I normally wouldn’t post anything like this, but I felt it in my spirit to do so. I was looking through my stuff and I saw some important documents of when I filed for my divorce. I had the BEST law firm and the BEST lawyer ever. Philip Katz that was you! GOD blessed me immensely, when He led me to you and your firm 11 years ago 🙏🏾. I just wanted to say thank you once again. I'm forever grateful for/ to Philip!!

Philip had a great wealth of not just knowledge, but also insight, into family law. After discussing the specifics of my situation, he was able to discern what the outcome would likely be. He was spot on. Philip was also responsive to my questions and actually tried to have me save money by compiling my questions rather than peppering him one at a time. I highly recommend Philip!

Working with Philip was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was dealing with a divorce modification regarding parenting time and child support, and my case spiraled into unnecessary complexities while working with another attorney. I called Philip and in less than 3 months, he was able to button everything up and it ended exactly the way I hoped. His knowledge and experience is key to his efficiency, and his tactful communication skills are unparalleled. Philip was always very responsive, and told me exactly what I could expect. He seemed to always be 2 steps ahead of opposing counsel. He knows the laws, he knows many attorneys, he knows the judges...he simply knows what he's doing. He's the guy you want sitting next to you.

Intelligent. Strategic. Professional. I'm grateful I was referred to Philip and his team. I couldn't have asked for a better experience in such a tough and uncharted time in my life. From start to finish, Philip's support and expertise exceeded my expectations. Regardless of the outcome, I feel that he did everything he possibly could and he left me with no regrets. Thanks Philip!

In November 2017 I met with Philip Katz to explore the possibility of obtaining grandparent visitation rights with my grandson. His professionalism and knowledge of Nebraska law and other legal matters pertinent to filing a complaint for visitation made me feel confident in his ability to assist me to achieve my goal. He clearly described the supporting documentation that I needed to provide and the timeline and actions he would take to, hopefully, obtain a positive outcome. Unexpected family circumstances occurred that, over time, permitted me to see my grandson. While these personal matters were being resolved it was necessary to put a hold on, and later a request to dismiss, the action for grandparent visitation. In addition to Philip’s professional manner, I greatly appreciated his clear guidance and advice, his nonjudgmental attitude, kindness, reassurance throughout the process.

Going through a divorce is something I would not wish on my worst enemy! Regardless of how you came to this point you must find a lawyer who can understand what is truly important to you. This is the most important first step. You then have to assess whether or not this person is willing and capable to meet you where you are and to address your needs. look no further!!! Read this whole post, but look no further! Philip was my second attorney, yes I said second! It is only because his referral came after the time I needed to hire my first attorney. From the initial visit to final detail. Philip listened to my concerns and was prepared with the qualified team and resources to move my divorce forward in the manner needed. While he was honest with me that there were things done by my previous attorney that were some of the same things he would have done. He was able to move past that and share how he would proceed and who he would engage as a part of the team to make the changes needed on my divorce. Philip's connections, respect from his peers, collaboration with other attorneys, push for experts and overall drive to make certain that the outcome was what I needed for me and my family was is ultimately what set him apart from others. I interviewed 3 attorneys and put them all through the ringer of questions regarding legal situations, case law, study/evaluations, and true grit. Philip exceeded my expectations in the initial meeting. Shortly after bringing Philip onto my case, it was apparent that we were not going to go through the motions and that he saw things for what they were and began to "right the ship"! Ultimately, my case went to trail. It was not because we wanted it too but because we had too. This is where Philip again set himself apart. The countless hours of preparation. The attention to detail. The chess match was on and during trial Philip was prepared for everything the other side had and then some. The divorce process is the most agonizing thing a person can go through. You must have the right legal team to achieve your desired outcome. You need someone who knows the law and when to use it in your favor. Philip did this and engaged expert psychologists, forensic accountants, and the correct blend of witnesses to support our case. What you need in a lawyer is not someone who wants to "win at all costs"! What you need is someone who will be empathetic when needed and to be level headed at all times because you yourself will get in your own way (it's inevitable, it happens) and want to make decisions in an emotional state and Philip didn't allow that happen and he also told when I was fighting for something that just didn't make sense. Lastly, going through a divorce is complicated, emotionally and mentally exhausting. You can not afford to just roll over and accept terms from the other party that are not equitable terms. The money I spent throughout this process it extremely painful, however the long term ramifications of a bad deal far outweigh the short term financial pain! It was and is worth every penny!!! Respectfully, Matt

I have rarely needed a lawyer, so it was a little intimidating at the beginning. Philip Katz and his team made it very easy and convenient. They answered all of my possible questions and helped guide me through the entire process. He was very timely in getting all of the paper work completed and submitted. He assisted and helped me determine the best possible outcome for my situation. He brought up many points that I didn't even think of. He made a very stressful and uncomfortable situation as easy and good as it possible could be. Thank you again Philip for all of your help and assistance!

I want to personally recommend Philip Katz to anyone in the Omaha metro who is looking for a professional, intelligent, and caring divorce lawyer. I have lived in Omaha for over 50 years and I have hardly recommended anyone for any public services in all of that time. Philip understands the complex issues with a divorce when children are involved and two lawyers are trying to get the most for their clients. A lawyer with common sense and a level headed approach is very important when you are going through a divorce. Many years of experience help , of course, but Philip had the integrity and compassion before he gained the years experience working with couples going through the divorce process. I have personally worked with thousands of clients over the last 30 years, and few professionals have the integrity of Philip Katz. Unfortunately, you can do a whole lot worse in Omaha choosing a divorce lawyer, but you really can't do any better than Philip Katz.

I feel very fortunate to have had Philip represent and help guide through an extremely strenuous situation. Philip was very empathetic and kept my child's and families well being in mind throughout the court proceedings. Philip is, understanding and most importantly honest. From our initial meeting my Fiancé and I felt comfortable and knew that we could trust Philips knowledge, expertise and ethics. I highly recommend Philip!

I couldn't have asked for a more supportive attorney during a difficult time in my life. Philip was great at explaining how the system works, especially as it pertained to my case. He was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls, which did a lot to put me at ease. Above all, he is a compassionate and understanding person who genuinely cares about the welfare of his clients. I never felt like I was just one of his cases. I would highly recommend Philip to others in need of this service.

Professional, responds to questions quickly, knows what he is doing

I have hired Philip three times in the past four years. He first represented me when I filed for divorce in 2013. I live 1000 miles away in another state, but that was no obstacle in working with him. He was always promptly responsive to any communication needs I had. He is very personable, but can really direct you to stay on task, which I sometimes needed when I felt overwhelmed and discouraged. The seasoned judge who presided at the divorce told me I had been well-represented. Because I decided to pay off my mortgage, mostly with money from the divorce settlement, my ex-husband sued me a year later to modify or eliminate alimony. Once again Philip guided me expertly through this upsetting process, culminating in a trial, which we won. Philip's skill and confidence in the courtroom helped my nerves tremendously. Unfortunately, my ex appealed the court's decision, so now I am in the final stages of this appeal. Philip has written a good, concise brief for the Court of Appeals, citing case law when appropriate. My ex-husband has hired three different attorneys during these proceedings, while I have worked exclusively with Philip. His energy and determination have given me strength when I was often scared and unsure about how things would work out. Philip is a very fine attorney who really cares about his clients. I am now finished with the appeals case my ex-husband filed. Philip again won this case for me on appeal and I was awarded attorney fees as well. I have every confidence in Philip as a divorce attorney and highly recommend him.
