BEST DIVORCE ATTORNEY, CREME DE LE CREME

I was referred to David by another attorney (he is that well respected in the community)..best decision ever. Just finished a 4 day trial with him (post decree work) and he slaughtered opposing counsel who charges almost 50% more than him! He KILLED it! Nobody can hold a candle to David. Previously I... have worked with Beermann and Berger Shatz, 2 prestigous firms, both of which are awful! They severly over-charge for jr. attorneys and you never know who is going to court for you (whomever is available). David represents his clients 150%, is EXTREMELY familiar with the law (child support statue just changed and opposing counsel didn't even understand it). He is VERY well respected by colleagues and the judges. This is extremely important to your case. He contacts you when he needs to, doesn't over-prepare... is considerate of your dollars. His staff is great too, Courtney is a doll. DON'T EVEN THINK TWICE, HIRE DAVID FOR ALL YOUR FAMILY LAW ISSUES.

Simply Awesome!!!! The best Divorce Attorney in Lake County Bar-None!

David R. Del Re represented me very recently regarding an Emergency Motion that was filed by my ex-spouse. Prior to being introduced to David, I was working with what was considered by many trusted friends, as one of the biggest and best family law firms and attorney in the Chicago area. What a ...joke! The bottom line- after wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars with another firm, David provided me with the best representation I have ever had. No attorney has ever shown such passion, care and understanding of the situation and more importantly, the law. Needless to say, David prevailed in the matter of the Emergency Motion that my ex-spouse filed. David was successful in persuading the judge to deny my ex-spouses demands outlined in her Emergency Motion. He has proven himself to me like no other attorney I have engaged with. David is a true winner! Bill

David Del Re

After looking into a few lawyers to use for my divorce, I chose David Del Re, and it was definitely the right choice. David was professional from the minute I walked in. David got the information he needed from me, was very clear about the steps that would be taken and what the process would entail.... I didn't feel rushed and he didn't leave me with questions or uncertainties. Everything through the process was done in an efficient and timely matter. When emergencies arose during my case, David Del Re and his office were able to quickly do what needed to be done, getting emergency court dates and paperwork in quickly. David's knowledge, professionalism and personality made this process a lot easier than it would have been otherwise.

Professional, Ethical and Client-Minded

David has been my attorney for nearly seven years, representing me during my divorce and in all post-decree matters. He and Fiona were always punctual with scheduled appointments/teleconferences and his firm's correspondence and invoicing kept me fully apprised as to how my case was progressing. Davi...d was especially adept at being able to balance zealous advocacy while maintaining compassion toward my ex-spouse post-decree when she elected to file certain matters and represent herself pro se. As a practicing regulatory attorney, I was able to understand many aspects of my case though David would frequently (and in a timely fashion) bring up nuances of law that we needed to further evaluate. His thorough representation made me feel as though I had a trusted advisor who actually cared about the outcome of my case and who wanted me to understand even those nuances that I would otherwise have most certainly overlooked. David is a model attorney that others should aspire to be.

Very Effective and Aggressive In Protecting Clients

David and his team did a great job for me. I was not well-informed going into my divorce but David and Fiona were very patient in advising me as to matters of law and how to protect my rights in court. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with a divorce...no... matter if it is a mutual agreement or not...no matter if you have kids or not...you need an attorney looking out for YOU.
