Highly Recommend Fiona McCormick

Fiona is a caring and professional lawyer who stuck by my side for what has to be the longest and most miserable divorce case ever! I'd need more than 4,000 characters to really explain what happened and how amazing she was during this ordeal. There were constant twists and turns, unexpected delays... and ridiculous games played by my now ex-husband and his attorney that at times made it seem like the case would never be finalized. Fiona stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process. She always took the time to explain everything to me. She consciously tried to keep me updated and calm, every step of the way, especially when she had to tell me things she knew I would be upset about. She made sure I understood my options and provided sincere encouragement along with her professional advice in a manner that showed honest concern for me and my future. She is smart, caring, and compassionate while being firm and strong in the courtroom. I can say for sure that she can handle difficult situations and difficult people, always keeping what's best for her clients at the forefront of her actions. I can't thank her enough for her patience with me and for always keeping me well informed about every single thing, both big and small, that came up during my case. She is an excellent attorney and I would not have wanted anyone else representing me. I highly recommend Fiona McCormick.

Outstanding Representation & Results

5 Years ago, I moved to the Lake County area from a western Illinois suburb. When I inquired about a reputable divorce attorney with new friends and colleagues here in the Lake County area, Fiona McCormick's name was brought to my attention on virtually every instance. I met with her in person and I ...hired her very shortly after our initial consultation. She took the time to sit down with me, face to face, to discuss specific options regarding my divorce proceedings after a long, separation period with my spouse. She answered all of my questions, always kept me informed of the progress of my case at all times, and provided all legal documentation to me in an expeditious manner. She diligently represented me in Zoom virtual court as required, and within less than (1) year of deliberation with opposing counsel, she was able to help me reach a final, amicable agreement that was deemed fair by both parties. Amazingly enough, this all took place near the start of and current continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic. (April 2020 to February 2021). Fiona is brilliant, tenacious, and professional. I hold Fiona McCormick and The Law Offices of David R. Del Re P.C. law firm team in very high regard, and will highly recommend them to anyone and everyone that is searching for a law firm that gets positive results, and gets things accomplished, now and in the future. Fiona, I am truly grateful and Thank You for being in my corner.

Great service highly recomend!

MS. McCormick took the time to sit with me and discuss specific options to go about my legal case. I live far south, but my court hearings were in Waukegan. She answered all my questions as the case went and always had someone to get back to me if she was not available. She worked with me and kept me... informed at all times. She was always present in court as needed and took for account my family's needs to best get to a final agreement from both parties. I highly recomend her services.

Fiona is an outstanding attorney!

I was recommended Fiona McCormick of the Law Offices of David Del Re by a colleague. There are not enough words to describe the appreciation and the hard work Fiona did for myself and my kids. I consulted with Fiona McCormick and hired her to help me gain custody of my kids. From the moment I sat ...with Fiona, I knew she was a hard worker, tough and calculating. First, I had to overturn an OP, which Joseph Fusz of the same office assisted with and did. After that, Fiona sought to give me sole decision making and majority parenting time. Throughout the process, Fiona communicated with me about every filing, every thought process she had and every option I had. She was always accessible too. I knew I could email her or call her office at anytime and she would make herself available to discuss the case. She was extremely courteous and listened to all my concerns which she would appropriately address in her filings. Her professionalism and her communication kept me calm and comfortable during an extremely stressful period. Even when the parenting agreement was established and the case was closed, Fiona took time to hear my concerns regarding any incident or problem that arose afterwards. She would reopen the case and continue her work. Of all my concerns, the greatest that Fiona looked after the most was the children's interest. In every decision, she (and our GAL) made sure the interest and safety of the children was protected. In the end, not only did Fiona help me gain sole decision making and custody of my children, but she also put in stipulations to make sure the children were safe when they are with the other parent. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a family attorney to seriously consider hiring Fiona McCormick. Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do!
