This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Easy to work with, very

I spoke with a number of firms before selecting one and am so glad that I decided to go with JDKatz. I am working with Jeremy Rachlin on a complicated real estate transaction and I would highly recommend him. Jeremy has been responsive, helpful, timely and considerate. Thanks for the great se...rvice.

I was very pleased with the professionalism of this lawyer and the manner in which my problems were resolved. I felt he continually provided me with sound and helpful advice while working on my behalf. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

Posted by anonymous | April 2, 2024 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Does not employ necessary discretion or keep consultation confidentiality

I contacted Jeremy Rachlin after learning an attorney had swindled my elderly mother shortly before her death and violated a dozen other laws. Unbeknownst to me, the attorney was a friend of Mr. Rachlin. Client Intake Sheets other details preceded a 180 degree change in demeanor and sudden doubt in t...he facts of my case, upon Mr. Rachlin's learning the name of the attorney. One understands if Mr. Rachlin did not want to sue a friend. To then reference my case as “threatening a colleague” and the stress the unlikelihood of finding representation against said attorney, lacked judgement. Apparent obstructive actions to prevent representation/protect his friend, seem to be ongoing. Recently, another firm admitted they were aware Jeremy Rachlin knew the attorney in question and had declined my case. Though squarely in their specialization, w/o consult & acknowledgement they had not reviewed case or documentation, they then stated they would not take my case. I had not spoken to Mr. Rachlin in over a year nor mentioned his name to anyone at the firm.

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.
