Mr. Florey helped a good friend of mine win a very complex, multi-year case, and secured custody of his kids. Based on everything I heard about his communication and billing, he appears to be one of the most ethical attorneys in the profession.

Genuinely the worst. He quit without telling me. He’s only after money. Single mothers beware‼️
The Law Firm of Dan Florey delivered an incredible outcome in a very difficult parenting time case. The legal process was overwhelming and at times felt completely predetermined before we were even properly heard. Dan gave me a powerful voice, made sure our side was fully understood by the court, and proved to be a phenomenal advocate. Thanks to his dedication, he secured a fair and equitable outcome for my family. You cannot navigate a tough custody battle without a skilled lawyer, and Dan Florey is the best. If you want an attorney who will ensure your voice is heard, hire him.

I couldn’t have made a better choice than Dan as my attorney. He represented me through a very difficult divorce and serious criminal charges, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner.
Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and confident throughout the process. His experience and understanding of the law helped him get the criminal charges against me thrown out. During my divorce, he fought hard for me and negotiated very fair terms, including joint custody of my child, which meant everything to me.
I’m incredibly grateful for everything Dan did for me and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who is experienced, dedicated, and truly has their clients’ best interests at heart.

Thank you for your 5-star review, Gabriel! It was my privilege to stand by your side, help you resolve the domestic battery charge in the Bridgeview courthouse, and secure a fair outcome in your divorce.
While The Law Firm of Dan Florey built its reputation in both divorce law and criminal defense, my practice is now based in Chicago in West Greektown, where I am focusing primarily on criminal defense. Whether advocating at 26th & Cal (the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building) or handling cases in Bridgeview or Markham and surrounding Cook County courts, protecting my clients' rights, freedom, and future remains my top priority. If you or anyone you know ever needs an aggressive criminal defense attorney at 26th Street, in Bridgeview, in Markham or anywhere in Cook County, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks again for your trust and recommendation!

I highly recommend Dan Florey and would not hesitate to use him again in the future. I originally used him years ago when I needed help with a matter involving my daughter, and I was very pleased with my experience at that time. So, when I recently found myself needing representation, he was the first person I thought of.
From the beginning, he was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He took the time to really listen to me, understand my concerns, and explain my options. I never felt like I was just another case or that my questions were a bother. He was patient, professional, and made me feel confident that my situation was being handled properly.
Going through any legal matter can be stressful and overwhelming, but having an attorney who listens, communicates, and genuinely takes your concerns seriously makes a big difference. He was able to handle my traffic violation and ultimately get me the outcome I needed, which I truly appreciate.
After having positive experiences with him on two different occasions over the years, I can honestly say that I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and truly cares about his clients. I’m very grateful for his help and would definitely turn to him again if I ever need legal representation.

Thank you for taking the time to post such a thoughtful 5-star review! It has been an honor to assist you and your family over the years, and I truly appreciate your continued trust in me to handle both your daughter's legal matter and your recent case.
While The Law Firm of Dan Florey built its foundation in family law and criminal defense, my practice is now based in Chicago in West Greektown, where I focus primarily on criminal defense for felonies and misdemeanors. Whether protecting clients' rights at 26th & Cal in the Leighton Criminal Court Building, fighting charges in Bridgeview, or Markham and in surrounding Cook County courts, delivering personalized, dedicated advocacy remains my highest priority.
If you or anyone you know ever needs a skilled criminal defense attorney in West Greektown or anywhere across the Chicago area, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your loyalty and kind recommendation!

Dan went above and beyond to help me win my case and secure 50/50 custody. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my situation.

Dan has been the best attorney for me. He welcomed me into his life, and work extremely hard on my case. He saw more in me than what the case was about and went the extra mile to help me get full custody of my kids! He answered questions throughly and did whatever it takes to win the case! I can’t thank you enough Dan!
Response from the owner · Edited 9 months ago
Dear Tamara, thank you for your kind words and for trusting me as your lawyer during such a big moment in your life. Defeating the Order of Protection and winning full sole custody of your children from the father was a hard-fought victory, but it was one you truly deserved. It was an honor to be your attorney and advocate for you and your kids to ensure a stable future and a fair child support order. Seeing you move forward with peace of mind is the greatest reward for the work we do. I wish you and your family the very best!

Dan was my divorce lawyer . He was very professional and pleasant. He’s very knowledgeable and he understood my situation very well. He always kept me up to date without driving the bill . After 1.5 years we were able to come to a resolution thru Dan’s efforts that were in my best interest. His fees were very fair . I would absolutely recommend Dan and wouldn’t hesitate to use him in the future if a situation requires his services . His paralegal, Marcy is just A+ . She is very knowledgeable and very kind . I was very satisfied with Dan’s firm .
