Surprisingly disgraceful
Not because he will not do anything to defend your case, the only noted effort is in calculating the minutes to bill you. Because he will drop the ball, not show up to represent you and repond to your calls and emails days or probably weeks after you reach out to him. Because he will screw you with ...

Kind, accessible and proactive
I hired Josh as co-counsel a bit late in the game but he was completely worth it. He showed up, in every way, wrote detailed and well-thought-out motions, and I was able to contact him when needed. Any parent going through a custody case will tell you how critical it is to be able to consult even v...

"Hornets Nest"
While representing me in a matrimonial case, Mr. Katz referred to my case as a "hornet's nest" when communicating with the opposing council. Deplorable conduct all around.

Greedy and unprofessional
I had the misfortune of having Joshua R. Katz as my divorce attorney in what was a pretty simple case. Unfortunately, his greed, and carelessness turned a very simple case into a lengthy and unpleasant scenario. He never returned calls in a timely manner - had to wait months for him to contact me ba...
Unfortunately, this person did not put his/her name to the review, so I can't comment on specifics. If, in fact, any client of mine felt this way, then I apologize if I turned a stressful divorce into a more unpleasant event. I pride myself on returning calls within 24 hours, e-mails same day. My office staff are always available to reach me in any emergency situation. Communication between lawyer and client is an essential element of effective representation.
"I have had a number of cases with Mr. Katz. Mr. Katz is a tough advocate who cares about his clients. He is very knowledgeable on the law and, is always a professional to deal with. I recommend this attorney without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Katz has been a pleasure to deal with he is very knowledgeable prompt with discovery and an excellent negotiator."
