What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently report attentive legal work and staff who explain matters clearly. One significant complaint involves an attorney's departure that derailed a client's case, though most praise Mr. Katzenstein and current staff for professionalism and reasonable fees.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
