ONE OF THE BEST!!!!

My experience with Mr. Katz was in family court. He fights truthful and fair. Very knowledgable and resourceful. Stands up for what is right! I am so grateful that my child had him as an attorney. Thank You Mr. Katz!!

Amazing Family/Divorce Lawyer

My wife filed for an order of protection against me (falsely) to keep me from my kids, and then filed for divorce. I felt like I was in a free fall, interviewed a lot of attorneys, and when I met Philip Katz I had a good feeling about him. He laid out a plan, gave me advice as to what to do, he ran... to Family Court, handled the order of protection for me so I could see my kids again, and he eventually got me through the divorce (it took a while) with a pretty fair financial settlement and a great custody deal so I can see my kids and be involved in their lives regularly. Thank you so much Fink & Katz! I hope I never need you again, but I appreciate all you did for me!!

Highly recommend! He is the man, best attorney!!

Mr. Philip Katz is the most dedicated, who you can trust attorney I have ever met. He truly cares about his clients. He applies himself 100% for the my cases, determined to win. He is so knowledgeable, professional and supportive, compassionate. I been watching many attorneys how they do cases in a c...ourt house...I'm lucky I could met him. Not only he a great attorney, but he is also a great human being as well! I been telling his name to around me who needs attorney. I would go back to Mr. Philip Katz if I ever need an attorney again. Thank you so much Mr. Katz, I can't say enough.
