Posted by Nina | September 10, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Awesom

Don Pesce was my attorney in my divorce case. He helped & advised me throughout the process with his down to earth attitude & amusing character. Don advised me to seek a mediator re: Child Custody Agreement before he was hired at my attorney. Not only did it resolve the issue, his recommendation sh...owed me that he was a practical & kind attorney that cared about his clients. I would certainly refer him to my friends

Divorce

I believe most married couples never plan to go thru a divorce but unfortunately many do. In my situation I can honestly say it would never happen to me. But it did. I found myself looking for appropriate legal representation....someone who was there to help me and not judge me. In my first consult w...ith Don, I found him to be very candid but also highly supportive. He laid out the basics of ILLINOIS divorce law and what I should expect. He explained every detail and helped me map out what the coming weeks/months would look like. Don was professional, highly knowledgeable and very responsive. You would have thought he was only working on my case. Albeit Divorces are no fun at all Don at least guided me and provided me with the confidence and support I so desperately needed. I would highly recommend Don and would use him again in the future without hesitation.

The best!!

Don was great from my first visit to the last court date. He made sure my visitation with my children was not interrupted and won't be in the future. Thanks again Don

spendy but worth it.

I spent far more than I ever expected to on a divorce(slow divorce-not his fault). BUT at the end of the day he managed to get an order for child support far exceeding anything I could have imagined getting. He's a fast thinker and gets things done on the spot. He's just full of information and seems... to really know what he's doing. I'd rather him on my side than be my opponent.

A TRUE BLESSING TO HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a tough time with child custody a few years back. Then I met Don Pesce. He was comforting, knowledgeable, and took the time to talk to me whenever I needed him. He ALWAYS kept me in the loop in regards to what was going on. When he left the firm I was working with, I dropped everything to fi...nd Don to assure that he was still able to work on my case, and sure enough, he continued my case and saw it through to to the end. He was the only person I trusted to help me out. He instilled that comfort and trust with me, and I knew he was going to work as hard as he could to allow me to keep my child safe and in the right environment. Thanks to Don, my son is happy, thriving, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our outcome. Thank you Don for EVERYTHING. Truly a blessing to have found you!!!!
