Worse decision ever
Horrible and will delay and find ways to increase your bill. Attorney dragged out my case and did nothing but make it worse. Found reasons to be unprofessional towards opposing attorney. Made a mess of my case just to bill more. Then wouldn't acknowledge payments even though I had receipts. T...

Awful
I don't typically review online but this experience was the worst and others need to know to not be taken advantage of. Do your homework on this lawyer and talk to other attorneys as ask about him. I fell for his fancy website and long resume. My next attorney laughed about it and said "Dion is k...

Replied last September 07, 2021As I have stated in a few previous replies, it is unfortunate that this reviewer posted anonymously and it is very unfortunate that review sites such as Avvo and Google allow people to make anonymous posts for two reasons. First, it makes it very difficult for a business owner or professional to evaluate the review and make any adjustments or corrections to processes that may have led to a dissatisfied customer or client. Second, it de-legitimizes the review process by allowing anyone to post a negative review whether or not the person was an actual client or customer. I suppose I should find some solace in my own personal knowledge that this person is not a legitimate client and I know this for several reasons. One of which is that the reviewer makes almost every possible negative comment from alleging my credentials are false, which they are not and can be fully substantiated, to alleging delays, staff turnover, and an innuendo of impropriety and feeling "very uncomfortable around him". Interestingly on that last comment, since March 2020, I have had only two or three in-person meetings with clients and they were all with male clients and court proceedings have been virtual for the most part with only Will County recently going to in-person. Another reason is that I am confident this is actually the ex-boyfriend of a longtime client again posting false reviews as it is ironic how as soon as that case goes back to court, the negative reviews start to appear with the same over the top statements. Even more incredible is that he makes the same arguments in court that he makes in his review posts, which makes it all the more identifiable. The one thing this alleged reviewer states that is true is you should do your homework when retaining an attorney. In doing so, you should make reasonable assessments about reviews, especially those that come from anonymous posters. If the allegations were true, wouldn't the review have more impact by not being anonymous? Every review site I have experience will allow you to use a first name and last initial. But then that would give someone an additional piece of information to confirm the legitimacy of the poster. Thank you for taking the time to read to the end.

Excellent law firm... you want these guys in your side
I had an ongoing case which would give the ultimate challenge to Dion Davi and his firm. He embraced the it anxiously with open arms. Hiring an attorney for a divorce isn't an easy decision. I needed to replace my attorney very late in my case. When meeting with him I knew he was the right choice for...

Straight talk
I had very candid conversations with Dion during my divorce, and I always found him to be equally candid back with me. He handled the legal proceedings professionally, and with timeliness. There was a hiccup at the end, that costs him a star on the rating, but I'm not sure he really knew what I wan...
