois Secretary of State.

The Illinois Secretary of State oversees administrative matters that involve driving privileges. Since the Secretary of State proceedings differ from ordinary court proceedings, if you are unfamiliar with the rules, procedures, and available forms of relief, this would not be uncommon, but it is an excellent reason to meet with an attorney. Obtaining legal guidance early is essential, and an attorney can help you understand your rights, deadlines, and potential options.

ARE STEP CAMPAIGNS IN ILLINOIS ONLY FOR DUI ENFORCEMENT?

Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) is used in Illinois as a means to reduce impaired driving and other dangerous driving behaviors. STEP allows for federal funding to be directed to local law enforcement agencies so they can increase their traffic enforcement efforts. The federal money makes it easier for local governments to pay for more robust enforcement.

STEP puts more police officers on the roads during traffic enforcement campaigns to prevent drunk and drug-impaired driving. While this is true, it is not the only thing that STEP is primarily focused on. STEP campaigns support the broader goal of traffic safety, which is to lessen dangerous driving behaviors and ultimately protect motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and other road users.
