About Michael P.
Michael P. Glisson earned his law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1996. He completed his formal legal education in the mid-1990s and has practiced since then in jurisdictions across the Midwest.
He is a partner at Glisson Law. Over the years he has become a fixture in the local legal community through courtroom work and bar association involvement. He is admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and in the states of Illinois and Missouri. Those admissions allow him to take cases in both state and federal forums.
Glisson maintains active memberships in the Illinois State Bar and the Missouri State Bar. He also belongs to the Alton-Wood River Bar Association, where he participates in events and discussions that address regional legal issues. His involvement in these organizations keeps him connected to developments in procedure and case law that affect litigators in the region.
As a partner at Glisson Law, he handles matters that proceed in trial and appellate courts. His federal admissions indicate experience handling filings and appearances in district and appellate settings. He works alongside colleagues at his firm to prepare filings, present oral argument when required, and manage litigation from initial pleadings through resolution.
Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and attentive to case details. He balances litigation work with the administrative responsibilities that come with a leadership role at a law firm. That combination shapes how he approaches client matters and the management of cases that cross state lines or move between trial and appellate dockets.
Outside of court appearances, he contributes to the practice community through bar activities and local association events. His practice spans multiple jurisdictions, reflecting both state-level and federal work in Illinois and Missouri. He is currently a partner at Glisson Law, where his practice focuses on representing clients in matters brought in Illinois and Missouri courts and in federal courts including the Southern District of Illinois and the Seventh Circuit.
