I highly recommend Deborah Katz. I needed a lawyer to represent me for my divorce. Upon our first meeting, I knew she was in my corner and I could trust her to give me the very best advice and representation. She was very honest and competent and her office personnel were also very helpful. Along with her knowledge and advice, she was very conscientious about not milking me of my money. She was very straightforward and was able to come to an agreement with my ex and his attorney in a very reasonable amount of time… less than a year! Deborah Katz is the very best!!

I was in a long, drawn out, extremely difficult divorce. It took Deborah Katz just a few months to finally resolve everything that my initial attorney could not handle in 3 years. I only wish I were referred to Deborah Katz from the very beginning. Deborah is compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable and aggressive (when she needs to be). I highly recommend Deborah Katz!

I hired Attorney Katz after mediation failed in an emotionally complex case. Her vast experience, knowledge, and thoughtful advice positioned me to be able to settle the divorce in a far better financial position than would have resulted from mediation. The other party spent tens of thousands of dollars more on a large firm and in the end the settlement was 100% equitable. I feel that I received tremendous value from my investment in retaining Katz Legal Group.

I was very grateful to have Attorney Katz represent me during my divorce. She is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled at her job. An excellent communicator who always gets the point across and is a true advocate on your behalf. She knew every aspect of my case inside and out and presented very strong arguments in court. Even more admirable was her personable nature and professionalism. She was highly sympathetic, easy to communicate with, and readily available. She quickly responded to my calls and helped me get through some stressful times, even during weekends and outside of office hours. When it comes to hiring a lawyer, there is no one I would recommend more highly!!

I've been working with Deborah for 3.5 years now on a very difficult divorce. Deb's approach is to be sure her clients are always doing the right thing (and she'll tell you if she thinks you're not being reasonable). Deb is also very fair. That doesn't mean she's a wallflower, the opposite - she will fight for her clients. Deb also knows a ton of people in the industry - this is very helpful and you want someone who is connected and Deb is. But I think the part that makes Deb a really great lawyer is that she truly cares about her clients. She's not the type of lawyer that is just out churn a file and make money, she legitimately wants to help people.

Deborah did a great job with my divorce. She was prepared, knowledgeable and responsive during what was a stressful period for me. She listened to my requests and concerns - something that not all attorneys do well. I recommend Deborah wholeheartedly.

I had the pleasure and reassurance of having Deborah on my side during my divorce. I'm an attorney in a different practice area, so my expectations for legal representation are quite high. Deborah exceeded them. She was thorough, even-tempered, calm, detailed and savvy in representing my interests. I would highly recommend her.

I hired Attorney Katz to represent me in a very contentious divorce. I knew I was going to need a sharp and powerful attorney and it was apparent to me during our first meeting that Deborah fit the bill. While her warmth and compassion helped me through times of intense stress, she was the consummate professional in the courtroom. She was organized and eloquent, with a keen eye for detail. Every time I reached out to her she was always very prompt in responding to me. I am forever grateful to Deborah for helping me to navigate a very difficult time in my life and for helping me to secure my financial future.
