one of the good ones!

I can't recommend Joe Katz highly enough. From the first time i called him, he called me right back without knowing anything about me or my financial situation & gave me a free consultation. I had just been served in a messy divorce & needed someone locally. He gave me very practical advice & once I ...decided to run with him, completely exceeded my expectations with how much attention he gave the particulars in my case & totally shined in the courtroom proceedings. A really down to earth guy but sharp as a razor in the courtroom! He really fought for me & it didn't cost me an arm & a leg. I couldn't be more satisfied with how things turned out & won't hesitate for a moment to use his services again. Fantastic job Mr. Katz!

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.
