Outstanding Lawyer, Highly recommended

Outstanding experience working with Katzner Law Group. Gabriel is top-notch. Extremely detail oriented, expert knowledge in his area of law with Will and Trust work, always getting work done ahead of schedule, and felt supported throughout the whole process. Couldn't recommend him highly enough. Grea...t overall experience.

Don't shop around for an excellent estate attorney. You've found him.

Calm, steady, knowledgeable, reliable, all traits you want in an estate lawyer. I have worked with attorneys for decades in my career as a court reporter, and I immediately felt comfortable dealing with Gabriel and his team. They deftly handled every question I had and certainly covered every contin...gency I never in a million years would have thought of. This is why you hire an attorney. Something as important as protecting your children in the event of your passing is not something you download from the internet and hope you get it right. The Katzner Law Group took what can be an overwhelming process and walked me through it step by step until everything was in order. I really appreciate the kind, intelligent, respectful treatment I received. I highly recommend this firm for handling estate needs. You don't need to shop around. Just retain them so you can put your mind at ease, knowing you've protected the ones you love most.

He made the whole process simple and painless. We highly recommend him.

Ms.

We worked with Gabriel on Estate Planning with an extremely tight timeline and were delighted to find him amazingly accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. He is a talented professional who has tremendous experience and competence. His efficiency in understanding our case and executing the plan pr...omptly have put us at great ease - having made a complex subject both simple and tax efficient. His transparent communication regarding his fees too, was an icing on the cake. We would highly recommend him.

Reassuring, Prompt and Knowledgeable

With warmth and professionalism, Gabriel and his team helped me finally turn a lingering "to do" into a "ta-da" in a fairly short span of time and at a reasonable cost. His forms and explanations were clear and user-friendly, and his responses to emails were consistently punctual. In essence, Gabriel... made estate planning as pleasant and easy as possible.
