Harry Williams, Personal injury Attorney
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
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.
