Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Lawyer

While nobody hopes to need a lawyer in their lifetime, my family and I are glad to call David H Weiss ours. We have been in family court in and out since 2014. I've had my share of sub par lawyers. I have reached a point where I have lost faith in the system that was originally designed to protect th...e victims of family domestic abuse. For years we have been praying for a great lawyer who will fight for us, and we found David! He is knowledgeable about the law and it shows in court. He is patient with questions and walks you through the plan. He gave us hope while preparing us for outcomes that may not be what we hoped for. One thing for sure: he fought for us. He is dependable and we are grateful for the work he has done for our family. You know you have great representation with David H Weiss on your side.

The Best in Chicagoland

I recently had the pleasure of working with David H. Weiss, and I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone seeking legal assistance. From the very first consultation, David demonstrated a deep, advanced understanding of the law and a genuine commitment to me as his client. David is incredibl...y knowledgeable and was able to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand. He was always available to answer questions and provided regular updates on the progress of my case, which was reassuring and kept me informed throughout the process. What sets David apart is his attention to detail and strategic thinking. He meticulously examined every aspect of my case and developed a comprehensive strategy that led to a favorable outcome. His professionalism and dedication were evident in every interaction. Beyond his legal expertise, he is compassionate and truly cares about his clients' well-being. He took the time to understand my concerns and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible result. I am grateful for David's hard work and would not hesitate to hire him again for any future legal needs. If you're looking for a skilled and reliable attorney, David H. Weiss is an excellent choice

Excellent attorney

David represented me for almost two years helping me through a difficult divorce. Throughout the process he also assisted me in winning a related DCFS case. He was extremely professional and did an excellent job helping me navigate the legal system. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone ...in need of a tenured JD.

Satisfied on all levels

David was very empathetic and listened to my concerns and needs while representing me throughout the duration of my family law case. I felt like he billed exactly as discussed before hiring him, was communicative, and also offered guidance and advice on areas where I was ignorant. 10/10 would rec...ommend

The enjoyment of divorce

David took my case after I was completely railroaded by the court system. After looking at my case he has filed motions to get my child support to a very reasonable amount. A1/3 of what the judge imputed on me! He has stood up for me in 3 motions from ex on bs claims of violating my orders. David h...as been my rock in this unbelievable situation my ex put me in! He is the most honest, knowledgeable, and patience person I have dealt with in the last 4 years of my divorce/ child. He has been able to actually reply to a question in a very timely manner! I have dealt with 7 what you call big time lawyers and David has been the best!! By a long shot! He will be the best chance you have when it comes to receiving what you want. Or close to it. I thank this man every night. Soon I will be able to see my boys again and for that I thank him!!
