Professional

Handled a traffic violation for me. Attorney Katz did an excellent job, exceeding my expectations at a fair fee. The office staff did an kept me informed and followed up on every detail. Highly recommend.

Great Experience

I came to Mr. Katz and his staff with a traffic ticket case, and they handled it professionally and delivered a favorable outcome from the court. I was very pleased with the service.

This law office handled a speeding ticket I received. They handled it professionally, diligently, and quickly. I was very satisfied with their help in getting my ticket reduced with no points on my license which I have never had.

The best lawyer ever!

Having been repeatedly taken to family court over the last decade, I had found it necessary to engage the services of 7 lawyers due to ineffectiveness, oversight, and incompetency. In the five years since I retained Jon, I have had one. Time and again, the previous lawyers would have some vague expec...tation of what was possible, resulting in orders that were all over the place, and subject to revision. This resulted in my ex exploiting these holes to persistently pursue full custody through revolving petitions. Jon changed that, He had clear vision of what is possible, and what is right. He is not a miracle worker. He is a Master of Law. His mastery made it possible to shape custody orders that work for all parties involved, leaving no loopholes for my ex to exploit with perpetual petitions. With him, I know that my court cases were not just a paycheck, but an opportunity for the pursuit of justice. His lightheartedness, and ability to be present without angst, is a testament to the fact that he has not been jaded, and this proves to be a great benefit for his clients during stressful times. He is quite simply, the best lawyer ever.

Traffic Ticket

Handled a traffic ticket with ease, and was able to get a "zero point" result. Great communication and follow up. Would definitely recommend.
