Philip Benjamin Katz

I wish I can give All Stars in our Galaxy. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional work of Philip, the divorce lawyer, and his paralegal, Wendi. They were truly instrumental in guiding me through a challenging divorce process. From the start, Philip's expertise and prof...essionalism shone through. Despite having previously switched lawyers twice, Philip made me feel at ease during our first meeting, assuring me that my case was not only manageable but also had strong potential for success. His intelligence and legal acumen were evident throughout the entire process, and he consistently demonstrated a high level of competence in handling my case. Furthermore, Wendi's promptness in responding to emails and her meticulous attention to detail greatly contributed to the smooth progress of my case. The polite and respectful manner in which Philip interacted with his clients, including myself, further exemplifies his dedication to providing excellent service. I am genuinely grateful to Philip and Wendi for their invaluable assistance, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a competent and professional divorce lawyer

If you want an overpriced dude who is aloof on deadlines, sits on important emails for weeks or months, doesn't take your concerns about your child's safety nor your concern for the other party's mental health seriously... well, this is your guy! (Don't take my word for it. Call and ask for his vo...icemail. His outgoing message will tell you all you need to know about his promptness) He received discovery request from opposing counsel and didn't send it until two months later, a full month after it was due back. Didn't wait on making sure to charge for it though! Sat on an important email about schooling decisions until 9:30 the night before the deadline. What did the opposing party argue in court? That I'm not involved in our child's school because I wasn't adding to the conversation, when I wasn't even aware of the email until three weeks after it was sent! Told him in our consultation there were serious concerns for mental health. Does he request mental health records in discovery after you continually express those concerns? Nope! After you express your discontent with that decision, does he file a second set of discovery? Yep, but after the deadline to compel — again, weeks later — so the other party didn't have to supply them. Don't ask for an apology though, lest you get an incredibly ironic lecture in "accountability". I'm sure he will comment on this reply with something similar. Maybe he will say you're uncooperative because you're upset with his lack of promptness. I'm sure his response to this review will be prompt though! Gotta keep up appearances, right? Maybe your kid(s) will get lucky and be worthy of the money you're paying him. Don't bet on it though.

After I filed my complaint for dissolution of marriage pro se, my husband retained a “fathers’ rights” attorney who quickly turned our case into high conflict litigation. Because I knew that I needed an excellent family law attorney to move forward, I called Mr. Philip Katz, a Martindale-Hubbell Pre...eminent Lawyer with an AV rating, the highest level of professional excellence, skills and integrity. Although I was a mess, Mr. Katz patiently listened my concerns and immediately started work on my case. Based on his vast experience and knowledge of how the judge might rule, Mr. Katz developed a legal argument that made it likely that the judge would rule in my favor. Opposing counsel came out swinging, but Mr. Katz, calm and persistent, presented the best legal argument and judge ruled in my favor. For these reasons, I highly recommend Mr. Philip Katz to anyone looking for an attorney to represent them in a high conflict case. In my opinion, he is a Rockstar Litigator.

I was dealing with a divorce modification regarding parenting time and child support, and my case spiraled into unnecessary complexities while working with another attorney. After 1 year of unresolved issues, I contacted and hired Philip. In less than 3 months, Philip was able to button everything u...p and it ended exactly the way I hoped. His knowledge and experience is key to his efficiency, and his tactful communication skills are unparalleled. Philip was always very responsive, and told me exactly what I could expect.

I like how Philip is direct and straight to the point, and used his experiences to educate me on the process. He knows the system and how it works, and that gave me the confidence to get through this difficult time in my life. He gave the process a personal touch and I knew it wasn't all about the... money for him. He guided me along the way. He made the divorce process as bearable as possible, with knowledge and information about what was next, and more importantly, he was compassionate and specific to my situation. He talked TO me, and not AT me. He gave genuine answers and responses, not generic bs. Thank you Philip.
