David R. Del Re

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.

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...plished. David never once worked with us as he promised, he passed the case to his associate Kat. She does not understand the nuances of child support calculations and was completely at a loss when up against opposing counsel.

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.
