I've written and deleted my review so many times, worrying that I was overstating the ABSOLUTE VALUE that Harvey Katz Law Office provides, but I don't think so. If you had the misfortune of sustaining injuries in a car accident, the first and only law firm you should think about is the Harvey Katz firm. I belong to a close ethnic community where Harvey Katz's name floats along the halls of our homes, churches and social centers like a prayer. He is a well-loved legend and it was my cousin who, in a split second, recommended this firm. Every step of the way, I was treated with the utmost respect
