“One of my greatest joys is to see people get a fair shake in life. Sometimes, this is easier said in the practice of law. At our office, we arm our clients with the facts, and then make every effort to exceed their expectations”.
I have been involved in the legal field since 1989 providing a wide range of litigation support on everything from large to small and diverse cases. I have assisted nearly in every phase of legal proceedings from pre-litigation consulting through discovery, motion practice, and the beginning of trial prep.
What Our Customers Say

I am not a very good writer, but if I were there would only be one word to describe the Law Offices of Elladene Lee Katz……”OUTSTANDING”. I would advise anyone in need of a Premier Attorney to contact the Law Office of Mrs. Katz.

As a previous client, I can say that Mrs. Katz and her staff shall, and will do everything and anything for their Clients. Mrs. Katz actually takes the time to talk with clients and give them her attention and help that they need. More so she is the most intelligent 
person I have ever met. I honestly felt relief after our first meeting.   Most Attorneys do not do that. Mrs. Katz did.  As I stated her level of intelligence of the “Law” is extreme. I am fortunate that she was my Attorney. It is my honor to endorse the Law Firm of Elladene Lee Katz. My wife and I have relocated from the SF Bay area and hope that Mrs. Katz expand's her offices to help the many people in need of her talented
services. Mrs. Katz is the ONLY Attorney I know of that treats her clients as friends
and not just "Clients".   That is rare to find from an Attorney. Mrs. Katz successfully won my case when NO other attorney would take it. In my opinion Mrs. Katz and her Staff are the BEST Law Firm in California, if not the Country !

Elladene and her team kept me updated and answered/returned all my call or emails. It’s not only how hard she works for you it’s how empowered and grateful you are as the case closes.

"It is my pleasure to write this review for Mrs. Elladene Lee Katz. Mrs. Katz is a woman who defines the true meaning of what an attorney should be. She is dedicated, knowledgeable, professional, and will work endless hours on your case until...

…justice is served. The experience I had with her reflected how she would explore all possibilities in your case and never rule out anything. There were no surprises she was always one step ahead. Her work ethic was purely outstanding. She always kept me abreast of what the status of my case was and asked me how I felt before any decisions were made concerning it. She provided what I expect from an attorney and that is communication, competence, ethics and fees. I have to say that I would be honored to recommend her to others for she is the epitome of what all attorneys should be.”

I highly recommend Elladene Katz! She will level the playing field for a client who needs legal representation in a difficult situation! I want to thank Elladene for assisting and guiding me through my employment dispute against my employer of nearly thirty years.

As a dedicated, exemplary, extremely productive and highly recognized employee for all of those years, I never, ever expected to be retaliated against, slandered and defamed by my employer due to my age and ethnicity. Elladene quickly assessed my situation and gave me extremely sound legal advice. I retained her and, with her representation, Elladene was able to settle my dispute with a satisfactory outcome. Elladene possesses an acute understanding and knowledge of employment law. She is extremely detail oriented and an active and intense listener with exceptional memory retention who takes very copious, detailed notes. She ensured that the discriminatory treatment that I was subjected to by my employer was accurately and clearly conveyed. MORE importantly, Elladene is a genuine person with great empathy and a BIG heart! She was a constant pillar of support that gave me CONIFDENCE and INSPIRED me! She was ALWAYS available to answer questions or give me a pep talk when doubt crept into my thoughts! Elladene is driven to uphold the law and is willing to work hard to make sure that her client gets the best help possible and in a timely way!

"It is my pleasure to write this review for Elladene Katz. I had a difficult and serious situation at work recently. I met with Elladene and she listened to my situation and understood immediately what was transpiring. Elladene took the time to explain...

…my legal rights and at the same time took a personal interest in my well-being.  Elladene fought hard for me and I had complete trust in her.  Elladene was my saving grace and I will always be extremely grateful.  I highly recommend Elladene.”

I have had the pleasure of being a client of Mrs. Elladene Lee Katz for almost three years now. I had a rather sensitive and delicate situation that I was involved in and no one else would help me. However, God sent me an angel in Mrs. Katz. She was very...

…kind, considerate, attentive and extremely knowledgeable. She is truly a credit to her profession. She is the epitome of what all lawyers should be especially in such a profession where many receive criticism. That my friends within itself speaks in volumes and she is indeed a diamond in the rough. She worked countless hours to resolve my case and to see that justice was served. I can’t say enough about her throughout all of it we established such great rapport and we are friends and I must say that I am blessed to have her in my life. And lastly, from my personal experience with her I know Mrs. Katz did not serve for personal glory, but instead for the good of all humanity. She speaks for those who have no voice, works for peace, justice and equality. Therefore, it is without hesitation that I highly recommend her if you want the best and someone who truly cares.”
