Jonathan Katz handles a wide range of divorce and matrimonial law cases, including:

Contested & Uncontested Divorce

  • Navigating a divorce with disagreements over custody, property, or finances?
  • Looking for a straightforward, amicable resolution?

Whether your divorce is highly contested or largely agreed upon, Jonathan Katz will guide you through each step of the legal process—from filing the initial paperwork to finalizing the judgment of divorce. He ensures that your rights are protected and your voice is heard.

Equitable Distribution & Property Division

New York is an equitable distribution state, which means marital assets are divided fairly—but not always equally. Disputes often arise around:

  • Homes and real estate
  • Retirement accounts and pensions
  • Business ownership
  • Marital debts

Jonathan Katz works closely with financial experts, when necessary, to ensure a thorough and accurate evaluation of your marital estate.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
I was living a nightmare of being falsely accused in a judicial system that considers all fathers to be dead beat dads until proven innocent. Living out of state and facing the possibility of jail, I miraculously found Jon’s website and called his office. Within a week the tables were turned, the lies were exposed, and the harassment was stopped. If you need someone that will challenge the system, then you need Jonathan Katz. Greg Weaver
★★★★★
Jon’s integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know what's important to you. You’re not just a number. He is upfront 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 that's 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 what's important to his clients. John Morrissey
★★★★★
Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting myself. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution. Diane Chiriani
★★★★★
Jon thinks well, works to be clear and honest. He works to get to a strong argument. He seems to have a good working relationship with everybody at the courthouse. I get the feeling he has no trouble thinking like a judge. He is friendly and courteous. He doesn't overbill. He takes and returns calls promptly. His legal staff is friendly and competent. What's not to like? Rick S.
★★★★★
I liked that there was always transparency throughout my case. Genevieve H.
