Divorce and Child Support

Josh had to come in and clean up a very nasty and hostile divorce. Josh was everything that a lawyer should be. He made himself available, answers his own phone. He’s knowledgeable and successful. However I didn’t hire him just for that, he’s on the inside, he works with and knows the magistrates. He... knew a lot of the opposing counsel to include mine. He litigates. He has confidence. If he tells you it’s going to happen it does. We’ve been through hell and the important part is he got me back in one piece, and that’s not an exaggeration.

Only cares

I hired mr. Katz for several months. He was mostly professional, over promising, sometimes his work would be satisfactory He would answer 85% of his emails with three or more days of delay and sometimes jot answering them at all. I felt money was his main motivation. Sometimes he would do his own th...ing at court despite being asked to do what the clients ask him to do. I believe in his own way he cared but he would have too many clients to deliver the quality work that other clients are paying him for.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
