About David
Biography
I have been a licensed attorney in the State of Illinois since 2003. I began my legal career as a an Assistant State's Attorney in the County of Kendall, State of Illinois. In 2006, I opened my private practice and have successfully represented hundreds of clients in matters ranging from divorce and family law issues to criminal defense.
I have a unique perspective in criminal defense from my experience as a former Assistant States Attorney. I have a strong background in litigating both family law and criminal matters. I believe that in order to successfully represent client's in criminal and family law matters one must know what the available options are, have a very thorough knowledge of the applicable law and be thoroughly prepared.

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...

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...

I have known David long enough to assure that he is not only first-class in terms of his work ethics and diligence but his natural intellectual curiosity strives him to be an outstanding attorney year after year. It has been my utmost privilege to have known David as my intern, my lawyer colleague and my friend."
"I endorse this lawyer."

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known David for several years and have great confidence in his legal abilities. He is always well prepared and highly respected by his fellow lawyers. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and works in their best interests. I have and will continue to refer clients to him because I know they will be in good hands."
"I endorse David Lee. He listens to his clients, and explains what is going on with their case and what to expect in a way non-lawyers can understand. He has a lot of courtrooom experience and fights for his clients. He is also well respected in the legal community, and has a great reputation. I highly recommend David."
"I feel the utmost confidence in referring my clients to David for criminal and divorce work. He is extremely talented and driven to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. His background as a state's attorney gives him unique insight into the criminal process from both a prosecutor's as well as a defendant's perspective. I would never refer my clients anywhere else."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is an excellent attorney who is willing to fight for his clients. He has a deep understanding of Family Law. I highly recommend David Lee."
"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."
"I have known David on a personal and professional level for over 10 years. David is very well respected in the legal community. He is very conscientious and hard-working. He is honest and down to earth. He is extremely professional and always striving to do his best for his clients. I am honored to call David a friend and colleague."
"David is truly a rising star in the west suburban legal community and I'm very proud to call him my friend and colleague. David's friendly, compassionate and engaging personality makes him the perfect choice for anyone facing a difficult criminal prosecution or needing effective representation in a divorce case. He understands these type of cases can be very stressful for clients and he takes the time to thoroughly analyze their situation and then expertly guides them through the legal process to a successful conclusion. Whenever I refer a client to David, I know he or she will receive the best representation available at a very fair price. David is a tireless advocate, a trusted adviser, a highly skilled litigator and a great resource for both his clients and colleagues. I highly endorse Attorney David Lee."
"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."
"I met David when he was an assistant State's attorney in Kendall County and I was a new defense attorney. He was professional and courteous even though we were on opposite sides. When he went into private practice, we became friends. I respect his knowledge of the law and how he conducts himself. I would and have referred clients to him."
