David R. Del Re

Four years for only a parenting agreement?!?! No divorce. No child support issues. Just a parenting agreement! He does not return calls/emails promptly. Total fees were over $10k, but no results! He fired me as a client without notice. Is that legal?! I hired another attorney who got it done in l...ess than six months and for about 1/10 of the cost! If you have no clout in Lake Co., RUN!

My story is the same as others. I paid him over $8000 dollars and he filed motions and never followed through. My ex broke 3 court orders and I was charged over $3000 for him to file motions that never came be. Now he filed a motion to withdraw 6 weeks before my trial. I have filed a complaint t...o the Illinois Bar Association--- I think if more people file complaints we can get these lawyers to be held to the high standards their rates reflect.

When I initially interviewed with him I thought he was competent and felt very confident in retaining him. After he took the retainer he became impossible to reach . HE WAS ALWAYS BUSY AND DIDNT RETURN CALLS. Hes very slick upon meeting him but did not have good follow thru. He then decided that i ...should seek different counsel.

Honestly this is by far the most pathetic representation available. At the initial consultation he seemed very confident and very straight forward. He did not seem to have any holes in his presentation. He charged me a very low fee, but honestly I would have rathered invested a little more pocket cha...nge and actually go with someone that was representing me correctly. My case was to modify visitation, and get unpaid child support. Well let me tell you David never showed up. He sent in his assistant Fianna I think her name was and at the end my exs lawyer was telling her how to fill out the paperwork. I was the one arguing with my exs lawyer and negotiating. She was pathetic! Just a WASTE of time and money. I will never recommend David Del Re to anyone. After I was sooo upset at the results I made it my goal to post reviews anywhere and everywhere of Mr. Del Re's pathetic representation as well as his helpless asisstant Fianna, so that no one would waste their time and look elsewhere. Oh and final results were that my ex who never picked up my son on visitation got more time and he was 2500.00 behind on child support got ordered to pay an additional 20.00 a week. This was a month ago. I have still yet to receive the first Child Support Check. Child support was put in place July 2012. Have not received a dime. Visitation my ex has picked him up 1 out of 10 times. DO NOT GO WITH DAVID DEL RE!!

When my husband was charged with a crime that he did not commit, we were advised by my attorney to go to Mr. Del Re. He said that although he can't guarentee it, he felt that my spouce's case was very winnable, the state's case was full of holes and inaccuracies. After obtaining the needed down payme...nt (we had to empty our savings and borrow from family while waiting for the disbursement of my retirement acoount to be paid to me). I did all the leg work on the case giving him all the documentation on the case for my husbands defense. On the first day of "trial" when jury selection was to begin, he asked for additional money. I told him that my retirement money would be in hand in 3 days...he told me "I have kids to feed" (in his sharp expensive suit) then turned to judge Rosetti and said "I need to recuse myself from this case as I have a difference of opinion with my client." So my husband was stuck without an attourney at the beginning of trial, after he took alot of money for defending my husband. There was no way we would have had enough to get another lawyer. He ruined our lives. Yes, my husband was convicted.
