Review №1

I was represented by an incompetent attorney from DuPage County in my Kane County divorce and in danger of losing my visitation for no reason but my Whearon Attorneys incompetence. After firing DuPage attorney, I asked around and found that in Kane County Doug is a tireless Champion for both mothers and fathers rights. I hired him, and Doug worked tirelessly for me to keep my visitation and phone privileges. Because of Doug Warlicks excellent service I was able to get back my time with my son, which my ex wife and her attorneys with their spite, fury and battalions of lies, tried to strip me of. Thanks Doug!

5-Stars ALL the way!You won’t go wrong speaking or hiring Doug Warlick and Associates – honest, efficient, human, credible, and results driven. Hire for a successful outcome and NOT the wallet because the ladder will cost you more in the long run.Doug Warlick and Associates did a terrific job representing my divorce case and I couldn’t be happier with the attention and the outcome of my case. I am sure I was small potatoes vs. other clients Doug manages, but I still received great council and personalized attention throughout the process. My ex was difficult to work with and there were many times Doug had to talk me off the ledge – offering a human touch through a gut wrenching process. He spent a lot of his own personal time drafting documents to make sure they thoroughly represented my best interests and always kept me informed. Moreover, as a seasoned lawyer, Doug was able leverage his experience that resulted in an outcome that is very difficult to achieve a state like Illinois. I encourage you to speak to Doug if you are looking for council… You cannot go wrong in speaking with Doug at minimum or hiring him to represent you.Nice work Doug!

I highly recommend Doug Warlick for anyone looking for a family law matter. He treated me professionally and was very knowledgeable regarding the parenting plan and the marital settlement. Doug came as a referral for me and I was not disappointed. He has been available for for questions after the fact and has responded quickly. Thanks for all your help Doug!

Doug Warlick is the BEST attorney in the tri cities area. Hes efficient, positive and works diligently in getting done what needs to be done. He will also work with you on finances. Ive worked with other attorneys, and in my honest opinion, Ive never worked with someone as efficient as he is. Hes personable, down to earth, but yet the most professional. If I could give more stars to Doug, I would. Thank you Doug, for ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!!!

Doug and his associates were not my first attorneys but wish I had found them first. He was professional and compassionate for my situation. They were able to get things moving along and within six months completed my divorce, custody and relocation. This firm was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Made a difficult time little more easy knowing I had them.Always had someone in court representing me. Doug and firm kept me in the loop with emails and court summons as I no longer lived in Illinois. I have read some comments about money. Well people you get what you pay for. Remember I said had previous attorney, well he was cheap flat fee and did nothing and when ex husband started contesting stated he no longer could represent me. Doug was extraordinary, I called him and was able to see him same day. Next day all was filed in court since first attorney did not do that. Doug will work with clients in regards to payments. For my case even forgave the interest that had piled up. Communication is everything. Remember he has done his part and just because it is over or some did not like the outcome he is still entitled to his wages.Not always are the attorneys at fault for how long it takes. My case my ex kept asking for continuances and went thru 3 attorneys which gave each of them an additional 30 days each to get caught up. I believe it would have been done in 3 months if my ex did not keep firing his attorneys. Because of this, Doug was able to go after my ex for some of the fees.I would recommend Doug Warlick and associates to anyone. Thank you for everything your firm did for myself and my daughter.

I would highly recommend Doug Warlick to any of my friends or family members. He was referred to me and I have no regrets. He does not sugarcoat anything. Doug was honest and told me like it is. If i had any questions or concern, he was right there when I needed him.Thank you Doug.

Mr. Warlicks knowledge and experience compels me to write this review as a testimony to his legal expertise, dedication, and integrity.He actively participates in numerous bar associations and has written legal articles about complex legal issues. The cases that he handles often involve unprecedented legal issues, which paves the way for new legislation.Mr. Warlick is dedicated to each and every file that he handles. He ensures that his clients receive the utmost attention to detail and vigorously advocates for each client.His integrity is unsurpassed by any other attorney. Even when it does not benefit him or his client, Mr. Warlick takes his duties as an officer of the court seriously. And when he has no obligation to be honest, he persists in honesty nonetheless to ensure that anyone dealing with him knows that he will always be truthful and fair.I highly recommend anyone with a family law matter to hire Douglas Warlick. You will not be disappointed.

When I met Doug, I was in a very bad place with my case. He was calm, and listened to my plight with interest and understanding. When I retained him, I had no idea how amazing he would be for my case.I had already been told he was The Best by many other colleagues, and another attorney from Chicago that I met through a friend. He has since proven that above and beyond. Doug is diligent, and thorough, he looks at every angle, and has knowledge of the patience needed for these cases. With that knowledge, he helped me to remain calm, and stay strong. Without going into the devastating details of my case, I will say this... I am a domestic violence victim/survivor, trying to keep my young son safe. Doug has done everything in his power to ensure his safety and to fight for my rights. He genuinely cares about his clients. He invests himself into the cases he works on, and does everything he can to succeed for them. Doug is not just an attorney out for the payments we make, he is a fighter for justice. Simply put, I admire him. He is a family man, he is a father, and he is a confidant. He adores his beautiful wife, and he has integrity. I hope my son can have even a small portion of his qualities when he gets older. If he does, I will know I have done my job right. I will write another review when my case concludes to follow up on the amazing services received by a man with a great reputation. Every attorney I have met, says wonderful things about him. He is well respected, and after seeing all he has done for me, I see why.

