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.

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.

Excellent Service

Estate planning seems a bit daunting, but Gabe and his team eased all our concerns within minutes of our first consult. Not only is Gabe professional and smart, but he is courteous, thorough and listens carefully before offering up suitable options. He prepared wills for my husband and me, and turn...ed them around in short order. We live in NY, and met up in his office to finalize signatures. One and done. After having such a pleasant experience, I thought it’d be good to set up my elder aunties in NJ up with their wills as well. It was during Covid, and the experience was just as easy. We had several Zoom calls to clarify what was best for my aunties. He was so patient and kind. Strangely enough, this is quite important and comforting when discussing lifetime earnings and assets. There is no doubt he is a terrific estate planner and he’s fees are reasonable. We’d give him 10 stars if we could. Hire him, you won’t regret it.

Professional and prompt

Gabriel recently completed our Trust with prompt and courteous service. The end to end process was easily explained by Gabriel and all meetings and deliverables were right on schedule. Would definitely recommend.

Great interactions and timely completion

Everything was done in a professional manner and ideas flow back and forth ended with an excellent Estate Plan. The documents were finished in a timely manner and details never fell through the cracks. The continued interaction after writing of Estate Plan is a big selling point. We chose Gabrie...l because of this. Gabriel helped with the selection of successor trustee. We ended up with a corporate trustee and are very satisfied with the selection.
