In Memoriam: Ronald S. Katz — Founding Partner
Ronald Katz practiced law for nearly fifty years. After extensive civil trial experience, he devoted his career to estate planning, elder law, business transactions, and real estate.
He received his Juris Doctor from the University of Denver in 1964, was licensed in California in 1965, and earned his California real estate broker license in 1980.
Ronald served as Judge Pro Tem with the Superior Court of California and as an arbitrator in hundreds of civil cases. His legacy lives on in the firm and in the families he served.
