I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. Since I was a small child my passion has been helping people. In kindergarten I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and from even that early age I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. Now that I have my own children and they are my greatest joy and source of inspiration. I Treat each client as a person who I want to help and get to know. By building a strong partnership with each client I am better equipped to help not only with today's issues but also planning for the future.

Your role, rights, and responsibilities to your Family are unique and deserve professionalism and respect. Glenn’s goal is to achieve the best possible results for his clients, while at the same time delivering the kind of personal service you deserve.. Practicing law should be a profession and that means you are entitled to great service and a high level of competence. Glenn strives to respond to phone calls and emails within 24 hours. He is available for after-hour appointments. You will be kept up to date about your case. Glenn believes clients should control the outcome, direction and tone of their litigation. His duty is to educate you about the law, advise you about your procedural options, and advocate for you strongly and effectively in a manner that is appropriate for your case.. It is important that you feel comfortable and confident with your attorney. Glenn welcomes your questions and phone calls. He relies on your feedback and strives to find ways you can save on attorney fees. A good attorney/client relationship depends on trust. Glenn trusts you will be responsive to requests for information and you can trust Glenn to do everything reasonable, within your budget, to promote your interests. Often you will see attorneys promise to “zealously advocate” for their clients. Such gonzo, warrior-like approaches often lead to pointless fighting and result in excessive attorney fees. Sometimes, a scorched earth approach is needed but many times it makes more sense to take a judicious and careful approach. In addition to the financial costs of litigation, Glenn understands there is a high emotional cost to everything you do in litigation. While keeping you informed and protected, Glenn also tries to empower you and make it easier for you to protect yourself and resolve conflicts more easily down the road. If you are not getting good service from your lawyer, let Glenn know and he may post your experience on his blog, Stupid Things My Lawyer Did, so he and other lawyers can learn from your unfortunate experiences.. When needed, Glenn will advise you about the use of various forensic experts such as accountants, appraisers and financial analysts. Glenn has established relationships with respected and knowledgeable experts in various fields including tax, financial planning, parenting, substance abuse, sexual abuse, computers, private investigation, business and pension valuations, personal property and real estate valuations. Glenn often uses the specialized skills of a certified divorce financial analyst to help value the marital estate, assess the parties’ income, trace separate property assets, and evaluate tax planning strategies for settlement. A financial expert can provide valuable assistance during discovery, settlement negotiations, trial and in collaborative cases.. Personal InformationGlenn was an orphan before working class parents in rural Wisconsin, close to Madison, adopted him. Glenn did not grow up the privileged child of lawyers or other professionals. Of the 262 persons in his law school class, he was one of a handful whose parents were not college graduates. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Glenn worked numerous jobs to pay for college and law school. He truly understands what it means to struggle financially and understands the need to be conservative with your hard-earned money.. Options Regarding Representation and PaymentsUnbundled or Limited ServicesGlenn often provides “unbundled legal services” or limited representation. Unbundled services is when an attorney provides limited assistance instead of full representation. This option often makes legal help affordable. If you only need advice, document preparation, and help preparing for court, unbundled legal services may work for you. Unbundled often works well for modifications, name changes, and uncontested divorces. Contact Glenn if you are curious about unbundled legal services. He can review your situation and provide just the limited services you need such as drafting of documents, and helping you prepare for questions the judge may ask. You can then represent yourself with more confidence but with much lower legal costs and greater control over how your case is handled

