Default Cutting off legs of a table

I recently completed a free-standing cabinet/sideboard that will sit next to
the kitchen cooktop. Its top must be the exact same height. I have ordered
a granite top for the cabinet (which cost more than my house) and now
realize the cabinet will be too tall (by about an inch). I have been
agonizing how to cut-off the legs so that they are (a) square and
perpendicular and (b) exactly the same length so the cabinet will not
wobble. The cabinet is too big and too heavy for the Unisaw so my guess is
I will have to resort to using a hand saw with some sort of fence to keep
the saw perfectly square and perpendicular. So, I turn to the learned and
wise woodworkers of this newsgroup for guidance and inspiration.

Thanks in advance.