I am a single mother who was seeking custody of my child, I retained his firm to help me in the matter and it took 18 months and over $8000 to get nowhere in what I was promised by Mr. Warlick would take a month or two and be covered under the retainer of $2500 to complete.I am now losing the custody battle I spent years working on and winning on my own because of this mans stupidity. He never showed for any of the court appearances, I saw him a total of one time on my initial meeting, he sent in Otto, his assistant (an absolute train wreck who looked as if he had just rolled out of bed, hadnt showered in days and never had a clue as to what case he was showing up for!) who proceeded to sit on multiple files and cases, according to Warlick, before walking out.I was never given notice as to what was going on in my case, I was charged obscene amounts of money for work that was never completed and/or even done. He removed these charges after I complained that nothing was getting done and that there should not have been charges. He then lied to the courts in an attempt to get more money from me saying that I never contested the charges made even though there were multiple complaints made in both verbal conversations as well as VIA email.DO NOT HIRE THIS IDIOT!! He will take you for everything youre worth, he will lie to you, he will ruin your case and most likely lose the case all together.He is unprofessional and a liar. I dont know how he passed the bar and I dont know how he retains his license to practice law in any state.

Although i dont typically take time to write a review for business, I was shocked to see a negative review of Mr. Warlick. On the contrary, my experience with Mr Warlick and his office was completely positive.It is not easy to litigate your personal troubles, but that is the nature of a family case. Mr. Warlick was compassionate and professional. He truly cared about me and he worked arduously to help me.I will always be grateful for everything he did for me and I highly recommend his services.

When my Son asked to come live with me NO ONE gave this out of state Dad a chance to win custody. Doug even rightly warned me that the odds of success were low. When we agreed on the plan and I paid him the retainer he went to work. One year later my son came to live with me. This after we won hands down. Doug worked everything he could to our advantage, while my exs attorney (who costs more) went about checking boxes to prove he earned his fee. At the end, the retainer had a balance and he sent it to me within a week. I tore up the check and told him to keep it. Miracle workers deserve a bonus in my book. I cant guarantee any outcome you will have, but Doug is alright in my book.

I am so grateful that Douglas Warlick & Associates handled my difficult divorce. The process took two years to complete because opposing sides would not comply. I am not the type of person who constantly goes to court so I felt out of sorts but Doug was informative and professional. He always arrived to court prepared and ready to fight for me. He would keep me informed about our next step. He would thoroughly explain how the judge could provide different outcomes. During the trial, Doug was confident, precise, and aggressive. He covered every aspect of my divorce with supporting documents. He did not allow anything to get past him in the court room. I appreciate his warm and caring demeanor but make no mistake he will fight for you like a pit bull in court. He will not back down and will defend his client with fervency. He is dedicated to his client!!! I would highly recommend Douglas & Associates to anyone who is going through a nasty divorce and has issues with child custody, child support, maintenance, and retirement issues. Because Doug was so thorough, the judge granted the dissolution of marriage in my favor. Attorney Warlick took on my case pro bono, treated me with the upmost respect, and WON my case. I am forever grateful to him and his supporting staff.B. Jones

Doug helped through my divorce during 2008 and did an excellent job. More importantly, he gave a free advice this week (March 2018). His advice was spot on and will save me monies and headaches.

Review №16

Going through my divorce was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. It went on for seventeen months and for most of that period, I was in a fog in the reality of what was changing in my life as I had known it for the seventeen years of my marriage. Thinking back, I was all over the map on what I was supposed to do with one thing and fearing what my future was to hold for my son and I. I know I must have seemed like a lunatic at times just because I felt so beaten down by the whole divorce process. I could not have made it through without the constant reassuring that Doug and his associate, Otto gave me. They always took the time in a very calm voice to explain processes that needed to take place or terms that were confusing for me to understand because I wasnt an attorney. If I called their office and left a message, I always received a return phone call in a very timely manner. I always felt that I was an important client to them and not just a paycheck. Their hard work payed off and I was very pleased with how they handled the whole process. I would highly recommend using Douglas B. Warlick & Associates if you are looking to achieve positive results if you are going through a divorce.

Poor preparation and Zero Execution. I find it hysterical to see the reviews on here from people that are with OVC Lawyer Marketing (Amanda I saw your other BS review on Yelp!). Do NOT believe those glowing reviews folks. Notice that they have absolutely NO details in their review. Corporate Shills hired to line Warlicks pockets. Didnt you get enough $$ from me Doug? Doug Warlick was absolutely useless in my divorce. He had no clue as to what was going on in court every time I met him there. He claimed to know the judge on a personal level but every time we went to court the judge ruled the opposite of what Doug was trying to do. He had no idea about the facts of my case when it was finally presented to the judge. And as soon as my funds were running low he asked the court to excuse him from being my attorney. He bills himself as having Experience with Integrity. Integrity?? We think not. I have never posted any reviews but Doug did such a terrible job that I felt responsible to warn others: Do NOT hire this guy as your lawyer.

I saw a video on You Tube and thought I would be calling a genuine, helpful guy. I have never felt so mistreated in a time of such vulnerability. I have no choice but to represent myself in court tomorrow and was simply looking for a little advice from someone whos familiar with the court in Kane County. Instead, he acted offended as if asking for a consultation was rude.I dont care how good this guy is in court. He needs to learn to treat people with respect.
