Good lawyer good man.

I have had Dave represent me twice. The first time he did a great job. We are in the middle of a child custody case. He genuinely cares about the well being of my child. It is taking a while but understand these things don't happen overnight. Dave is a very busy lawyer. His staff is great. I trust hi...m greatly. I have seen this man outside the office. He genuinely cares about other people. I've read other reviews. Some people say arrogance. I say confidence.

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.

Posted by ROBERT | July 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

EXCELLENT REPRESENTATION!

I came to David in a great time of need. He was able to clearly and thoroughly identify the issues in my divorce case. He was focused on my case; he was diligent in responding to my (now looking back) incessant phone calls and numerous text messages - and gave me the piece of mind, importantly, th...e results i desired. He treated me not just as another case, but treated me with respect and with dignity. He provided me a good roadmap moving forward for what to do with myself financially and with my property, post-divorce, in my future engagements. In court, he is a fierce advocate and the Judge, as well as the people in the courtroom seemed to really give him a lot of respect. I highly recommend David!

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."
