Hess Law Firm, LLC

Hess Law Firm, LLC Naperville Law Firm Focused on Probate and Contested Estate and Trust Litigation, Estate Planning, Civil Litigation and Appeals, and Small Business Services

Matthew Hess is the Founder and Principal of Hess Law Firm, LLC. He brings over two decades of complex litigation experience to the firm, and primarily focuses his practice on contested estate and trust litigation, probate, trust administration and estate planning. Matt represents clients in the Chicagoland area and throughout Illinois. A graduate of Marist High School on the Southwest side of Chi

cago, Matt earned his B.A. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000, double-majoring in Political Science and Finance. He went on to obtain his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2003. He began his career prosecuting complex medical malpractice cases on behalf of injured patients and their families at both the trial court and appellate court levels, in state and federal court. Matt went on to work at a large law firm in downtown Chicago where he represented doctors and hospitals (and their insurance companies) who were being sued for malpractice. Matt has served as lead trial counsel in defamation litigation as well, and has handled countless medical malpractice cases that resulted in favorable jury verdicts at trial. After spending thirteen years litigating these heartbreaking cases and seeing the ways in which families were impacted by acts of medical and nursing home negligence, Matt decided to open his own law firm so he could help individuals and families in times of need. He realizes that people need a lawyer who can provide aggressive yet compassionate representation during their most difficult times, and Matt dedicates his practice to helping people pursue and protect their rights when disputes arise following the death of a loved one. He also provides general counsel services to small- and medium-sized business owners.

Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know the longest will known to date was 1,066 pages long? That’s right, over 1,000 pages of wishes, instructions, and legal language! 🤯 While most wills are much shorter, this record-breaking document shows just how detailed you can get with your estate plan.

🌟But don’t worry—we can help make your estate plan clear, concise and easy to understand!

Once your will has been drafted and executed, it’s essential not to forget about it. Your will should be reviewed and updated from time to time to ensure it reflects your current wishes and financial situation. Any acquisition of new property or changes in your family — including divorce or the birth of a child — may require you to amend your will. If only a few changes must be made, this can usually be done with a codicil. But if substantial changes are needed, it may be in your best interests to draft a new instrument.

Hess Law Firm can assist you in drafting your last will and testament to ensure it complies with state law and reflects your final wishes. Contact us if you have questions or need assistance with drafting your will or any estate planning matters.
