Fantastic attorney!

David was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared in what was a very unique and out of the norm civil order of protection case. He accepted our case and although it was challenging, he gave an incredible amount of dedication and time to it and gave us fantastic trial prep. This, in my opinion, demonstr...ates how diverse his legal background is and how well versed in law he is. I recommend David to anyone in need because he will prioritize you as a client and fight as hard as he can on your behalf.

Amazing Attorney!!

David is the best attorney we could have asked for! We came to him with an unusual and challenging case for an Order of Protection. David saw we needed his help and he didn’t hesitate to step up to the challenge. He was extremely knowledgeable and took time to educate us and to guide us through trial... preparation. He will prioritize you and fight for you as hard as he possibly can. My family and I are finally at peace for the first time after years of feeling hopeless. I would highly recommend David to anyone seeking an attorney!

Mr. Lee helped me with a traffic issue. He is exactly the person that you want on your side in Kendall county. He is well known and respected by everyone in the courtroom. He was able to meet my needs quickly and professionally. The most important thing is his level of attention. If you call... him, he answers! I highly recommend David Lee

Very Knowledgeable and Persistent

From the start, David was an excellent communicator and I immediately knew he was passionate about his work. Whenever I had a question, he made time to talk and respond to my emails. He clearly explained my case and laid out what to expect. With his vast knowledge and experience not only as a defe...nse attorney but also a prosecutor, David developed a plan to resolve the case. Once his plan was in action, he was very persistent in his communication with the State's attorneys office. I was extremely satisfied with David's work and the final resolution.

My Attorney, Whom I Would Most Trust For Family and Friends

I write this with the hope that whoever reads it, and has need for an attorney, will find it compelling to the point that they contact Mr. Lee. My initial inquiry was based on the fact that he is a former Assistant State’s Attorney, believing that he would have an excellent command of the law. He abs...olutely does. And when Mr. Lee heard my story, the challenges my situation presented, he asked what I felt were thoughtful questions, and gave candid feedback that made me feel he truly understood and wanted to represent me because he believed he could make a difference, not just a buck. Mr. Lee’s professionalism is characterized by how well he listens, the insights he shares into “how things work”, and the respect he shows when emotional and financial drivers may impact how you view the legal process. On several occasions we disagreed, and Mr. Lee not only listened but expressed sympathy in his response, even though his experience and knowledge of the law was sometimes being challenged. I’m very grateful for that. You truly want someone like him in your corner. The way I look at the representation I have had from Mr. Lee is this: you have a choice to make, a choice that may determine financial, parenting, or other issues. The best thing you can do is align yourself with someone who has the experience, integrity, professional demeanor and relationships that will represent you best. I’ve seen how other attorneys respond to him, and he to them, and believe that his reputation has been built on how he has represented individuals like myself. It is with my deep appreciation of how he has worked on my behalf that I recommend Mr. David Lee.

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."
