Cemetary Matter

Attorney Katz was engaged by our family to handle a very unique situation involving the burial of my father and mother in a local cemetery. Our father died first, and his cremated remains were buried at the cemetery and a headstone placed at the cemetery's direction. When our mother died, she w...as supposed to be buried with my father’s urn. But the cemetery buried her in the wrong plot, and could not find my father’s urn. Eventually the cemetery moved her to the correct plot, but my father’s urn was still missing. The cemetery company told us, “We believe we have filled all of our obligations.” Attorney Katz then filed suit on our behalf. Ultimately, through his efforts, my father’s cremains were found, we had a proper funeral and received a settlement in compensation for all that our family had been put through. At all times Attorney Jonathan Katz was reachable by the family and he worked tenaciously to get this matter resolved. I have spent 30 years in law enforcement, and I understand what good lawyering is. Thank You Attorney Katz for accepting his unique legal matter and seeing it thru to the end bringing closure for the family. I would highly recommend you and your firm for both criminal and civil matters.

rare fabulous attorney

jonathan was fabulous during this ordeal, he was thorough and spent alot of time thinking the situation thru and discussing all of our options and possible reactions from opposing counsel, he went far beyond the call of duty to with our insurance company to resolve this issue. i have never met a m...ore sharp and alert atty, he was extremely thoughtful and kind and very sensitive to our needs. i wish more attorneys were like him. i also wish that he was able to handle every legal issue we encountered. joinathan is an truly a super lawyer and an example of what a super lawyer should be. thank you so much jonathan katz.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
