Why You Need to Protect Yourself With an Experienced Lawyer

New York is not a "no-fault divorce" state. A husband or wife seeking a divorce must have grounds for the marital dissolution. Living apart for a year, or "constructive abandonment," is construed to be grounds for a divorce. To that end, many couples opt to establish a separation agreement that clarifies the financial and legal responsibilities of each party during the year of separation preceding a divorce. In divorces involving high net worth, it is particularly important to protect your rights while negotiating your marital property settlement.

Elizabeth

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting my self. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution.

Jon's integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know whats important to you. You're not just a number. He is up front with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if thats truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for whats important to his clients.
