Unprofessional and not comunicative

Paid for a traffic infraction that needed a lawyer since it was a business and not personal. They appeared and settled the issue, but instead of paying the amount using the same card I gave them as previously agreed upon, they just left. I was later told that I needed to go to the court before they c...losed to pay for it, which was a physical impossibility, just because the lawyer left already without doing what was already agreed upon. I later tried to follow up without a reply, and even later get a followup fine for not paying the original fine that they were supposed to pay for in my stead. All without communication on what was going on. They essentially just took my money and did nothing and cost me more money.

Signed up with Katz to handle a speeding ticket, gave my credit card and first hearing date was postponed. They never showed up at court for the rescheduled hearing date. You can't speak to a person and can only leave a voice message. Phone calls are never returned. Do NOT use this law firm. The...y need to be put out of business!!

Truly A Waste of Time

Don't be fooled by this one! When you call he will be charming and take your case and your money. That will be the last time you ever speak with Seth Katz. After that you will get a recorded message and they will never return your call!!!!! If you're lucky you will speak with Kate (another lawyer...) who will promise you anything you want to hear or John who will make excuses and give you reasons why no one has returned your calls even though they have taken your money! They never showed up to court for me and my license was suspended and neither they or I knew it!!!! They claim it was a "computer error" but in fact it is because they are incompetent and are only interested in taking your money!!!! Don't be fooled by these people. After 17 calls (and promises) I eventually got my money back, but all a complete waste of time!

Knowledgeable and Responsive

Katz Law Firm is FANTASTIC! I received a speeding ticket and immediately hired Seth and his firm. They were super responsive handling all my paperwork and kept me updated with all changes in my case. Ultimately, the end result is all that matters; NOT GUILTY! Cant thank you enough!

A terrible experience: I had a problem, so I hired him. Now I have two problems.

I hired Seth in March 2015 to handle a license suspension issue for me. At first, he was very responsive, always personally answering the phone and responding to emails. He diligently took my information, had me sign a retainer and then charged my credit card for the fee he quoted of $850. After t...hat, I never heard from him again. I called about 10 times, left 2 voice mails, and emailed 2 times. By April I had given up, and in my final voicemail said that the uncommunicative way in which he has conducted himself had led me to no longer require his services, and that I would like a full refund. Of course, I have not heard back. I am currently exercising all available legal recourse to recover the money.

  • 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.
