About David
David Gonet practices family law in the suburbs north of Chicago. He blends courtroom experience with file-by-file attention. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic; clients often note his clear explanations.
He began his academic path at DePaul University, where he completed a Bachelor of Business Administration in 2005. He then earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Houston in 2009. Those years framed his legal training and gave him a mix of business and law perspectives he later applied to family law matters.
Gonet is admitted to practice in Illinois. He maintains current professional association memberships that keep him connected to developments in family law and local practice rules. Early in his career he handled a range of civil matters that included negotiation and courtroom proceedings. Over time he narrowed his practice toward issues that affect families—divorce, custody, support and parenting-time arrangements.
His work is split between an office in Hoffman Estates and his practice at DPG Family Law. In both settings he handles contested and uncontested matters, prepares court filings, and represents clients at hearings. He is comfortable in court and in settlement conferences. He often counsels clients on practical concerns such as division of assets, financial documentation and the day-to-day realities of co-parenting after divorce.
Gonet approaches each file with attention to procedure. He reviews pleadings carefully and aims to keep clients informed about deadlines and options. He prefers clear timelines and straightforward explanations. That approach helps clients understand trade-offs, whether the goal is a negotiated resolution or a trial.
Outside the courtroom he has spent time on case management systems and client communication practices that reduce confusion and speed routine tasks. His business background informs how he evaluates financial disclosures and asset division proposals. He tends to emphasize organization and preparation during discovery and settlement talks.
He maintains an office in Hoffman Estates and practices under the name DPG Family Law. He continues to represent individuals in divorce, child custody, support and related family law matters and currently focuses his practice on family law at DPG Family Law in Hoffman Estates.
