Frank Douglas Kress

I want to post this review on the Services of Frank D. Kress with the Firm of Rubens and Kress in Chicago. I have been, for over the past four years, in a Workman's Compensation case in the state of Illinois. About one year ago Frank Kress worked with the defense in settling the first part of th...e case: The loss of income for the future. Even though I can't and won"t reveal the details of the settlement, Frank hammered out a deal with the defense for several thousand dollars more than even the Commission recommended. However, I must say the attorney for for the defense is a classy lady herself, she worked with my attorney in resolving the amazing settlement. My wife and I now live in central Kansas. On Monday, April 13, 2015, we drove to Urbana, Il. for a Workman's Compensation "trial" before a Commissioner for the State of Illinois. It was here that I got a first hand view of Mr. Kress and his legal skills. We did not see what went on behind the scenes in the first phase of the settlement, we were able to see what skills are "necessary" in the second phase of the settlement process of the medical benefits. The old saying "only a fool represents himself in court" is certainly true in this situation. This trial was about coordination of benefits between Federal Medicare and State of Illinois Workman's Compensation. I learned, my case is a rather rare situation, and that being the case, knowledge of both sides of the issue were and are vitally important. I couldn't have done it myself, being an old beat up retired truck driver. Any professional in this area of Workman's Comp law could not have done it any better. Frank demonstrates his "finger tip" knowledge of the law in this case. Working in a Federal Medicare level situation, you had better know the law or the situation it self will bury you. This is absolutely critical. Mr. Kress worked masterfully with the Commissioner and the attorney for the defense in trying to get a final resolve on this situation. Frank demonstrates his "total" skills in this area of expertise. This is not a phoney review for Frank Kress. I wish there were some way for you to get hold of me to prove it. You will, bar none, not be able to find a better attorney to work for you. His professional dress, mannerisms, facial expressions, carriage, skills, knowledge, application of law, ad infinitum are superior. Whether it be personal injury or Workman's Compensation law, you will need someone that has the skills that are vital to resolving your case. If you have a good or fair case, do not be afraid to trust your case to just anyone. It could cost you dearly. Mr. Kress is not an ambulance chasing..shyster type attorney. Mr. Kress has my permission to share my phone number to share with anyone who would ask (24/7) in an effort to prove the validity of this post. Mr. Kress humbled me into the ground and I am so thankful for what he has done for my family. Most sincerely AEW

1/19/2015 Mr. Kress is an honest competent attorney, he is very informative and does his job with the up most integrity. He seems to genuinely care about how you have been affected with your injury and been treated by your employer. He has on many occasions called me just to see how I was doing tha...t day...that shows he really cares. Anytime I called him and left a message he was very prompt with getting back with me. Anytime workman's comp was not paying my TTD or any of my bills he was right on it making sure it got done. I could not ask for a better attorney and I will definitely recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney!!!

I want to write this review with true and honest feelings. Since Mr. Kress has handled my case 3 years ago, I have had nothing but stress free living. I was hurt on my job in 2011. Mr. Kress has taken great care of not only me but also my family. He has always made me feel that I am being well taken ...care of . Dealing with an employer and their insurance can be a nightmare. If I did not have Frank and I can call him Frank due to he is a true friend on my case, I would have been fired from my job and replaced. Frank has taken great time and effort in making sure I have been paid every week. Sure some times the insurance company likes to play games, but Frank was always on the phone with myself and the insurance company getting things in order. A friend had recommended Frank to me and I am sure glad I found an honest and hard working lawyer. I just want to say thanks and I would and will recommend Frank D. Kress to anyone who is in need of his services.

I have never felt so disrespected in my life. If you are looking to hire an attorney, STAY AWAY from Frank Kress. He is very unprofessional. He will speed you through your conversation, convince you to sign paperwork, and then vanish. No updates, avoids all phone calls and questions, and even has hi...s secretary screen calls to avoid his clients. This is not what attorneys are paid to do. Stay away from this one, he will only bring you additional stress.
