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.

This guy is a liar and completely incompetent. Warning: do not use this guy he is a cheat and no good. He doesn’t ever show up, he’s always late and makes the most ridiculous excuses. He is not respected by his peers and not one judge thinks highly of him. He also takes personal calls all the time wh...en in conference with his clients and never gives his undivided attention as he should. This guy should not have a law license! Horrible attorney who never wins a case!!

I was a client of this attorney. He misses court dates and appearances and you are later asked to pay associated legal fees for that. He does not recall the important details of the case. He does not present the important evidence to the judge the other side will come prepared and judge will hear eve...rything on their side but not much of yours. He lacks etiquette in dealing with clients he does everything his way and refuses to hear client insute; repeatedly tells you you know nothing about the law. If you ask him to do anything with your case that he is not in agreement with he will threaten to withdraw at critical moments of the case. Overall, I felt I would have had a much better outcome had I self represented rather than have him represent me.

Mr. Drenk would like to pretend that he's your buddy to distract from the fact that he's incredibly unprepared. Mr. Drenk is also incredibly unprofessional. He missed court and didn't have the courtesy to call me, another day he showed up to court in jeans, and he made rude and unnecessary comments t...o my ex-wife and her lawyer. I had to apologize for his behavior, I was absolutely disgusted.
