I would recommend David to anyone. He has been a pleasure do deal with during such a difficult time. He has given great advice and has proven to be honest and truly cares about what is in the best interest of his client.
David Frumm is a high energy attorney with pristine ethics, honesty and integrity. Not only was he enthusiastic and strong in my case, but he also encouraged me as a parent to look more closely at the challenges my child was having in school and socially. He appreciated my priority in parenting my child even through the rigors and difficulties of litigation. David Frumm exhibited the ability to balance his fierce presentation in the courtroom while personable in the office. He exhibits a thorough working knowledge of the law as well as appreciation of the stressors of custody litigation. I recommend David Frumm without hesitation.
David Frumm understands what was important to me and did not hesitate to set out to accomplish these things in my case . He also worked with my budget in getting my needs met . I'm very pleased with this legal firm . I highly recommend them as they were recommended to me by a family member . Great people . I'm glad he is in my corner .
The Frumm firm handled post decree matter for myself and my children. I was very please with David's understanding of the system and my concerns. I will use them for as long I have issues with my ex.
If I've heard one divorce horror story, I've heard them all. Today, in speaking with a long time customer of mine who I didn't even know she was separated; she told me of all the difficulties she has had in finding and hiring a quality Divorce Lawyer on the north shore of Chicago. I could just feel the exasperation in her voice as she described all the times she had to re- explain her story over the years. Lawyer after lawyer... Firm after Firm in a divorce and custody battle spanning almost 10 years. Hearing this I was immediately appreciative for the Firm that has represented me since day one. David Frumm has been my lawyer for only a third of that time, but never once have I considered using anyone else. I hired David on a recommendation myself and have personally thanked that person ever time I've seen them. David handled my divorce from start to finish: initial filing, property division, enforcement of the property division, separation of a trust, business evaluation and final settlement. What could be handled out of court David took it upon himself to make sure it was resolved out of court. What had to go to trial, was significantly more costly however favorable outcomes come at a price.
David is a kind, compassionate and fierce ally. He's committed to doing right by his clients, involved, engaged, kind and present. He's super smart and willing to go the extra mile. He thinks outside of the box, and believes in his heart that what is best for the kids is the best thing for the all concerned. Anyone who hires David from Frumm & Frumm is lucky to have them their side. I hired Frumm & Frumm in 2012 and since then most all divorce related issues are now behind me. I have received all appropriate support and maintenance now for 12 consecutive months which is 11 more months than when I didn't have David representing me. I am pleased to say while the money spent isn't fun, it sure is more than worth it.
David Frumm from the Law firm Frumm & Frumm has renewed my faith in the legal system here in Illinois. Beyond successful, his work was conscientious, efficient therefore cost effective, and timely. My divorce was a mess until I was finally found the confidence to let my first attorney go and hired the folks at Frumm & Frumm. I was concerned I would have had to re- explain the saga that's been my life these last many years, and that details would be missed. David Frumm on the other hand found advantage in the fresh look, streamlining the details into concise motions and simplifying the presentation of it all. I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for help; with child custody, division of trusts/ estates/ high value assets and ultimately, anyone looking for truth to prevail.
I've had representation spanning over 10 years for one Divorce related issue or another hailing from 3 of the top 5 Divorce and Family Law firms here in Chicago. All have multiple partners, and dozens of associates. To support them they have minions of paralegals building exhibits and articulating motions. My court case wasn't over the top as far as cases go but all the same the money I spent was considerable. In reviewing bills over the years, it always seemed like fees were generated almost as if there were a monthly billables quota regardless of dates or no dates on the docket. It wasn't until recently hiring David Frumm from Frumm & Frumm that I finally was able to attribute billed hours to specific results. Their billing is comprehensive, its timely, and very fair as far as phone calls- emails - and court time is concerned. I'm not saying by any stretch that these folks are "cheaper", I am on the other hand saying that with their small size comes efficiencies that have proven both cost effective, and productive at the same time.
The Law firm of Frumm and Frumm are responsible for completely turning the tables of my divorce case to my favor. My Ex for the duration of our early 20's marriage lacked any real motivation to be successful because his family owned an insurance agency and his very generous father still received substantial income from residuals. The original decree going back 3 years now had me paying him maintenance given his lack of employment and team of high priced lawyers. I thought the judge would have seen through the ridiculousness of it all back then, but no. When I was brought back into court for more money earlier this year, a well respected GAL introduced me to the Frumm Firm here in Chicago, and upon hiring them, things completely changed for the better. David Frumm in particular argued masterfully on my behalf and in the end I am forever free of that burden. Do I judge my lawyer by the results? yes, yes I do.
