About

I have been a licensed attorney since 1994, practicing in the areas of business law, estate planning and real estate. I am a 1986 graduate of Northwestern University, and obtained my law degree in 1994 from the DePaul University College of Law. I have served on the boards of local not-for-profit corporations, was the treasurer of the Woodstock Morning Rotary Club (2005-2007), President of the Woodstock Morning Rotary Club (2008-2009) and was the co-chair of the Chicago Bar Association Young Lawyers Section Corporate Law Committee (2002). I live in Hebron with my wife Joanne and many critters -- horses, dogs, cats, chickens and ducks.I believe that it is critical to communicate clearly with my clients. That means that I strive to return phone calls the same day, and communicate with clients using whatever method they prefer. I interact with some of my clients almost exclusively via email. Others prefer phone calls and letters. All of my clients have my cell phone number. Whatever the method of communication, I find that my clients appreciate the fact that I keep them informed of the status of their matters.

David was my real estate lawyer. He was there for me every step of the way. He consistently worked to ensure that my best interest was considered. He communicated clearly and frequently. If it were not for his hard work and diligence, my home closing had all the potential of being unsuccessful as many issues came up along the way. Thank you, David!

David is extremely knowledgeable and willing to work through difficult situations. I greatly appreciated his expertise and willingness to work with me. He was able to assist me with placing my condo in a trust, he is knowledgeable in the short sale process, and treats you with respect throughout the entire process. He was very timely in his responses and kept me well informed along the way. I would highly recommend working with David. He is a true professional!

David helped us with a CRAZY short sale. We would have lost if it weren't for him. Our agent did not do well and she almost cost the sale of our home. He swooped in and nailed it! Helped us through the entire thing. He spent HOURS with me; on the phone, in person and email. He went ABOVE and BEYOND what I expected! He is truly amazing, very honest and trustworthy! I have already recommended him multiple times and my sister just closed with him today. I assure you, you use David and you will have a pleasant transaction!!!

Due to circumstances my wife & I needed to find a lawyer that could not only update our Wills, our Health Care & Property Power of Attorneys, but someone we could also trust to act as an Executor & Agent. As a result of extensive Due Diligence, we schedule a meeting with David Wolf to discuss our specific needs. He was a "done-to-earth professional. He never talked down to us. He was through and answered our questions and discussed options we might like to consider. One of those options, as we have no children, was how do we make sure our cats (our kids) were taken care of. The net result is David wrote our new Wills and Power of Attorneys to meet our wishes, and he is named as an Executor and. Agent after both of our deaths. After talking with a number of law firms as part of our Due Diligence process, we found his fees to be more then reasonable. If you have questions or concerns about Estate Planning, Wills or Healthcare or Property Powers of Attorney, & you are looking for a lawyer YOU CAN TRUST, I would make an appointment to chat. That part is free.

Upon my mother's death, I became the Successor Trustee of her Trust. When I ran into some problems administering this trust, I looked up estate attorneys on Avvo. I chose David to consult with because of the his excellent reviews and very high ratings. I was so impressed with his professionalism, his knowledge and experience in this field, his attention to detail, and probably most importantly to me, his ability to clearly explain how the problems could be taken care of. I felt such a load off my shoulders when I hired David. He worked diligently to get the problem solved and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciated the fact that communicating with David was so easy and his responses were so prompt. He stayed on top of things right down to the end. I wish everything in life would be as worry-free as when David was handling the situation.

We chose David to be our real estate lawyer based on his other stellar reviews, and he didn't disappoint! He is personable, intelligent, and knows his stuff. He explained everything to us clearly throughout the home-buying process, and made us feel very comfortable as first-time buyers. We would definitely work with him again and highly recommend him as a lawyer!

My husband and I were recommended to David by our real estate agent and could not have been happier. Purchasing a short sale can be very trying but David was very knowledgeable and diligent in helping us to close the deal. His professionalism and expertise had shown right from the beginning. Since this was our first time purchasing a short sale there were a lot of unknowns to us. David was wonderful at making us feel comfortable and explaining things in ways we could better understand. I would absolutely recommend David and will definitely seek his services in the future.

We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He is a valued contact for us on many levels and we will continue to seek his counsel in the future.

My husband and I hired David several years ago to draft our wills. We were very happy with the service. David has good attention to detail and explains legal concepts (to our non-legal minds) clearly and patiently. Since then we have hired him to help us with some contract matters, and have always been pleased with his professionalism and clarity of his explanations. On top of his important professional qualities, David is also a nice and personable person who is easy to talk with. We are happy to have found our attorney - someone who can help us with legal matters for years to come.
