Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Lawyer

While nobody hopes to need a lawyer in their lifetime, my family and I are glad to call David H Weiss ours. We have been in family court in and out since 2014. I've had my share of sub par lawyers. I have reached a point where I have lost faith in the system that was originally designed to protect th...e victims of family domestic abuse. For years we have been praying for a great lawyer who will fight for us, and we found David! He is knowledgeable about the law and it shows in court. He is patient with questions and walks you through the plan. He gave us hope while preparing us for outcomes that may not be what we hoped for. One thing for sure: he fought for us. He is dependable and we are grateful for the work he has done for our family. You know you have great representation with David H Weiss on your side.

Excellent attorney

David represented me for almost two years helping me through a difficult divorce. Throughout the process he also assisted me in winning a related DCFS case. He was extremely professional and did an excellent job helping me navigate the legal system. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone ...in need of a tenured JD.

Peace of mind

David was an amazing lawyer. I was on the defense in a protection order. The case was dismissed as the petitioner did not even bother to show up. The petitioner attempted to contact me multiple times either directly or indirectly. The attempted contact made me very nervous and unsure as what to do, D...avid remained calm and was there right away to give me advice on how to appropriately respond to the situation. I feel as though this couldn't have been accomplished without David's ability. He was on top of the case right away. He told me all possible outcomes, possibilities, my options and what he expects. It was as easy for him as a walk in the park. His quick response, professionalism, calm demeanor, and knowledge on those cases gave a huge peace of mind to my family and I from our first conversation with him from the first conversation. And in a time where stress and worry for the future is at an all time high, the value of that peace of mind could not be overstated.

Thorough and Professional.

Mr. Weiss has been my lawyer for five years. He has helped me with post-divorce, taxes, real estate, and my will. He has been very thorough and professional in all aspects of my legal needs. He has knowledge of the technology used today in the court system and was patient with assisting me through... the process. I appreciate his no-nonsense approach.

Highly Recommended David Weiss for Family Matters

David Weiss is an excellent attorney. He is a strong defender, attentive, caring, articulate and knowledgeable. His communication is fantastic and he responds quickly. David actually came to my rescue when I had only a day to find and secure a lawyer. I couldn't afford a lawyer but urgently needed to... be represented and defended in family court. He heard me out and like an angel, helped me and my daughter without hesitation. David genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to help you. I am eternally grateful to him. He is more than a great attorney is a very good person who clearly cares about equality, fair treatment, justice and family.
