Henry R. Kates

Attorney Kates is a rarity. He combines a deep foundation of law and business with common sense, developing practical solutions for even the most complex problems. I have used Attorney Kates to both open and close businesses and for a myriad of transactions in between for my for-profit businesses a...nd as an adviser for several large, non-profits for which I volunteer. Attorney Kates's breath of experience and attention to detail set him apart, and he quickly becomes a trusted business partner. I recommend Attorney Kates without reservation for any organization, whether for-profit or non-profit.

It is with absolute pleasure that I provide you with my highest recommendation of Attorney Henry Kates. We hired Attorney Kates in 2003, and he has been our legal counsel and business advocate ever since the first introduction. Atty. Kates has extensive experience in representing the small busine...ss community, and as a former CEO of a business, he brings keen insight and outstanding commitment to solving issues. Henry knows that the legal system is the last place you would want to solve your problems, but if you need that option - as the last option - he is going to prepare you for winning. And we have done just that. We were challenged by clients that failed to own up to contracts, and Henry guided us down the best paths to resolve our differences. When employee issues popped up, and they always do, Henry was there to help us sort out how best to resolve the issues. If you need a business attorney that will look out for your every best interest, one that has vision, intelligence, and a commitment to success in a market with many choices for attorneys, Attorney Henry Kates should absolutely be your first - and last - call. In a word to describe Henry, we would confidently say, "excellence."
