BEST DIVORCE ATTORNEY, CREME DE LE CREME

I was referred to David by another attorney (he is that well respected in the community)..best decision ever. Just finished a 4 day trial with him (post decree work) and he slaughtered opposing counsel who charges almost 50% more than him! He KILLED it! Nobody can hold a candle to David. Previously I... have worked with Beermann and Berger Shatz, 2 prestigous firms, both of which are awful! They severly over-charge for jr. attorneys and you never know who is going to court for you (whomever is available). David represents his clients 150%, is EXTREMELY familiar with the law (child support statue just changed and opposing counsel didn't even understand it). He is VERY well respected by colleagues and the judges. This is extremely important to your case. He contacts you when he needs to, doesn't over-prepare... is considerate of your dollars. His staff is great too, Courtney is a doll. DON'T EVEN THINK TWICE, HIRE DAVID FOR ALL YOUR FAMILY LAW ISSUES.

Prenuptial Agreement

Hired David years back. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I had to revisit my prenuptial agreement for clarification matters regarding my business and David not only took the time but actually explained in layman terms the overall picture in whole and my rights. I was impressed how he not ...only designed the prenuptial but the time and questions he asked me years back which can protect me in the future if ever needed. Highly recommend David and his firm.

David 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.

Respectful, Efficient, Effective, and Affordable

Many times, people want to complain about their attorney because they either are inexperienced in how the legal process works or they had a bad case to begin with and they expected their attorney to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I have had to use professional legal services from many attorne...ys in many states over the course of my career. I have found that if you keep the emotions out of it, your attorney can get you the best result. This includes not hammering your attorney with daily calls and emails seeking "updates". The legal process moves incredibly slow by most peoples' standards and can be frustrating for the litigants as well as their attorneys. Unfortunately, there isn't much anyone can do to make the courts go faster as they too are clogged with heavy caseloads. The point is you have to set reasonable expectations with your attorney and they need to work as efficiently and effectively to get you results without wasting your precious resources in gaining you the best possible outcome the court may allow. Nothing is ever guaranteed because you just don't know what a judge or jury will determine. It's how the system works. Mr. Del Re did a great job for me. He and his staff kept me updated throughout the proceedings...he filed motions that moved my case along expediently...he was able to negotiate with opposing counsel to save precious time and dollars in litigating my case. This saved me thousands of dollars. Choosing an attorney for life's important matters is always worth the time of investigating before deciding on who you will hire to represent you. I strongly advise you meet with David Del Re for a free consult before making that decision. Come prepared with your facts as best you can and have honest expectations and you will not be disappointed in the outcome.
