David R. 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.

I did some research and met with a couple of other attorneys before I found David del Re and Associates. I was seeking relocation and primary physical allocation for my son I had from a previous relationship. We were never married, and we had been primarily structuring a custody schedule on our own w...ithout court intervention. We split our parenting time quite equally, but my husband was being relocated for work out of state. I was told by one lawyer that I had no chance of succeeding, and another that didn't give me the attention I felt I needed to feel comfortable moving forward. When I met with David for our initial consultation, I left his office feeling like I had found what I was looking for in an attorney. An honest, down to earth, no nonsense attorney with integrity. I moved forward, with a very restrictive timeline, approximately three months between filing for relocation and allocation, to the date we had to leave Illinois. My sons father fought us very hard, and his lawyer ultimately used whatever gutless tactics she could to portray me as an unfit mother. David and Kat (another AMAZING attorney in his office) and their team took my emails, frantic calls, and answered them quickly, and not to mention kept me calm through one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. We ultimately did end up going through a hearing, which resulted in an agreement, but only because our judge urged us to because he was going to grant me the relocation. But regardless, it was the professionalism and character that my attorneys conveyed through their work that got us that far. If anyone asked me to refer them to an attorney I wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend their office. And while David was an absolute hard hitting lawyer, Kat Allen was my go to contact that kept me in the loop and was always capable of speaking to me on my level and extended empathy for the circumstances. They beyond saved my life, because without their services I can't say what position my family would be in now. My sons father and I still maintain a close relationship, and a liberal parenting and visitation schedule, because that is what was important and that is what we have dedicated ourselves to doing. I'm forever grateful I found David del Re and Associates.

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.

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.

I was fortunate to find Attorney David after my previous attorney took me for $13,000 over 3 weeks. David was honest, professional, kind, and a strong advocate for my little family (during a difficult divorce and child custody case). I would recommend him to anyone looking for an individual who is fa...ir, a good listener, and excellent at communicating (without charging all those hidden fees).
