Biography

Stephen Katz is a seasoned legal advocate at The Katz Law Group LLC who brings a sophisticated, multi-state perspective to every case. With a background in finance from Georgia State University and a law degree from Mercer University, he has a sharp eye for the complex details that often define high-stakes litigation. Stephen’s reach is truly impressive, he is licensed in both Georgia and New York and is admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. His authority in the legal field is well-documented, as he has co-authored influential books on sexual harassment in employment and education. Stephen’s commitment to justice and equality isn't just a professional focus, it’s a career-long mission. This was recognized early on when Governor Zell Miller appointed him to the Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity in 1993. Whether he is navigating federal district courts or providing strategic counsel, Stephen uses his deep knowledge and decades of experience to protect his clients' livelihoods. He is the kind of attorney who understands the nuances of the law and knows exactly how to leverage that to get the best results.
