David R. Del Re

Many times, people want to complain about their attorney because they either are inexperienced in how the legal process works or they had a bad case to begin with and they expected their attorney to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I have had to use professional legal services from many attorne...ys in many states over the course of my career. I have found that if you keep the emotions out of it, your attorney can get you the best result. This includes not hammering your attorney with daily calls and emails seeking "updates". The legal process moves incredibly slow by most peoples' standards and can be frustrating for the litigants as well as their attorneys. Unfortunately, there isn't much anyone can do to make the courts go faster as they too are clogged with heavy caseloads. The point is you have to set reasonable expectations with your attorney and they need to work as efficiently and effectively to get you results without wasting your precious resources in gaining you the best possible outcome the court may allow. Nothing is ever guaranteed because you just don't know what a judge or jury will determine. It's how the system works. Mr. Del Re did a great job for me. He and his staff kept me updated throughout the proceedings...he filed motions that moved my case along expediently...he was able to negotiate with opposing counsel to save precious time and dollars in litigating my case. This saved me thousands of dollars. Choosing an attorney for life's important matters is always worth the time of investigating before deciding on who you will hire to represent you. I strongly advise you meet with David Del Re for a free consult before making that decision. Come prepared with your facts as best you can and have honest expectations and you will not be disappointed in the outcome.

I was fortunate enough to find and use the services of David Del Re and his law practice to assist in a custody battle. I was able to get Sole Custody of my 8 year old daughter and after several years of having to go through the ringer with my ex, David was able to take on my case quickly and execute... so we were on the offensive instead of on the defense in our case. He used the proof or information I had and put it to good use so we were able to have a likely outcome and in the end in Trial. As a proud Father I would definitely refer David and his office to any person who is looking for someone to have their back and be efficient to serve the Best Interests of the Child. So glad I hired this lawyer and you should too.

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.

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!

As stated in a previous review, if negative stars were available, the would apply to David Del Re. After discussing my divorce case with David, and explaining in detail the single specific financial detail that my wife and I were in disagreement about, I hired David based on his suggestions that I h...ad a case. That was were his involvement with my case ended, as he didn't respond to emails, questions, and did nothing to actually look at his notes, understand the very simple point of disagreement with my case, and prepare for my pretrial. At pretrial, David was the only one who had no idea about what my actual dispute was with my wife, and it was a complete and total embarrassment. Instead of admitting that he didn't understand my case, and spent zero time reviewing, David accused me of lying to him and the court, which is completely and utterly ridiculousness. This experience was a complete waste of money and time and I strongly recommend you stay far away from David Del Re and his firm.
