About Darrell

I grew up in Normal, Illinois and worked with my father's family farm in Carlock and Eureka, Illinois.  While teaching various law and business courses at local colleges, I entered private practice in Illinois in 2000. 

 

I have a lovely wife and two wonderful children.   I spend most of my spare time with my family, working on our 21 lot residential subdivision at Cobblestone Lake (www.visitcobblestonelake.com) and doing charitable work.

Review Darrell Dies

former business owner, Groveland, IL

Posted by

Darrell's professionalism in handling my business transition was apparent from our initial meeting. He was focused on my issue and provided valuable input on points I had not even considered. Darrell is a very likable man yet is frank, straightforward, and doesn't waste time (money). Simply put, he did everything he said he would. Darrell's fees were fair, spot on with upfront estimates, and well documented. I would highly recommend his services.

Job Well Done

Darrell and I met several years ago as a result of a family member's estate. Darrell guided us through the process and was prompt in helping us settle the estate. Since then, he has assisted our family with several real estate transactions and legal advice. Our family and myself highly recommend his expertise. Darrell provides top-notch service!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Any time I have a legal matter with Darrell on the other side, I know that he's going to work hard on behalf of his client and that he's going to be honest with me. It makes my job easier when I have an honest, hardworking lawyer to deal with.

Linscott Hanson, Limited liability company (LLC) Attorney on Mar 16, 2010
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Darrell and I met through the Illinois State Bar's great online discussion group for transactional attorneys. Subsequently we have met in person, exchanged advice by telephone and email, and he joined the Institute for Illinois Business Laws, bringing a wealth of experience in matters relating to Illinois' huge farming community. Darrell is a very capable, highly ethical attorney who is also a friendly, outgoing person, and fun to know. Although his is a fine lawyer, he is also a working farmer. He has strong family values. He lives his beliefs. I admire him greatly.
