Douglas Drenk

Douglas Drenk is by far the most incompetent and abrasive person I have ever met. He refuses to provide clarification for clients and goes on rants about how they don't understand law and suggested the client "take some paralegal classes at college of dupage" rather than explaining as an attorney sho...uld. He is very big on both micro and macroaggressions and is an absolute cheat; trying to charge clients for the hours that they personally spent getting their paperwork together when he refused to do so. My friend almost went to prison in contempt of court, not because he did not provide the info, but because Doug never filed the information. When allowed a continuance he failed to show to court and is now refusing to send the legal file to the new lawyer claiming "there is no file" regardless of showing to court with the client multiple times and working with him for nearly 2 years. You'll save $ in the long run going to a lawyer who will get things done vs this man who will string you along for years accomplishing virtually nothing.

I can see where some personalities want an attorney that strokes their ego and tells them everything is going to work out and your going to get everything you want but I'm one who wants someone that's going to give it to me straight not get blindsided in court because my lawyer said everything would ...be ok. In the 19 years I've used his services he's represented me in lawsuits and won, custody disputes and won plus he's gotten quite a few of my friends out of trouble with various cases..... criminal, possession, divorce, visitation and more. For those reviews that made comments about his appearance in court I just have to laugh, have you ever went to court with him or seen him in court? Doug has been around those courtrooms so long he could show up in Pjs and bunny slippers and it would not matter everyone knows him and respects him. Maybe some of those new lawyers need to show up in stuffy suits but not that guy he's already earned his respect from everyone in those rooms.
