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.

Excellent Attorney Really shows he cares for his clients

I was a little nervous at first..but my experience with my Attorney Joshua Katz was Excellent. He explained everything to me in detail and everything I needed to know to protect myself. I felt very comfortable with him and would highly recommend him to family and friends. Despite other reviews and so...me people's opinion to me a busy Lawyer is a hard working lawyer with high demand for his professional expertise. I wouldn't want to higher someone who sits by the phone just waiting for the next client to call, to me that's someone who has not established high clientele. People have to understand a person can only do so much in a day and people have to be patient. Mr.Katz and his staff are very professional and respectful. Everytime I have called he always Called me back the day of or the following day. He is and outstanding Lawyer and I hope my experience will help others who are looking for a lawyer With alot of knowledge and who is passionate for his work and who is very caring for his clients I wouldn't look any further If your looking to be protected higher Joshua R.

Divorce w/ difficult opposing counsel

I went through a pretty simple divorce, however my ex-wife had a lawyer of questionable ethics and business practices. Josh and the other lawyers at Plaine and Katz helped keep me focused on the end result, and pushed the other lawyer to action and avoid wasting additional money on the non-sense my ...ex-wife and her lawyer chose to argue. The team at plain and Katz made things very straight forward and explained the laws which took the fear out of the divorce from the "horror stories" you hear from others. In the end the law is the law and everything can be negotiated. I would highly recommend Josh and the Plaine and Katz firm in general.
