This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Work

Joseph Katz did an excellent job for my case. He was professional, well dressed, and obviously did his home work charges dismissed! I could not have found a better man for the job! Thank you Joe I appreciate your honesty and integrity. Bravo!

Attorney Joseph A. Katz exceeds expectations from start to conclusion.

Mr. Katz handled two legal matters on my behalf. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it and worked, as much as he reasonably could, within my personal, financial parameters. I was looking at several felony violations.....today, I received confirmation that my original guilty... plea was changed to "not guilty," and all charges were dropped. I recommend him unconditionally.

Fantastic lawyer!

I would absolutely recommend this attorney if you are falsely accused of a crime! I hired Mr. Katz, he was very reasonably priced and he worked really hard on my case. He was never too busy to answer my questions, and he got me better results than I really expected. If I ever need a lawyer again, ...I will definitely hire Mr. Katz! I was so scared, but Mr. Katz really fought for me!

Two Thumbs Up

Working with Mr. Katz has been a real blessing. He is knowledgeable, professional, and very skilled in his profession. I would not hesitate to work with, or recommend Mr. Katz at any time. Mr. Katz helped me to understand and resolve all of the family and criminal law issues that I was faced with....

He handled my case exceptionally well. He did not judge who I used to be, seen who I was and fought for me. Really a great person to have backing you. Thank you Joe. I appreciate what you do.

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.
