Knowledgeable and fantastic

I had one of those Park Avenue lawyers billing me at $700 an hour. A friend of mine who is friends with a judge in Manhattan said to contact Joshua. He will get the job done and done right for less money. I figured if a judge is recommending someone it has to be spot on. And spot on it was. My divor...ce case going on for three years was over within 5 months of hiring Josh! He avoided going to trial and reasoned with my ex and his attorney and got me MORE than I was hoping! I have recommended him to two of my friends and both have hired and love him and his staff! You want something done professionally and compassionately? Then josh Katz and his staff is the way to go!!

Divorce & Family Law

Joshua Katz & his staff have handled my case consistently in a very diligent & compassionate manner especially with respect to my children, two of whom have special needs. In each stage of litigation, he returns calls & communications promptly & with focus on the issue at hand. Most importantly, he... has the experience needed to protect & advise concerning future angles & rights connected with my case. You know that your case is being given every chance it deserves with Mr. Katz. As a family, we are so grateful for what Mr. Katz has accomplished.

It doesn't get better than Joshua Katz, esq

Mr. Katz was a God send. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and flexible. He understood my divorce not only as a legal matter, but as an emotionally challenging ordeal and at times a logistical nightmare. Mr. Katz was able to safeguard my interests while dealing with custody challenges ,... division of assets and long term consequences of each stipulation. He was kind in explaining the legal repercussions of my decisions, strategic in his execution of the agreements/ filings and committed as a Pitbull while representing us in court. He shepherd me and my children in that tumultuous time and provided us with a solid base from where we were able to reconfigure our lives and move on. His staff is superb. The senior paralegal, Deloris is equal parts a top notch seasoned legal professional and equal part "therapist". I could have not made it without their advice and support. 5 stars.

Exceptional

Mr. Katz is currently litigating a contentious divorce for me in Supreme Court. My case involves divorce, custody disputes, protection orders, support, maintenance, and separation of assets. Josh has been an asset both in the courtroom and out by giving me knowledgable advice on even small things suc...h as what to wear to court, and exceptional represtation when advocating for my financial future. His office staff is polite, his retainer reasonable, and I have never waited more than 24 hours for a return phone call. I highly recommend working with Josh Katz if you are in need of legal representation.

Confidence

The decision to file for divorce was stressful, but deciding who will handle the divorce seemed just as difficult..... untill my initial meeting with Joshua Katz. I felt totally comfortable speaking with him and was confident he was going to help me. Three years into a long and dragged out divorce ......that finally was completed ...Joshua Katz proved repeatedly his dedication, hard work, persistence, loyalty and honesty! I could not thank him enough for being a huge support and helping me get through a difficult time and very difficult process. I have already recommended him to others and have only heard positive comments.
