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.

Experienced and knowledgeable with realistic expectations provided to client

If you are realistic and want a brutally honest assessment of your expectations in your divorce, make an appointment to see David. He is very experienced, knowledgeable in the matters of family law and is equally comfortable in the ways of the Lake County court system. He represented me quite skil...lfully at my divorce trial and did so at a very fair price. Importantly, he was always up front about what he could or couldn't get for me. He could have charged more money but billed me less out of concern for me. When has your lawyer done that for you? You can go ahead and hire a high priced divorce specialist and think you'll get everything you want ( because you won't ) or you can hire a pragmatic negotiator who gets an unpleasant job done in the most cost efficient manner possible. I highly recommend this attorney

Posted by joe | June 07, 2010 | Domestic Violence

Best lawyer at reasonable rate and dedicated to clients success

Mr Del Re recently successfully represented me in an order of protection hearing. (As a male the odds of one succeeding in this kind of case are about 20%). He did a great job through skillful questioning and cross examination. You have to trust him when he says he knows his business because he do...es. He runs a high volume practice, so his level of expertise regarding domestic violence, divorce and family law matters is one that few peers can match. I believe he is dedicated to his client, begins most workdays in his office by 5:30 AM. If you don't need handholding he would be my first choice. I'll use him again without hesitation.
