Competent and thorough

I have a 16-year-old case and I have had three attorneys. Don is the best. He is competent and thorough. I rated my other attorney 3 stars and the other I didn't rate but I would give him 4, so I don't just give five starts. Don spent time on EVERYTHING and gave me all of the ins and outs of the cas...e. Nothing about this is enjoyable but Don is on your side and will tell you the truth about possible outcomes and he is priced reasonably (although I think the system should be improved). Thanks, Don.

The best of the best!

In my experience, going through legal issues and grief at the same time isn’t easy. However, Don made me feel reassured and made it known that he had my back the entire time. As a single mother, money is tight and don is reasonable with pricing. He understands and knows that everyone is going through... different situations and I really appreciated that during my time as his client. One thing that stood out to me most about Don is the way he educates his clients through the entirety of the case. I was always thoroughly explained the process of every thing that was going to happen each court date. Also, Don is reputable in the court room which is a huge plus. Today I have a huge weight lifted off my chest because Don was able to get the case closed with all my needs/wants. I was recommended to hire Don as my attorney and I would definitely recommend him to anyone else! 10/10 Attorney!

Excellent family law attorney

I was battling an interstate child support case for non payment with no results and decided to hire Don to represent me in the DuPage County court system. His expertise expedited a case that allowed a non compliant parent to slip through the cracks in our legal system for a decade. Don is extremely w...ell-versed and experienced in family law and I could not have chosen a better attorney to represent my children and myself. I can’t say enough how grateful we are for his lead and expertise in our case. I can tell you first hand he goes above and beyond to fight for his clients. Where the court child support system was failing us, he became our champion, our voice and we are forever grateful.

A top notch Attorney

I hired Mr. Pesce when my Ex-wife took me back to court to increase Child Support. He was very upfront and honest letting me know what to expect in certain areas of my case were we had a good argument and also where there was no need to argue. I respect his honesty and appreciate that he would always... return phone calls and emails before the end of the day. My only regret is I wish I would have hired Mr. Pesce to represent me from the beginning of my divorce. Mr.Pesce knows the laws and will fight for your best interests.

Divorce

Mr. Pesce was efficient and easy to work with. He listened to your situation and gave you the pros and cons of which way to go. He suggested in your benefit and was willing to go the extra length to get results. He communicated regularly. Overall, I would recommend Mr. Pesce. I would also recomm...end attending each court date even if they suggest you do not need to be there. It helps the process move along and get results, otherwise to many continuous court dates and Mr. Pesce was agreeable and made the flow instead of dragging out a divorce for no need. You are able to stand up for yourself with the judge after all the case is about you not continuous court dates.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
