David R. Del Re

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.

I interviewed quite a number of attorneys before hiring David Del Re to represent me in my divorce proceedings ending a 30 year marriage. My wife was CFO for a disreputable private individual and most of the firms I spoke with were quite frankly afraid of the reputation of my wife's employer who was... paying all of her legal fees with the NATION's LARGEST Matrimonial Law Firm. Needless to say, my chances looked pretty bleak. She seemed to hold all of the Aces and I was positioned to be squashed like a grape in court.....but that didn't happen because David Del Re fearlessly accepted my case and went to war for me. My ex's legal team put me through every imaginable legal obstacle they could devise. David counter-punched at every opportunity and continued to score point upon point in the court and moved the ball down the field against a seemingly ominous law firm with millions upon millions of dollars in available assets and numerous ex-judges on their team. Long story, short version: after a FOUR YEAR battle, David Del Re and Fiona McCormick obtained an incredible judgment for me in a process that was nothing short of grueling. David and Fiona took command in the courtroom during my FOUR DAY trial and absolutely overwhelmed the opposition who were lead by an ex-judge with over 20 years' experience on the bench. David and Fiona just plain out-lawyered the opposition and buried them. I actually felt bad for my ex with how inept her legal team looked compared to mine....even though she outspent me 3:1. YES! That is right. David Del Re took on the giant at 1/3 the cost of his opposition and CRUSHED IT!! If you want to win with a legal team who will represent you with the honor and integrity your reputation deserves, call the offices of David Del Re RIGHT NOW! I am getting phone calls and emails from other friends who work in the legal profession who are congratulating me for an incredible win over this powerhouse law firm (SD&F) and wanting to know more about David Del Re and Fiona McCormick. All I can say is I basically trusted them with my life and they protected me against incredible odds. I feel confident in being able to move on with my life now. Thank you David, Fiona, Rachel, Courtney and Nidia as well as anyone else who worked on my case since 2011.

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.

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.
