My ex-wife file for divorce and once I got David involved, the opposing attorney and ex's demeanor drastically changed. After David gained insight on my situation, how I earn income (I'm self-employed) and what my ex was asking me for, David was my voice and advocate to make sure I was not taken advantage of. My ex's requests (demands) were based on emotion and she wasn't budging until David came along. David worked through the legal system and made sure the settlement was based on facts and not emotion. When I wanted to give in, he asked me "for what? There is no legal basis for what they're asking for (paraphrased)". There's an awful lot of waiting as the due process takes place but it's for a reason. This gave my legal team some time to formulate a plan, and used time to our advantage. David and his paralegal Joni are top notch, very knowledgeable about the law and how to apply it to get my case settled. There were many phone calls and emails to me from their office outside of normal business hours, which I appreciated, so their dedication to their clients were beyond evident. David worked hard on my case and I can finally move forward in my new chapter of life. If you're interviewing attorneys deciding who to select, have at least a conversation with David, and you will immediately know that he absolutely has your best interest in mind. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for what he and his team have done for me, my future and for my dependent son. Thank you David! I'd give him 10 stars if I could.

Divorce is such a painful process on multiple levels. I wanted my divorce over as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there are levels of attorneys and 5 star reviews don't always correlate with competence. I chose one based on 5 star AVO reviews and was severely disappointed. My divorce dragged on years exacerbated by Covid. I was at my wits end when I was thankfully referred by word of mouth to David. After a 20 min ph call with David, I fired my last attorney and hired David. He is very intelligent, professional and straight to the point. David has a network and rapport with the "system" that can only exist because of a long and successful career. This network also greatly benefitted my case both financially and psychologically. My experience with divorce was ugly. It was not only a battle with my ex, it was a made worse because of her team of lawyers. Petty arguments and tactics designed to drain the estate of finances and wear you down emotionally. In such a situation, you want a shark on your side to cut through the opposition with efficiency. David was just that both strategically and in front of the judge. If only I had hired him first. I would have saved myself a lot of mental and financial energy. Do yourself a favor and call David. Trust me.

I hired Mr. Mann a couple years ago and he is truly the best divorce lawyer in the city of Chicago. He listened to all my concerns and questions and walked me through exactly what he was going to do. He is a stand up guy and doesn’t play around or waste people’s time. He is so very intelligent and thinks on his feet. He is the lawyer you would want to hire in your divorce!

David has a long established reputation of being a formidable client advocate within the local courts and his peers. He has nearly 30 years of experience that brings an unbelievable amount of tailored and specific focus on your individual case. He understands it’s an emotional situation and yet brings the focus on the salient facts quickly to avoid wasted time and effort. You avoid being lost within a large firm that can’t provide the same. He is passionate and he is vested in his cases and his clients. He is the best kept secret truly when it comes to divorce representation. Divorce is an unfortunate situation. I found myself in it and hired David and never had one regret that I did. You owe it to yourself to have an advocate such as David Mann!

Usually I’m not the person to leave reviews but I couldn’t help it for Mr. Man because I’m so much impressed by his knowledgeability and appreciative to his dedication. I had filed for divorce and my case was considered one of the hardest cases that could ever be. My battle was with an evil abuser person that left me in the middle of darkness until I heard about Mr. Man He gave me confidence and hope since our first meeting. He believed in my case, was on top of everything, and he spared no effort to let me win it. I was always relieved by his instant updates about everything related to my case. He also was fast responsive to all my questions even outside of our meetings, He was always positive and lifted my spirits up. My case could take much longer time without him but thanks to his professionalism I got it finalized successfully in about 3 months only. Actually, what I got was beyond my expectations. Mr. Man is the best divorce lawyer and I do recommend him from all my heart to everyone who’s going through divorce and looking for a lawyer.

