Unstoppable Advocate: How This Lawyer Helped Me Win It All in Family Court and Beyond

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible service I received from this lawyer in both my family court case related to child support and my Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) case in New Jersey. From start to finish, this lawyer was nothing short of exceptional. They demonstrated a...n unwavering commitment to my case, showing deep knowledge of family law, and a compassionate approach that made navigating such a challenging time much easier. In my child support case, this lawyer was meticulous in gathering all the necessary evidence and presenting a compelling argument. They fought hard for what was rightfully owed to my child, ensuring that I received the support I deserved. It was clear that they were well-prepared, understanding the complexities of the law and how it applied to my specific situation. Additionally, in my TRO case, this lawyer was a fierce advocate, and I felt completely supported. They understood the gravity of the situation and worked quickly to ensure my safety and well-being. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I won both cases and was able to move forward with peace of mind. I am so thankful for this lawyer’s tireless work, professionalism, and support throughout the entire process. I truly believe they went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for me and my family. Honestly, I’d give them my firstborn if I could—such is my gratitude and trust in their abilities. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you and deliver results, look no further. Highly recommended!

Fabulous Attorney

I highly recommend David Katz to anyone Involving Debt Collections. He works very hard for his clients and is incredibly reliable. Many times we hire attorneys who do not call us back. David would never do that to you. If you have a client who is not paying what they owe you, please call David!

Best Lawyer I ever hired, and I've hired many

There are no words to describe exactly how amazing Mr. Katz is. What he has done for me, other lawyers could not. What he has accomplished for me was UNaccomplishable or so the others said. Look, if you are in a bind, this is your man. If you are looking for professionalism at its finest, a perso...n who will bend backward to get you to the finish line, David is your attorney.