Growing up in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee, Luke learned two things from an early age: that hard work is good for the soul and to enjoy a good challenge. He applied those lessons throughout his high school career at David Crockett High School in Jonesborough, Tennessee and his undergraduate studies at the University of Tennessee.. In 2009, he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Political Science and Legal Studies from UT Knoxville.. That same year, Luke enrolled at the UT College of Law and began his legal education, the first person in his family to ever attend law school. While in law school, Luke was the first law clerk Judge Bill Swann of Knox County 4th Circuit Court ever hired. While working with Judge Swann Luke learned the ins and outs of family law. Luke also tried cases in the UT Domestic Violence Clinic and was a member of UT's National Trial Team where he honed his trial skills and courtroom presence. His studies focused on practical, hands on litigation skills where his hard work and "never back down" attitude could flourish.. In October 2012, Luke was licensed to practice law in Tennessee and has already begun to make a name for himself in the local courts.. When he isn't doing legal work, Luke is an avid UT football and basketball fan. He enjoys unwinding with some good music, a book, and a little quality time with his cats. He also enjoys a good challenge outside of work as well- Luke is the only legally blind person most people know who is a pistol marksmanship enthusiast.

A Word About My Legal Philosophy. Since I opened my practice in 1997, I have been fortunate to represent and counsel hundreds of clients in the areas of Divorce and child custody, spousal and child support, Business matters and litigation, Contracts, Family Law litigation and negotiation, and Estate Planning methods and documents to protect my clients' assets and income through the use of Trusts, Wills, Powers of Attorney, advance Medicaid/Nursing Home Planning, and more.. When working with my clients to resolve legal matters and situations, I am cognizant that I serve in several roles, and I provide dynamic, well-thought-out and prepared representation and counsel.  My goal is to be bold, to advise and assist my clients in crafting reasonable goals, and in setting out the framework to obtain the best results possible for my clients, for their families, businesses, and future.  I look forward to helping you.. When selecting an attorney, you should feel confident in that professional before you hire her.  At your Consultation appointment, ask the qustions that are on your mind, including those that scare you.  You are there to learn how this person can represent and advise you, and Knowledge is Power.  If you have answers, you can make better decisions.  It is part of my job to help my clients learn what their legal options are, and what they can do to help me put their best foot forward in their legal matters.. FAMILY LAW MATTERS:  I understand that when you are going through a divorce, a child custody or support fight, or any other Family legal matter, it is one of the most stressful times of your life.  It is important to me that my clients understand their legal options, have their questions answered and rights protected, and be well-represented by a knowledgeable and prepared attorney.  I am always pleased to help a client negotiate a reasonable settlement to resolve their family or other legal disputes, and settlement is often possiblie when both sides are reasonable.  However, when that opportunity is not present, I am ready to take your matter to trial.. BUSINESS LAW AND CONTRACTS:  Contracts are the basis for all business, and are often the most important - and overlooked - documents that can make or break a client's position. Surprisingly, family law matters and forward-thinking estate planning issues are often goverened by contracts as well.  My advanced degrees, education, and experience are in Law as well as Business: I earned my Masters of Business Administration at the same time as my Law Degree, in 1997.  I have advised and represented clients since 1997 in the law of Business, Contracts, Entity Formation and operations, Litigation, and winding up of business affairs.  I look forward to working with you.. WILLS, TRUSTS, AND POWERS OF ATTORNEY:  For some clients, a Will is the best option, but for others, a Trust will better meet their needs and goals for controlling and maintaining their home and assets during their lifetimes, and passing it to their loved ones for the future.  A consultation with a knowledgeable attorney can help you understand the differences in how these documents work, and can help you determine  which better fits with your goals.  Powers of Attorney for finances, healthcare decisions, and the care that will determine your very life, are vital, and sometimes are of more use to Clients than even a Will.  These documents are not only for  you: your family needs for you to have them.  Call us at today for a consultation.. A WORD ABOUT FEES AND LEGAL CONSULTATIONS:. Often, one of the most valuable service we offer is the initial consultation.  I charge a flat fee of $ for the initial, one-hour consultation.. If our consultation lasts significantly longer than one hour, the additional time will be charged at $ per hour.  During the iniital consultation, I will not only answer your questions, but also give you information about the legal process, your options, and what to expect emotionally, financially, and legally, throughout your legal proceedings.  I will also try and help you determine whether your problem can be solved outside of court.  It is also a time for you to meet my staff who will work with me to assist you throughout your situation.. I look forward to working with you to help you resolve your legal situation.  Call to schedule a legal consultation today.
