Henry R. Kates

The Greater Providence YMCA has legal needs that range from complex land issues to quick reviews of contract clauses. In all cases, Henry Kates responds quickly breaking down the issue to a specific legal point that can be addressed and resolved. He is able to provide guidance in negotiating soluti...ons that are satisfactory to all. When we are not able to resolve a matter to our satisfaction, Henry clearly identifies the ramifications of any compromise necessary and helps us arrive at a decision. Henry is readily available for a quick phone call to answer a pressing question for immediate resolution. We have great confidence in Henry and have comfort that we can rely on his advice and expertise.

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.
