Our Story

Waldo E. Rassas began practicing law in Clarksville in 1947 and continued for nearly five decades until his retirement in 1996. A graduate of St. John’s University Law School in New York, he practiced there until World War II, when he served as a flight instructor and research pilot.

His son, Mark Rassas, joined the practice in 1976 and worked alongside his father until Waldo’s retirement. Julia North joined the firm in 1993 and became a named partner in 2001. Allen Rassas, a graduate of the Nashville School of Law, became a partner in 2023 — carrying the family’s commitment to Clarksville and Montgomery County into a new generation.

Today, Rassas Law continues to provide practical, relationship-based legal counsel to individuals and families across the community.

A Long-Standing Home in Clarksville

The original Glenn Building housed the offices of Rassas & Rassas for over 50 years. Built in 1899, it was also known as the “Lawyers Office Building.” At one time, it housed the offices of former United States Supreme Court Justice Horace H. Lurton and former Tennessee Governor Austin Peay, and provided offices for many prominent Clarksville attorneys throughout the past century.

The tornado of January 1999 proved the strength of the original structure. When the Surrounding buildings were demolished, the Glenn Building maintained its structural integrity.

When Montgomery County determined that the site was needed for the new Courts Complex, an attempt was made to move the entire structure — by the same company that moved the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. When it was determined the building could not be relocated within the county’s constraints, a decision was made to rebuild on a new site.

The current Glenn Building, at 120 South Second Street in Clarksville, was completed in December 2001 and received the Clarksville Downtown District Partnership Award of Merit for historic replication.
