I recently hired Henry Kass and am so glad I did. Although I had a small matter, Henry treated me like I was his only client. He was professional, knowledgeable, expedient and his follow up was amazing. More importantly, he cared. He was able to use his relationships at the courthouse to our benefit. I highly recommend Henry Kass.

I would absolutely recommend Henry and the MKFM firm to all my friends and family. My case was a contested adoption and ended up also including a side appeal case as well. It was an extremely long and litigious case that required patience, expertise and attention to detail. We won our case handedly and we would not have without Henry's extensive knowledge in case law, brilliant trial composure and overall calm, composed and very confident demeanor. In fact, the Appellate court saw fit to have Henry's arguments entered into case law for future cases. If you need an attorney who can get the job done, look no further, this firm does not mess around.

I came to Henry with a divorce case previously handled by another attorney that was extremely long, complicated, and for which there was no similar precedent. Add to that a change in the divorce law while in process, and the complexity magnified. I truly believe had it not been for Henry's intelligence, tenacity, deep understanding/amazing total recall of the law, and spirited desire to make things right, my outcome would have been financially and psychologically disastrous. I cannot say enough good things about Henry's skill, competence and patience, and would highly recommend Henry to anyone looking for an ethicial and upstanding attorney for the best possible legal outcome.

After many years of using my married name for business purposes, thou I was no longer married, I decided to re-claim my birth name. I contacted Henry Kass, and he got started. He told me exactly what I needed to do and when to do it. I was able to accomplish all I needed within four weeks including appearing in court. The whole experience was seamless. I was very happy with his work and would highly recommend him.

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 involved 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.

After talking to a few attorneys about what I needed done. I was starting to feel like no one cared about my situation. Yes, I know I caused my own issues when I was younger but that was 21 years ago. Henry from the get go showed interest in helping me. He actually got me more motivated to get things rolling. Even after a small technicality that prevented one charge from being sealed he said he would stay on it. Then, finally he called to tell me that the law changed and that I can now get the final case sealed. He called me!! I didn't have to hound him or even ask. This goes to show that not all attorneys are the same. If you need help getting a few mishaps off your record, Henry is the man to use.

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 provide 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.

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.

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 issues 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.

Henry is an extremely gifted attorney. He's knowledgable in the law and also has a great way of relating and working with you. He's honest, upfront and is prompt with updates and all communications throughout the case. My case was a challenging and unique order of protection case, that involved many witnesses. Henry's organization and expertise was beyond impressive! Henry put everything he had into our case and we are forever grateful for his time and skills and attention to every detail! We were pleased with the outcome of our case and highly recommend Henry to anyone looking for an honest and amazing attorney!
