Katzman Estate Law maintains a results-based approach to estate law. Whatever must be done to advance and strengthen a case will be done with as much speed as the court system will allow. Moreover, on an initial phone call, a potential client will be given an overview of the law governing their case, a plan for their matter, and a timeline for first steps. It is important to us that each of our clients understands what we plan to do for them. We value our clients’ time, speak plainly, and get to the point.
The majority of the work at Katzman Estate Law is done on an hourly basis. We do not charge our clients for stamps, stationary, long distance calls, internal printing, or any other administrative expense. That is our cost of doing business. Our clients pay for legal representation, not paper. We accept payment by e-transfer, bank draft, and online credit card.
We are willing to take some cases on contingency. Contingency arrangements allow us to share some of the risk and success with our clients by using a fee based on a percentage of what is received by a client. If a lengthy investigation is required to appraise a file, or if the first steps involve extracting documents from someone unwilling to provide them, a file may start hourly and then convert into a contingency fee matter.
“Eric Katzman very quickly put my mind at ease by answering all my questions and giving me advice on how to handle a very difficult family death situation. All during a free, telephone consultation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his firm to anyone else.” — A Google review by a satisfied client
