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.

Excellence in Service

It's so rare in today's society that you experience excellence in service. Not so with Kenneth Cahill. Kenneth was responsive, attentive, and extremely personable. I could contact him anytime of the week or day and he would get back with me almost immediately. To my surprise and thanks to M...r.Cahill, the divorce process was not as painful as I thought it would be. Ken offered guidance, was empathetic and looked out for my needs! I have great respect for and confidence in Ken's legal skills and would highly recommend him.

Game Changer

Kenny is a terrific attorney, I hired him from 03-14-14 to 03-03-15. No nonsense, very professional, well respected in the community. He always made himself available by phone or text message, which was very important to me. When I hired Mr. Cahill, I was 6 months into a custody dispute, had recen...tly lost any/all visitation privelages, and was facing a show cause hearing/contempt hearing by an out of control GAL and Court system. Step by step Kenny reversed these things as quickly as possible, and exactly 12 months later the case was closed and I had full visitation according to the Local Rule guidelines. Once I retained with Mr. Cahill, all the BS, lying, cheating, etc that was going on came to an ubrupt hault. I did everything he said to do, and we won what was practical for me.

I trust him with my life

Ken has gone to battle for me over very difficult situations. He was always available for me by phone or text , email . Never did I feel like a burden and after a year of court we did win the case . With Ken's knowledge and guidance I never felt unprepared . I was able to walk in court every time con...fident and ready . I always tell myself I'll never marry again , but if I do and need an attorney he is the only I will ever trust and rely on . I recommend him to anyone .
