A great attorney

Colette Katz Law Firm Super professional gets the job done The attorney called me herself after the case to let me know the verdict most attorneys have somebody else call you that means a lot to me. I will definitely Recommend them and Definitely have them take care of any future tickets

Bottomline, she delivers what she promise

It my first ever traffic violation ticket of improper turn, and I thank God for her being my first ever lawyer for my traffic violation ticket. She literally took time off from her busy schedule to do and not to do list without charging me a penny. If you call or go to hire any lawyers out there, the...y will only talk after you have wrote them a check. If I had gone through with my initial plan of facing the judge with no lawyer to back me up, it would have landed a 3 points on my license and a huge fine to go with it. She saved me from both and charged 1/3 of what most would charge you. You WILL NOT regret having her as your attorney! Best part is SHE DELIVERS WHAT SHE PROMISE!

An Attorney to trust!!

I met Ms. Katz in traffic court and she was so kind and tranquil I wasn’t really sure she was an attorney. And she definately is! I put my trust in her, gave her my tickets, paid her reasonable fee, and left it in her hands. She followed through without me ever having to remind her and I was just inf...ormed that she prevailed on my behalf on both moving violations I received. No one can guarantee winning lawsuits, but if you want your best shot at winning and a guaranteed trustworthy attorney who will be committed to your case, I would strongly advise you to retain Colette Katz to represent you!!!

Got me out of my ticket

I am prolific in getting moving violations in Manhattan. I used to try to defend myself by going to court and fighting them, but I’ve learned that only a fool represents himself in traffic court. My latest ticket was for using a cell phone, which carries 5 points. I decided to try a lawyer that ha...nded me her card one morning on the way to the gym. She saw I drove a commercial vehicle and figured I could use it. I paid her fee in advance of the court date, not knowing whether she would take my case seriously or not, because she told me I didn’t even have to be at court. She did take some information, we strategized a little, and I left it to her. And of course, she got me out of the ticket. I suppose she has her own ways of tripping up the officers, but in any case, without me watching over her shoulder she was successful. There’s no guarantee that it will happen again but I plan to continue using her. Hope you never need her, but there you go.
