All Around Incredible Attorney

Brian Katz handled my daughter's counter suit for a car accident and we couldn't have been happier. I appreciated his thoroughness, honesty, and candor. Unlike most lawyers I know, he gives direct answers to direct questions vs lawyer speak. Most importantly though, Brian was keenly aware of how ...upsetting the entire episode was to my daughter and his efforts to make the entire process as easy as possible on her was impressive. I expect lawyers to be thorough and capable... not empathetic to the emotions of a teenage girl. The fact Brian was able to be all three was most impressive. Highly recommend Brian and the entire firm to anyone looking for a great lawyer or firm.

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.
