EZ Pass

Mrs. Colette helped my brother with his EZ Pass tolls and violations. He owed the MTA $11,000 and would get his registration suspended in August if he did not pay them. I spoke with Mrs. Colette and she immediately resolved the issue and arranged for a payment plan instead of having to pay the entire... amount all at once. She was very patient, communicative, and explained everything my brother had to do step by step. Above all, she was very friendly and responded immediately to any questions we had. I highly recommend her for any traffic tickets or EZ Pass violations.

EZ Pass + NY/NJ Port Authority Bridges & Tunnels

Last week I was pulled over due to the fact I had unpaid tolls dating back to 2016. The total amount from MTA, NY/NJ Port Authority Bridges and Tunnels was $13,000. Had issues with EZ Pass and tolls. Due to me moving 4x since Covid, the mail from them was being sent to previous address causing me to ...not see these fines and fees adding up. Long story short, I called Colette Katz Law Firm and spoke to her directly. Colette was extremely professional and prompt. The devised plan was to call up all these agencies and work on getting a reduction + payment plan. I was more than satisfied with the complete scope of work that was completed. Now I can move on with my life not wondering if these tolls were going to hold me back. Highly recommend.
