Amy Handler Kasallis

Attorney Amy Handler Kasallis founded the Law Office of Amy Handler Kasallis in 2006 to serve families with unique needs. 

Amy has been practicing law for nearly 30 years, the majority of which she has concentrated her practice in the areas of guardianship and special needs-focused estate planning.  As a mother of a young adult son with Autism, she brings both extensive personal and professional experience to her practice.  

Amy provides clients with legal assistance from a place of understanding and compassion.  She knows that when parents have a child with a disability, decisions about planning for the future can be complicated and emotional.  She helps her clients to understand options, navigate complexities, and find the right tools to help on their unique journeys.

Amy is frequently appointed by the court to act as Guardian ad Litem in adult disabled guardianship matters.  She has served as the committee chair for the Trusts & Estates Committee for Lake County Bar Association.  She is also a frequent presenter on the topics of adult disabled guardianship, guardianship alternatives, and special needs planning for both parents' groups and her fellow attorneys.
