Consummate Professional

Mr. Kenneth Cahill is a true professional and didn’t hesitate to take my case on short notice. His experience, strategic approach, and outstanding communication ability were the deciding factors in my case. Mr. Cahill actually cared about my situation, kept me fully informed at all times and made m...e feel at ease from start to finish during a very stressful time. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Cahill to anyone with a complex child support case and all matters concerning family, divorce and separation law.

Not attentive, not responsive

At initial consult, Ken seemed to know the rules and players of Lake County family court very well. He was articulate and appeared studious in listening and trying to understand what was important to me. I hired him and paid a large retainer for what should have been a simple divorce. Over the cours...e of negotiating, I stuck with what was important relating to the custody and support of my children. Opposing counsel was extremely aggressive and Ken became less and less responsive. After he claimed he would be filing paperwork with the court leading up to what was to be a final decree, he did not reply for an extended period of time. When I arrived at court to sign the documents, I found that the documents that Ken had drafted had been replaced in whole by documents drafted by opposing counsel. I was given a brief time to review before the hearing and missed numerous material changes from what had been previously agreed to, reducing my rights and increasing my costs. Ken did a bad job on my case.

Would not call anyone else first

I have used kenny multiple times in the past 13 years. For visitation, shared parenting, child support, just to see my kid and a domestic case. I have been stressed over and over in the past and kenny never made me a promise, but went out and got it done everytime. I sleep good at night now knowing ...I have kenny a phone call away. Love him and anybody who sits across from me court, doesn't want to deal with him. That's gotta be good. He is here to help people, not get rich. He is aggresive, respectful and a professional, I am a better person today cause I have had the privilege of doing buisness with Kenny. I highly recommend him to anybody and if can't help you he will point you in right direction.
