Tom Glick featured “Clayton Attorney Volunteers to Fight for Those In Need”

Tom Glick’s efforts through Legal Services of Eastern Missouri are the subject of an article in the Suburban Journals.

“I believe we have the best justice system in the world, but it takes a lawyer to access it, which is why it’s important for the legal system to take on pro bono work,” [Glick] said….

In court, he dedicates time helping homeless and other low income residents of the area, regularly representing them in court proceedings….

Glick said the best legal fee he ever collected was a plate of cookies from a pro bono client he kept from losing a home.

Reuben Shelton, president of the board of directors of legal services, called Glick an invaluable resource, in terms of the time, talent and efforts he donates.

“He’s always been willing to give of himself, taking on a heavy commitment of time without hesitation. He’s done so much for the community, no doubt about it,” Shelton said.

Not having had the opportunity to see the article prior to publishing, Tom wished to comment that LSEM thoroughly appreciates and values all types of contributions, including monetary ones. And in his remark about budgets, he was definitely referring to another of his own responsibilities–comparing board-level budget work to legal representation, he personally finds the legal work more rewarding, but both efforts are important to the success of an organization like LSEM.
