Arrogant, Disorganized, Lazy

Horrible Lawyer! Won’t return phone calls, emails or texts. Office staff won’t take or give him messages. He told us point blank his receptionist screens emails & messages and he only responds to the “important” ones. As well as he only responds to texts if it’s in the correct format?!?! We late...r found out that meant “less than 6 words”. We retained him a year and a half ago and not one single thing has been accomplished!! However; his bill always seems to be mailed on time. Worthless lawyer! Don’t waste your time or money on this guy.

David is EXCELLENT.

David is EXCELLENT. He is a great person, Father, and cares about your personal situation. He genuinely cares for my children and family. I fully trust David and will always be my go to attorney. His office staff are really nice and helpful as well.

Dave and his Staff-----honest and hard working!

Dave is great lawyer. We are not through our modification of child support, but so far, he has been honest and thorough. I feel confident that we will see results. Dave's staff....the least I can say is that they are on it! They have processed our requests in a timely fashion. The staff are dire...ct and straight forward. There is never any guesswork involved when we contact them. Dave is by the book. In fact, while we were with him, he plugged numbers into the new child support calculator and is fighting for those calculations to be ordered in court. He tried saving us money by trying to negotiate with opposing counsel outside of court. Would highly recommend Dave and his staff to anyone looking at child modification according to the new guidelines set in Illinois.

Custody Case

I hired Dave for my custody case. He has been thorough and caring throughout the entire process. Even when I nervously text or call him he always responds. The ladies at his office are gems also. I would hire Dave again and again. This has been a long road but i'm glad Dave is here to help me get thr...ough it. He genuinely cares about his clients.

A Huge waste of money

We hired him expecting complete our child custody case in a time fashion, but he delayed the trial with stacks of paperwork to the opposing side so he could keep billing us for thousands of dollars. He doesn't have any good interest other then making money for himself and that's it once he has done t...hat he drop your case and take his own clients to court to collect his money.

Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 30

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"As a former prosecutor I have watched nearly every attorney that practices in Madison County in action. Mr. Fahrenkamp is the most persuasive and effective trial lawyer I have seen. My first jury trial was against Mr. Fahrenkamp and the jury returned a "not guilty" verdict in less than 10 minutes. He is an exceptional lawyer and I strongly recommend him."
