C

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 car...e 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 f...rom 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 need...ing his services and If Susan worked for me I would give her a salary increase.

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.
