Great Help

David was a great help, his services were excellent. I liked that he explained what the situation was and the possibilities as well as choices to deal with it. I follow his recommendation and all end results were as promised. His prices are affordable and we worked a payment plan which really helped ...me a lot. Overall, I highly recommend David for any situation.

5 Star Performance and Service

Exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend to anyone that is seraching for an attorney to represent them in a family matter to connect with David. David provided me with the best legal advice in a timely manner, to help resolve a difficult situaiton in a divorce case. David is extremely pro...fessional and timely with his communication with his clients. He is very proactive in getting answers or decisions, and very sympathetic to the needs of his client. Without a doubt, I will go back to David for any future legal issues that I might encounter.

Amazing Laywer You Can Trust Who Looks Out For Your Best Interest and Fights for You!!!!!!

I had an absolutely amazing experience when David Lee representing me. I am a health care professional and was pulled over in a construction zone accused of going 40 MPH over the speed limit that was a true mistake on my part as I was unaware speed needed to be reduced with just the presence of barri...cades. I was not happy with my past Lawyer that I have used for years so I did some research and found David Lee based upon reviews. I called him proceeding the citation I was given that is considered a Class A misdemeanor that could directly affect my profession. I have spoken to several Lawyers and have never met one that took the time to explain things, never cut me off once while speaking to him, even tried to make me feel better while talking to him, and spoke with my husband repeating the same thing to me the following week. He always returns calls immediately or by the end of the day. I had 3 minor traffic violations over 4 years and he was able to get my Class A Misdemeanor dropped to a petty offense, got me court supervision for 3 months with it not going on my record unless I got another ticket during my court supervision. He really cares about his clients and will fight to try to get you the best potential options. I still call and/or e-mail him now to get advice and answer questions that come up even though I’m currently not a paying customer and he always responses or takes the time to call me back. He is now and will be my Family Lawyer and I recommend him to anyone. He is not the typical Lawyer he is one that actually cares, truly loves what he does and is a genuine down to earth person.

Police Detective Sergeant with a kid in trouble

I have been in law enforcement for over 23yrs and have seen my share of defense attorneys and never thought I would need one. Well, a child of mine got into a situation and now I'm on the other side of the fence with her needing a lawyer. I searched and searched and wanted only the best for her, my... search ended when I located Mr. Lee. From just the initial phone call I knew I had found THE BEST! I know how the system works and he answered all our questions without hesitation or the usual fluff. After speaking with him my anxiety was gonnnnneeeee. Mr. Lee will not fail you nor will he sugar coat your case, you will get the best available outcome. Stop searching and call Mr. Lee so you too can be stress free about your situation. I would hire him again without any hesitation! Hopefully I won't have to.....

Do you know a good Lawyer? No... I know a GREAT Lawyer!

I contacted David Lee regarding the possibility of representation. From the start he was extremely personable and attentive. I found him to be easy to talk to. He has a way of putting his clients at ease even when discussing difficult matters and he took the time to walk me through the many possible... outcomes. David answers or returns phone calls in a timely manner. He takes the time to set clients at ease and his confidence and level of professionalism has a calming effect when you are working with him. In the courtroom the way he handled himself made me proud to have him as my lawyer. I had every confidence that he would do everything he could to help me. Should anyone ever ask me if I know a good lawyer? My answer would be, I know a GREAT lawyer. David Lee is dedicated to both his clients and his work, and choosing him as my representation was one of the best things I did to make it through a difficult situation.

"I endorse this lawyer. During my first experiences with David Lee, he was a prosecuting attorney. He was sharp, knowledgeable, and a zealous advocate for the People of the State of Illinois. He was also respectful to opposing attorneys, and thoughtful with his decisions. Now that David is a defense attorney, he has the advantage of using that keen insight and knowledge when representing his clients. David is always well prepared, insightful and enthusiastic in the representation of his clients. I highly recommend him."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I watched David successfully argue a motion to overturn a jury's verdict in a DUI case. When the judge granted his motion and found his client NOT GUILTY after a jury of 12 people found him guilty at trial, I almost fell out of my chair. The odds of winning this type of motion is probably one in a million. Simply put - it was good lawyering that saved that man a conviction. I also had David as opposing counsel in a very contentious divorce. He never backs down if he feels he is right, which really earned my respect."
