The worst Attorney

Do not hire him. He’s full of lies and I think he’s losing it mentally. He says one thing and forgets what he told me. Telling me where did I get that info, from you. He’s a lazy attorney. He doesn’t communicate well at all. Tells you he’s going to do this and that, then I don’t hear from him in mont...hs. He talks about having all this experience. Where? I talked to another attorney and all the information I got was totally different from his. It was the best decision I ever made, because not only did this attorney help me get my settlement, but he also direct me to the right resources.

Great Workers Comp Lawyer

Dave really helped me during my Workers Comp injury! He always kept me updated when thing arose during my case. He always answered my phone calls, and if he didn’t he called me back almost right away. He is a fast talking individual, I assume he’s a busy person like most lawyers. I was granted the se...ttlement I deserved in the end. Dealing with a work injury can be stressful, if you’re looking for a Workers Comp lawyer I recommend you hire him and his team to fight for your rights of what’s owed to you during the process.

Excellent Attorney

Dave worked hard to ensure I was kept informed and worked hard to get my employer to settle after an injury I sustained. He was a “no nonsense” hard working attorney. And I’m not sure what the other reviews are about? I’d hire him again!

AVOID HIM AT ALL COST!!! ARROGANT, LAZY, PRETENTIOUS, DOESN'T KEEP YOU INFORMED

Dave menchetti finds a way to make it seem like he knows hes nothing but in reality he talks over you, gives you an attitude and make it seems like he's done everything he could when in reality he's done nothing but work with the other lawyers to make sure he's taken care of. he does not keep you inf...ormed about your case I had to call in multiple times for info and i got no answers from him. I went 4 months without hearing from him I've gotten more information from my doctors than I did from him. he doesn't call you instead he sends you a letter through the mail. he refuses to meet with me on multiple occasions I never meet him. did not fight for me to get paid from workers comp, he did not fight for me to get treatment, now if I go to another lawyer he still gets paid for doing nothing. He is a sorry limitation of the lawyer and I wouldn't recommend him to my enemies. if I could sue him I will. years have gone by and he's done nothing for me

"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. David is an exceptional attorney, concentrating in Illinois Workers' Compensation law. He is one of, if not the most active attorneys personally working to ensure that the Act remains viable and provides benefits to injured workers as it was intended to do. You will not find a more competent and knowledgeable attorney practicing before the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission."

  • 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.
