Excellent professional service. Matt Linstroth ably served as my advocate, while always keeping watch of the goal; a peaceful just settlement. He maintained a positive attitude and gave good sound advice. Had we known that the opposing side had been secretly reading our confidential emails, we may have obtained the normal 50/50 split rather than the resulting 47/53 split. The opposing side made good use of inside information to repeatedly negotiate an agreement and then retract and demand more. Matt characterized their actions as frustrating and less than principled. It was only after sending Matt an email stating that I had enough of this behavior and was ready to wait for our court date that the agreement was reached and honored. Had Matt dealt with an opposing side that played by the rules, I certainly could have had a better outcome. Knowing now what we were dealing with, I am all the more grateful to have had him as my advocate.

Zachary Kafoglis handled my case with a great deal of integrity. I never felt alone in my quest for full custody of my children. Zach was prepared for each and every step along the way and made me feel 100% comfortable. As a 50/50 father and with all the odds stacked against me, Katz & Stefani persevered and I ended up with full custody. I would recommend Zach and this firm to anyone looking for the right legal representation.
Andre Katz has been my lawyer for over 20 years. During that time, he has handled many difficult and trying situations for me with compassion, professionalism, and the utmost in skill. Andre has truly been in the trenches with me. The lawyers that work with Andre are also highly skilled. Amanda Clayman is awesome. I cannot say enough good things about Katz & Stefani. They are best in class.
Terri Brieske has been a wonderful attorney to work with. She was my divorce attorney and not only did she do a wonderful and thorough job guiding me (patiently) through the process, she checked in with me periodically after the divorce and went out of her way to help when an issue came up years later! She truly cares about her clients, and is a great person inside and out. I would highly recommend her and her firm for your legal needs.
I am so thankful for my lawyer, Terri Brieske, who helped me through a variety of challenging, post decree issues. Terri made me feel like her most important client, all the time. She was available when I really needed her (which was a lot). Not only was she relentless and fierce in her pursuit to get my issues resolved - she could also be witty and calm during some stressful times making the whole process easier.
Compassionate and intelligent is how I sum up Terri Brieske. During the course of my divorce Terri was there for me at all times. Her knowledge for law is off the charts and I highly recommend her. Terri was extremely detailed explaining everything that was happening, always kept me calm and positive. She is beyond great and I am very pleased for all of her hard work and devotion while representing me.
