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.

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!

If you want the best hire Dave Fahrenkamp.

Dave Fahrenkamp has represented me numerous times and has always had my best interest at heart I would recommend him to anyone I care about and want them to be represented by someone that knows the law and will wage war for them. He is a legal eagle and an amazing wordsmith. He has taken care of cu...stody issues and my divorce along with child support issues.

THE BEST IN MADISON COUNTY

Dave represented me in my divorce case. My case was very complicated and took a lot of time. Dave always returned my phone calls and was on top of my case at every moment. I have recommended Dave to several of my friends and they have nothing but high praises for him. He knows the law very thorou...ghly and it absolutely amazing in the court room. He is the BEST of the BEST!!!

Terrific Attorney

I hired Mr. Fahrenkamp to handle my custody case. I was very pleased with his knowledge and effective skills on helping me win custody of my children. At no point was I ever afraid the he was not working for the best interest of my children and myself. I could always reach him after hours on his cell... phone if need be and he would even answer my texts over the weekends. NO attorney has ever done that for me. He has a kind heart and he is a very trustworthy person and he fought for me. I would recommend him to anyone.

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."
