Jonathan and his staff were angels. They provided the right information and professionally represented me in court. Most importantly, they provided the relief that I needed at a moment when things looked confused, complicated, and a bit messy (legally). I will always be grateful for how they took care of me personally and professionally. I totally recommend them. They are the Best!!!

Speeding ticket remediation
Got a ticket on the Taconic, and found this firm through google search. They were quick, responsive, professional, and did a thorough and great job representing me. They kept me properly informed through the entire process. I'm driving more slowly now, but if I ever have a problem again, I would use them without a doubt.

Professional, responsive, excellent.
We were ticketed on the Taconic on our way north, and the town court was much too far away to contest the ticket in person. After research, we chose Jonathan Katz to represent us in town court. Jonathan's office explained the process clearly, and communicated promptly. The ticket was reduced from a 4 point unjust result to a 0 point non-moving violation (improper parking), and we paid the fine by website the same day. Excellent result.

Wonderful Experience from 4 points to 0. The best!
My son was ticketed for 58 mph in a 45 mph in the small town of Olive on the way to a ski resort. The offense carried 4 points. I read the reviews of several lawyers in the area and decided that Jonathan Katz would probably do the best job. Thank goodness I did. Not only did he represent my son so he did not have to travel the 2.5 hours from NJ for the hearing, but his fee was reasonable, was local to Olive, and like many other cases that I saw in reviews, was able to eliminate points. Instead of a 4 point speeding ticket, my son was fined for a 0 point "unsafe door opening." Wonderful job. The assistant, Liz, was in constant contact. Very helpful. Very friendly. I cannot say enough good things. If you need a lawyer for this type of situation, hire this firm.

Help with a problem
My wife had a problem that required a professional attorney. We contacted his office and first talked with Susan. She was fantastic she knew the details of the problems and was very professional. The case required the help of Jonathan Katz and his team. I would recommend his office to anyone needing his services and If Susan worked for me I would give her a salary increase.

Reduced Points with Representation
My wife is a busy doctor and it is hard for her to find the time to attend weeknight court in Upstate New York, where she received all of her tickets (we live half time in Westchester, half near Oneonta). At first we didn’t know how to proceed, since we hadn’t received a notice, but had forgotten about the first ticket. After a friend said his brother lost his license by ignoring tickets, I didn’t know what to do. I found Jonathan Katz’ online reviews and decided to give him a try. The regional lawyer who works for him got the points greatly reduced, and did the same for two other tickets, which would have suspended my wife’s license. The office personal are very pleasant and knowledgeable...I would highly recommend them in dealing with any traffic violations in small Upstate NY towns.

Terrific!
One phone call, one exchange of forms and a few weeks later my 62mph ticket in a 45 mph zone is reduced to a $50 parking violation, no points (could have been 4). Thrilled. Could not have been easier or more worth the fee.

Great office staff and honest
After being pulled over for a hefty speeding ticket I was worried about how fight it. Talking to a few different offices I felt most comfortable with Jonathan Katz’s. Not only were they very informative and helpful but most importantly honest throughout the whole process. When it avatully came time for the court date I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. For a ticket I was looking at a lot of points. We were shooting to get them dropped down and he acatually got them dropped completely. Of course I had to pay the court fine and fees but the points were my main concern. Would definitely recommend.

Most painless way to deal with 4 tickets
Got in contact with this law office by email, was very quickly called. Staff was with me every step of the way. Didn't need to show up in court. 4 traffic tickets worth 11 points got reduced to 1 parking ticket worth 0 points.

Jonathan Katz's law office helped me with my traffic case...
Jonathan Katz's law office helped me with my traffic case... I'm a good driver, and he used that in my plea. At the end, I am very very glad that there were no points against my driving record. His office kept me up to day on case rescheduling, and was very responsive via emails which was a definite plus as I live outside of NY. His office was able to represent me without me having to appear in court personally. Very professional and courteous!

Thanks for the Best Service
Liz Sullivan from the Jonathan Katz staff was most helpful in providing me with the information necessary to dispute my traffic violation. By having Jonathan Katz represent me at court I received a most successful plea with 0 points. Thank you Liz and Jonathan.

Great attorney and all around nice guy
Jon took my case that was looking like I had absolutely no shot and turned it into an even playing field. He never mislead or deceived and was always straight forward with me. He talked me through each step so that I was never in the dark about anything. He also has a great staff, friendly and attentive. I will/would hire him again. Thanks for all your hard work Jon.

A real good guy- down to earth and reassuring.
Jonathan has helped me many times. One of the most important was when he advised me AGAINST a financial transaction and refused to take money from me since he didn't (in his words) "do anything". I've used him several times and have referred friends, all of whom were happy. He gives great advice and has great follow through

Truly exceptional service, highly recommend!
Got a traffic ticket in Dutchess County. First one in a long time. So I looked for local traffic attorney and saw Jonathan Katz Law with great views. Susan took my call, she was very patient and provided me with a lot of valuable information. She explained the process and the options available. She encouraged me to do more homework first (e.g. calling the town court, checking with insurance company etc.) before deciding whether to use their service. She also followed up with an email, showing me how to retrieve my NYS driving record. She’s professional, responsive and honest. Truly exceptional service, highly recommend!

Excellent results , very pleased !!
I had a wonderful experience working with this law firm. They took care of everything for me, I did not even have to attend court. My 4 point ticket was reduced to a 0 pt violation , which I was very pleased with. Jonathan Katz and his associates worked in a very timely manner and I didn't have to worry or stress about the process at all. I live 2 plus hours from the area where the ticket was received and I was very pleased how minimally I was involved in the process yet, was kept very informed. Liz was very professional , effective, a pleasure to work with and made the process very easy for me. I would highly recommend Jonathan Katz law firm !!

I received the outcome I expected and an extremely happy with the service!
