James Katz was my lawyer for a very difficult divorce. He is very professional and managed to get everything I asked for, and more. Most lawyers wouldn't have even attempted to win my specific case, but he knew when to push and when to wait. It was a long and very contentious divorce that took over a year to complete. He made the process so much easier by explaining all the options and taking the time to listen to what I wanted to accomplish for me and my children, and he got the job done. Even today, several years later, his office was very courteous and helpful when I needed some copies of my divorce decree and didn't even charge me for their time. I highly recommend James Katz for anyone who needs an attorney. James and his entire team has been very supportive and professional during one of the most difficult times of my life.

I've have used Attorney Katz as my sole lawyer since 2010. Words cannot describe how much he has helped me with my difficult case. He was extremely thorough, tenacious and driven for the best interest of my son. I am forever grateful for his services and I quite often recommend him to friends or acquaintances who are going through the same situation in family court. He is easy to work with, very honest, helpful and knowledgeable while having patience and understanding. Works for you every step of the way no matter what time of the day or how difficult your situation may be.