I worked with 2 other Lawyers prior to being introduced to Dave Mann. I wish I had met him earlier ! His focus on the client is bar -none the best I have seen in any industry and am speaking as a former CEO of a Public Company and current CEO . I would highly recommend David Mann to anyone . He was in a word “Phenomenal “ . Thank you so much for all you did Dave , I will never forget it

I have a lot of money . Why ? I worked hard and was smart .David brought my anger under control and was concerned for my children , even when I wasn't . I wasn't thinking clearly and I thank GOD I had representation that was thinking about my family rather then the bottom line. I hired David S. Mann I spoke with David every day . In retrospect I should of hired a therapist but he let me know when my my emotions were in charge and reminded me it's about my children , regardless of how evil or vindictive I wanted to be . In closing I am divorced , I still have my millions , and I see my children every day . I publicly want to thank David S. Mann for taking the high road and moving forward toward the greater good . He is an Excellent lawyer . don,t be fooled by his lack of a downtown address an 11 out of 10 in my book not because of the money, but because of my boys ! You can always make more money !

I have been working with David for over 6 years and could not be happier. I worked with 3 other attorneys prior to David and felt like an estranged client with them. David takes a personal approach that feel like a true partnership. David knows that he is dealing with real lives on each case and that it is his duty to protect his client and seek fairness. David also works all hours, weekends, nights and constantly thinks about his cases. I have received calls, emails and texts on weekends and many nights because he has been thinking about different ways to solve differences and bring the case to a conclusion with a positive outcome. His main goal is to end litigation and stop the potential slow drain of all of the marital assets. David cares. Most attorneys take on too many cases, know very little about each case, won’t return after hours calls and try to convince their clients that there is always a good reason to go spend money in court. This is not good for the clients or their children. Additionally, they are indifferent on the outcome. David is the opposite on all points. David knows that his clients outcome is either his success or his failure as he cares. Probably one of David’s best qualities is his approach to partnering with his clients. Face it, who knows more about your case. You or your attorney? You do. Without partnering you are dropping off documents and leaving the interpretation and background to an uninvolved stranger. David knows that his client knows the facts, background and potentially many good ideas to help with strategies and approaches to get out of court and staying out of court. I have spent many hours reviewing documents and providing additional documents and suggestions so David can consume it and apply the legal approach. David also knows that the client knows the facts but not the legal. David knows the kegal and needs insights on the facts. The combination is powerful and helps the client feel safe. Speaking of the legal, David know that side better than any other attorney that I have worked with. In court, he is amazing. My only regret is that I had to go through 3 other attorneys before I found David. Other attorneys that were named “best attorney by their peers”. They can’t homd a candle to David. Save your time, money, heartache and get the best possible outcome. Work with David.

Like most people, my divorce was the first time I had any significant dealings with the legal profession, courts, judges, etc. I was stuck with a lawyer someone recommended to me who charged sky high hourly rates and just churned out paperwork to create billable hours and meanwhile my case got nowhere. Finally a mutual friend recommended I call David. The entire direction of my custody case changed immediately. Issues got resolved. Things moved forward. In the end, he not only brought my case to a speedy conclusion, in the end I had custody of my children as well. He listens, and has sound, practical advice. If you need an expert, efficient, family law practitioner I would personally highly recommend David Mann.

In all my years I have never had an attorney who cares about his client like David does. I have had 3 high priced lawyers from downtown Chicago that don't hold a candle to David. He was extremely helpful in taking the time to explain all of my options and what his plan was to end my nightmare. He did more than I could of asked for and 10 times more than the 3 expensive downtown lawyers. I have recommended him to 2 of my friends that have hired him and are completely satisfied and one of them has recommended him to someone else.

David Mann is an excellent divorce attorney who understands the system extremely well and is able to anticipate events before they happen. He saved me in my case and I trust him with all things. In my opinion it is critical to have him in your corner.

David was my attorney for my very very ugly divorce. I was losing everything. Including my kids....he grounded me and made me see what was most important. He read the opposing attorney like a book and the judge you could tell respected him. He’s the guy you want for your divorce. If it wasn’t for him, I would have never remarried the guy I hated so much. Yep, he bridges the gap and I remarried my ex/husband. Crazy I know but again it was David that “read” the situation. He’s brilliant and worth every dime. I also loved that he has a ton of kids and loves his wife unconditionally.
