I have no complaints

I think David did a great job. With the courts being closed due to COVID-19, it did take a little longer to get my divorced finalized but that was no one’s fault. They were able to get the soonest court date and I am happy to say that I am divorced!! Plus, I really think Courtney is the best. She alw...ays made me feel like all my questions were important and made sure I knew what was going on.

David Del Re Did A Great Job For Me

Getting a divorce is incredibly stressful and I hope I never have to go through it again. If I do, I will hire David and his team again in a heartbeat. Even though it was terribly confusing sometimes I was always able to get an answer to my questions as the process steadily ground forward. Everyon...e in the office made me feel like I wasn't alone and that they cared. When all was said and done, my divorce came to an end and I survived in better shape than I expected thanks to David and his team. I highly recommend them if you are getting divorced and need to protect your children and yourself.

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...ing, custody trial, financial trial, visitation hearings, child support issues, maintenance issues, and contempt issues against both me and my ex. He supported me while my children and I were dealing with a Child representative, two Custody Evaluators, an attorney for my child, and supported my oldest child by filing a petition for an “In Camera Hearing.” David took the lead and I trusted his ability to represent me on both an Appeal with the Appellate Court and next with the Supreme Court of IL. All initiated by my ex-husband. David has been successful defending for me in every aspect of my divorce proceedings. My ex was so frustrated losing he went through at least 5 different attorney’s. David is exceptional in trial. I can’t imagine anyone as Masterful as him. David is extremely articulate, knowledgeable, quick thinking, persuasive and passionate. He aggressively advocates for me while at the same time exhibiting class and professionalism throughout all of my divorce proceedings. I never had any other attorney there is no reason : Custody Trial – I got sole custody, Financial Trial – lucrative outcome, Trials and hearings regarding my children – successful, Contempt charges –won, Appeal – won, Supreme Court verdict – won, and David’s Fees- very reasonable. I recommended David to several people. They all have been very impressed and pleased with his work. David will fight passionately for you. He is responsive and will get back to you with your questions and concerns. He is always prepared and ready to fight on your behalf. David takes the time to care. You will be in good hands with him and he will help you get through your difficult times successfully.

A lawyer you can trust when you need someone to protect you

I had order of protection case. I was scared and I knew it would be a difficult case because of who the person was. I didn't know where to turn to for help nor who to trust. David came very highly recommended by workers in the court house and by friends. Once I met with David, I started to feel le...ss afraid and I instantly knew that I was in good hands. David was very communicative, knowledgeable, firm, protective, and caring. I'm so grateful to him for all he did to help me and the fees were very, very fair.

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
