Posted by Tina | June 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Divorce and bankruptcy

Attorney Mr. Richard A. Katz represented me regarding my divorce and bankruptcy. During a doubly difficult time in my life, I can honestly say, I was truly blessed to have such a superior attorney! It was Mr. Katz's level of compassion, professionalism, efficiency, swiftness, and consistent care tha...t made a difficult time turn brighter. I was very pleased with not only Mr. Katz but with the overall warmth and care from his office. They are a true team! I'm grateful for the positive experiences and outcomes!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
