Wonderful Attorney

Henry Kass took a very unfortunate personal situation of mine and guided me through it in a very timely manner. HIs expertise on divorce law was second to none, and he was able to get the best settlement possible for me. He was always available to answer any question I had, and I felt completely invo...lved in every step of the process. I really felt that he had my best interests at heart and was fully satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend Henry for any family legal matters.

Excellent Representation

I have known Henry for years and recently decided to retain his legal services. I trust Henry and have never had such a positive experience working with an attorney. I had spoken to Henry on multiple occasions over the span of several years regarding child visitation and support issues. He would pr...ovide me with quick insight and suggestions that were immediately effective, but never charged me. Problems compounded over the years that resulted in my desire to take legal action. Henry has always been very thorough, insightful, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. As a single parent, he was incredibly generous to provide me with free advice, before I decided to retain him for services. Throughout the entire ordeal, he was incredibly careful with any actions knowing what a struggle it would be for me to pay for services. I worked closely with Henry as well as his associate over the span of several weeks and I was very impressed with the prompt response times and the clarity in understanding their recommendations to my questions. My family’s needs were perfectly articulated into court documents and I am extremely satisfied with the service & results when considering the cost. I would definitely hire Henry again for future legal services and recommend him without hesitation.

Outstanding Experience

My daughter, who has never been in trouble, found herself in potentially serious trouble with significant consequences that would carry with them strong negative impact. I am no helicopter parent but in this case we did not believe justice was being served so we recognized the need for an attorney. ...I talked to around ten lawyers, and Henry was the one that stood out. He was confident but did not talk down, he listened, and he offered advice. Based on that we hired him. The experience was exceptional. It was evident that he has a deep understanding of the system, he is respected by the people within the system (including the prosecutors he goes up against), and he knows what is black & white and what is grey. The way he navigated the grey area was masterful. He managed the process and made the scary consequences go away. I hope I never have to but I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Mr. Henry Kass is completely focused on providing the best outcome for his clients

My experience with Mr. Kass was positive from the first moment we consulted with him. Mr. Kass was attentive, thorough, and helpful throughout a very difficult time. He was with us every step of the way with insight and compassion, always responding quickly and effectively with any questions or issue...s as they arose. I highly recommend Mr. Henry Kass, he is completely focused on providing the best outcome for his clients and provided the highest level of service possible. He is bright, intelligent, talented and and dedicated lawyer.

High Recommondation

I went through a very difficult divorce that lasted two years, I don't know how I would have gotten through it without Henry. He is very knowledgeable about divorce and family law and led me in the right direction concerning every decision. He won all our motions in court and issues outside of court ...and won a very favorable outcome for me. My ex-husband told a friend he wished he would have gotten Henry for himself. I think Henry's best assets are he's ethical, trustworthy, caring, and a good communicator. He explained complex legal and financial issues in clear ways that I could clearly understand. He's very good at returning phone calls and emails in a timely manner and I never felt out of touch with him. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help me through this difficult time and I would highly recommend him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Henry is known for his thorough preparation and courtroom skills. Most recently, he served as a Guardian ad litem in one of my custody cases. He did a great job with a difficult case. Ultimately, the parties accepted Henry's recommendations and settled, thus avoiding the huge expense of going to trial. Henry and I also served together on the DuPage County Bar Association's Judiciary Committee, which investigates, interviews, and rates judicial candidates. Henry always did his homework and gave thoughtful comments. Again, he showed the seriousness he brings to every task."
