About Elliott Ross
Elliott Ross Katz earned his J.D. from Widener University Delaware School of Law and built a practice that crosses both state and federal lines. He began his legal training in a classroom known for trial preparation and legal writing. That grounding shows in the kinds of courts where he is admitted to appear and the memberships he maintains.
He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He also holds admission to the United States Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Those admissions give him standing to handle matters that move between county courthouses and federal benches.
In 2023 he was associated with Ellis B. Klein & Associates. Public records list him at that firm in 2023. His professional path since law school has brought him into cases that require appearances in multiple jurisdictions and filings in both trial and appellate forums.
Katz is an active participant in the bar community. He holds memberships in the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the New Jersey State Bar Association. At the local level he is a member of the Montgomery County, Chester County and Bucks County bar associations. He also belongs to the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, an affiliation that aligns him with attorneys who handle criminal matters across the state.
Those memberships reflect the practical demands of his practice. He regularly handles criminal defense matters and related litigation in state courts. He also handles cases that proceed in federal district court and, when necessary, at the appellate level. Clients and colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing filings and attentive to procedural detail, particularly in cases that require coordination across county and federal dockets.
Katz’s courtroom appearances and filings have taken place in a mix of venues. He appears in Pennsylvania counties where he maintains associations, and he has handled matters in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. His admission to the Third Circuit and the nation’s high court means he can carry appeals beyond the trial courts when the work demands it.
He currently practices at Ellis B. Klein & Associates, where his work concentrates on criminal defense and related federal and state litigation.
