I think I kept my last lawyer about two years too long, changing attorneys was the best decision I have ever made

David Frumm from the Law firm Frumm & Frumm has renewed my faith in the legal system here in Illinois. Beyond successful, his work was conscientious, efficient therefore cost effective, and timely. My divorce was a mess until I was finally found the confidence to let my first attorney go and hired t...he folks at Frumm & Frumm. I was concerned I would have had to re- explain the saga that's been my life these last many years, and that details would be missed. David Frumm on the other hand found advantage in the fresh look, streamlining the details into concise motions and simplifying the presentation of it all. I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for help; with child custody, division of trusts/ estates/ high value assets and ultimately, anyone looking for truth to prevail.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"David Frumm has all the noble and notable qualities of any family law practitioner. Diplomatic yet unrelenting; knowledgeable yet unpretentious: very aggressive, yet courteous. He fights for clients like no one I know. Whether he is fighting for custody for his clients or negotiating sophisticated financial disputes. He just gets the job done. I am proud to call him a fellow member of the legal community and a mentor as well. He is the perfect family law practitioner to bounce your strategy ideas off of. He tells you how it is, knows the law, and is an excellent reader of people. I have come to know David throughout the years; first observing him inside the courtroom, then getting to know him outside as well. He is a man of tact, compassion, and principle. Anyone that can run a half-marathon every Sunday, while working 24 hours-a-day (devoting his life to his clients), is someone that I admire. Great choice if you are looking for a lawyer that will be there for you."
