I initially had another attorney representing me. She was great, but due to personal issues, I had to make a difficult choice to switch representation. My neighbor, a retired police officer, recommended Tom Kenny. He had worked with Tom in his line of work and had Tom represent his daughter in court for a divorce. I had already been in court for over 3 years, had a previous GAL and multiple pretrial hearings. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my daughter's therapist was no longer available and I had a switch of judges one month before my case would have been finalized. My ex took advantage of the change in judge, requested a new GAL, lied about everything, and made constant accusations through motions. He put me in a position where my daughter was temporarily taken from me. This is where Tom came in. My former attorney told me, "He's a good guy" and worked to transfer all documentation to him. I had heard his name and his brother's name constantly being assigned as a GAL in other cases at court. When he took over my case, he came in ready to battle. His expertise as a GAL and highly respected reputation in court, made my ex know he was not playing their games. He was very thorough and advised me on the best course of action to take. He got my daughter back to me right away. In the middle of all of this, I was diagnosed with cancer and my ex wasted no time to use this against me. All I can say is that Tom protected me, but made sure he did what was best for my daughter. I know this was the GAL in him. He never made needless motions or meetings to extract extra money as I have heard so many other attorneys do. Every action he took was with a purpose and to get an agreement in place. No matter what angle my ex took with his legal team, Tom was ready. Unfortunately, I did have to go to trial. But every move, every single question Tom made was done with a purpose. My ex had 2 attorneys, who were both also GALs, representing him. I had Tom (GAL) and there was the court assigned GAL to my case. At trial, the court had 4 GALS in the room, and the best won, which was Tom of course. He blew the others out of the water. My sister who has worked with multiple law firms in downtown Chicago was extremely impressed by him. My ex even accused me of being "terminal" to DCFS, in order to get custody of my daughter. It was a clown show with him and Tom made sure it was evident in court. If it wasn't for Tom, I sincerely doubt I would have gotten my daughter back. As a single mother of 2 girls, Tom came in as my savior, and this is not an exaggeration. At court, the majority of time I went alone, but having Tom as my representation, I breathed a sigh of relief and gained strength and courage knowing that he was by my side. I am forever grateful for Tom for all that he did. I would highly recommend him (and constantly do), especially in high conflict cases.

Review for Attorney Tom Kenny After over two years of delays and frustration with my previous counsel, I made the decision to switch attorneys—and hiring Tom Kenny was hands down the best decision I could have made. I initially brought Tom on board to take over a post-decree matter that had been endlessly dragged out by my former attorney. Tom immediately took control of the situation and fast-tracked my case, resolving it efficiently in just four court appearances. From day one, Tom demonstrated a sharp understanding of the legal landscape and an unwavering commitment to my case. He wasn’t just responsive and organized—he was strategic, prepared, and deeply conscious of both my time and money. What stood out the most was his ability to push back against systemic biases I had encountered earlier in the process. With Tom in my corner, I finally felt like I had a true advocate—someone who wasn’t afraid to be aggressive when it counted, and who always had my best interests at heart. If you're looking for an attorney who is focused, tenacious, and truly dedicated to getting results, Tom Kenny is your guy. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Tom Kenny is very thorough and concise and to the point. He's a wonderful attorney. I highly recommend him!

Thomas is a great attorney. He saved me on time .He has good knowledge about everything.

We used Michael Kenny, he is really knowledgeable, and has no problem answering any of your questions, he was great to work with.

Level headed and measured mediation. Found resolution through common sense approach. No nonsense. Experienced with family mediation and law.

Fair, equitable, and worth every penny. I would highly recommend him. He is quick to respond and doesn’t waste your time with emotional or careless back and forth banter. He is highly admire by peers and judges in Dupage county. Don’t look any further for a divorce lawyer. He is the one to make it simple and fast.

Michael is extremely level headed calms peoples nerves and is always professional and a pleasure to work with, he responds quickly to clients questions and a breath of fresh air!!!!

Tom worked on my divorce case for about 4 years after I fired the first two lawyers who were failing my case. Tom is diligent, experienced and efficient. He is very thorough with evidence. I did not have to explain him what was and was not true in the opposing party statements; his analysis of evidence was outstanding. His knowledge of law is excellent. He was always prepared for court no matter how many cases he was handling at the same time. Needless to say that he is very convincing with the judges. His communications with me were always worth the money and the billing was fair. I was happy to work with him. Not only he saved my case, he won it, including the appeal! I highly recommend him.

Mr Kenny was thorough, thoughtful, and professional.

I was very happy with my experience with Tom. He was very responsive and achieved an equitable settlement. I would recommend him to others with no hesitation.
