Received Sole Custody
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...

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...

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...

Beware, stay away from this attorney
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...
Hello, anonymous, I obviously know who wrote this review and sadly, yes when you misrepresent the facts multiple times, even while preparing with your attorney minutes before the hearing you reference above, and your attorney learns the actual facts from the other side during a pretrial hearing, often the outcome is not good, which is the lesson you learned. However, what you failed to include is that I was still able to successfully negotiate terms of your marital settlement agreement that put you in the same financial position you would have been had you been forthright. I always answered all of your emails and true to my word, did not bill you for any work done after that pretrial, which I was certainly not obligated to do, as the court's recommendation was based on your false narrative, nonetheless saving you legal fees. Despite your negative review, I wish you well.

Incompetent and dishonest
If I could give negative stars, i would. Originally the contingency of hiring DelRe was that he represent my case, not his associate Kat Allen. He assured me he would represent, which was a compete lie. The case has been ongoing for almost a year and thousands of dollars later, nothing has been accom...
We are sorry you are unhappy with our representation of you in this matter. However, our office makes it clear both in our initial consultations and in our retainer agreements that we take a team approach and many times the associates at the firm do assist me with cases as it is practical, especially with clients who are sensitive to spending attorney’s fees because the associates bill at lower hourly rates. It also made sense in your case because Ms. Allen was the attorney who resolved your case the last time you were in court so she was most familiar with the facts of your case and the parties involved. Further, on one of the hearing dates, when I was unable to be present, we explicitly asked you if you wanted to continue to court date to a date when I could be present and you declined, wanting to get the case resolved sooner rather than later. Regarding your allegation that Ms. Allen does not understand the nuances of the child support calculations, that allegation is simply untrue. There are multiple ways to calculate support, especially when the calculations are for past-due support on additional income received over your base, and multiple programs that are commonly used in the family law arena. We kept you apprised of your potential liability at every stage in the litigation and constantly reset your expectations as the calculations evolved and as received more information about your tax deductions and other numbers that affect the overall numbers of your past-due support in discovery. The bottom-line is that you did not pay any support on your additional income for three years despite the very clear court orders requiring you to do so. Yes, it is true that if you do not comply with court orders requiring you to pay child support, you are going to owe money and, yes, if you do not have a good reason for not complying with court orders, you may have to pay attorney’s fees. We did everything we could to manage your expectations and limit your exposure and potential liability, but at the end of the day, we are attorneys, not miracle workers. We cannot go back in time and change the fact that you did not pay any child support on your significant additional income for three years. We are sorry that our representation ended on a negative note. If you wish to discuss any of the above in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
