RESULTS DRIVEN – OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY

I was blessed and fortunate to have David Del Re recommended to me. David has been representing me for several years both pre and post-divorce. My ex-husband’s goal was to ruin my life by spending almost every penny we had. David represented me throughout the years for an order of protection hear...ing, custody trial, financial trial, visitation hearings, child support issues, maintenance issues, and contempt issues against both me and my ex. He supported me while my children and I were dealing with a Child representative, two Custody Evaluators, an attorney for my child, and supported my oldest child by filing a petition for an “In Camera Hearing.” David took the lead and I trusted his ability to represent me on both an Appeal with the Appellate Court and next with the Supreme Court of IL. All initiated by my ex-husband. David has been successful defending for me in every aspect of my divorce proceedings. My ex was so frustrated losing he went through at least 5 different attorney’s. David is exceptional in trial. I can’t imagine anyone as Masterful as him. David is extremely articulate, knowledgeable, quick thinking, persuasive and passionate. He aggressively advocates for me while at the same time exhibiting class and professionalism throughout all of my divorce proceedings. I never had any other attorney there is no reason : Custody Trial – I got sole custody, Financial Trial – lucrative outcome, Trials and hearings regarding my children – successful, Contempt charges –won, Appeal – won, Supreme Court verdict – won, and David’s Fees- very reasonable. I recommended David to several people. They all have been very impressed and pleased with his work. David will fight passionately for you. He is responsive and will get back to you with your questions and concerns. He is always prepared and ready to fight on your behalf. David takes the time to care. You will be in good hands with him and he will help you get through your difficult times successfully.

Professional Experience, Trusted Attorney

Divorce is not what anyone dreams of. But it does happen. So I found out. But with all the chaos and strange new things to deal with, the Law Offices of David Del Re stood with me. Everyday. Keeping me informed of the process, my rights, and also what I could expect - all things that reassured me of ...my decision to choose this attorney, David Del Re. Throughout the divorce proceedings (and post divorce proceedings), I always felt like I had a trusted partner with me in the most difficult times. Professional. Trusted. Attorney David Del Re. I would gladly recommend this lawyer.

A lawyer worth hiring

I was in a custody fight for my 2 children. After a year and a half with my first lawyer and thousands of dollars spent I was nowhere. I found David and after my first meeting with him I felt very confident with him on my case. He was very honest with me telling me that my case would not be easy b...eing a father fighting for custody. From the beginning he took charge and I was extremely pleased with the way he handled my case. If you think any lawyer has the time to be at your beckon call you have never dealt with lawyers. They have a ton of cases and are very busy. David always responded to my emails and questions and took the time to keep me informed. After a long case and a lot of frustration with the court system, David worked very hard to win me custody of my children. He is well worth every penny I spent on him. I would highly recommend David to anybody who is looking for a lawyer. David is a lawyer who knows what he is doing and won't waste your money.

Finally, a lawyer who cares and delivers results!

David has represented me for almost 5 years in post-decree divorce matters, and we have faced just about every allegation you can imagine involving Child Support, Custody & Visitation. I have been divorced for almost 10 years and have 3 minor children. Over the years I have had several different at...torneys and have found David to be the best! He is extremely smart and efficient and he knows the law and can think on his feet. He has great relationships with the people you need on your side and is definitely respected by the Judges. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has issues in Family Court. He is fair, honest, capable and knows how to get things done. He isn't the cheapest solution available but he's not the most expensive either - you definitely get a good bang for your buck. His support staff is also very capable and smart which makes a bigger difference than you might realize. I don't know how I would have gotten through the last 5 years without David. He really is a trusted adviser and the peace of mind from knowing that you're in good hands and that he will be there when you really need him is invaluable!

Former Client

David DelRe recently handled my divorce. Since the first time I meet him I had confidence on him. He clearly explained all the possible outcomes of my case to me beforehand. He has an excellent team who kept me informed constantly. In my opinion, he did an excellent job as my lawyer. I would defin...itely recommend Mr. DelRe.
