7 years later

In 2010 I made a huge mistake and wound up with a DWI. Thankfully I hired Jon Katz and he went to work and got the DWI reduced to reckless driving and kept me out of jail. 7 years later I was filing out some forms on a background check and needed advice on answering a question and Jon didn't hesit...ate to give me the answers I needed. If you're looking for a lawyer who gets results and will be responsive even after the case is long closed look no further than Jon Katz. The biggest mistake you can make is not hiring this man.

JON KATZ is the MAN!!!!!!!!

So let's take it back to the very first time I met with Mr. Katz....... I am a MD resident who was arrested and accused of a DWI while being under the age of 21 in VA. I was absolutely clueless about what my rights were and exactly what kind of help I could get with my circumstances. The very first t...ime I met with Jon he professionally explained exactly what it was he could do for me and what the possible outcomes were. He never promised anything and always keep it realicstic which I appreciated. Many other attorneys I looked at seemed to sugar coat things but Jon keep it 100% straight forward/the point with his knowledge on cases such as mine. I decided to hire him right then and there. So the first trial I had the prosecutor wouldn't budge and drop my case down to a wreckless driving which is what Jon and I had agreed on. This made me very uneased so Jon talked it out with me and we decided to continue my case and try for another prosecuter. My second trial Jon worked his magic and was able to get my charges dropped down from driving while intoxicated to driving wreckles!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!! He also was able to fight until the very end with my driving restrictions and got me the exact thing that I wished for!!!!! If I ever again need an attorney Jon Katz is THE MAN...... if my friends need an attorney I will tell them Jon Katz is the MAN..... literally jumping for joy because of Jon! You will not regret hiring him!

Great Lawyer!

When I first met him I had the feeling that he is the right person who can help me out. I couldn't say I was worried about trial, but because of Jon I had less pressure. He pulls out some magical skill when he talks to prosecutor. Before the trial, I have no idea what he said to prosecutor but I bet ...it was something amazing that the prosecutor offered RAC driving. He takes care his people like his family. I highly recommand to hire Mr. Katz if you got arrested for DUI.

Thanks for your input. Once a person is arrested, it is time to proceed forward, without potential adverse outcomes blinding the defense to the potentially beneficial outcomes nor creating obstacles on the road to justice. Be well. Jon

The Best Lawyer in Fairfax

I was very grateful to have Jon Katz as my attorney. He represented me successfully on a DUI and several alcohol related charges that could have put me in jail as a convicted felon, a concern that caused great anxiety. I shouldn't have feared, though. When Jon is in a courtroom, he absolutely owns it... with his confidence and presence of mind. He is, of course, a brilliant, experienced attorney and at the very top of his game... his exceptional reviews are 100% accurate, from my own experience. When you walk into court room and see the row of police officers, the prosecutors and the judge and the indifference of "the system" towards you, you will not regret that you have Jon's strength and power on your side. Fighting on the side of the better angels of our nature; one of the most competent people at their profession I've ever met. Our community is very lucky to have an attorney of this caliber available for hire in our area.

Great Attorney and great guy

Hire him if you want a savvy lawyer who is willing to fight to the end for you. Someone who is up front and works hard to get you the best outcome possible. Jon made a horrible process easier to handle. I came to him with a DWI charge and he instantly made me feel like he was ready to fight for me. H...e is not only concerned with winning your case, he genuinely cares about you. In the beginning he went to court and got me off probation for the time period before my trial. When it looked like all hope was lost he negotiated a plea deal which kept me from serving jail time. He fought for me all the way. Arlington county is one of the toughest counties for DUI/DWI cases and somehow he managed a plea deal. He is great at what he does and I highly recommend him. If you need someone to be by your side from day one and to fight for you he is your guy. He won't make promises he can't keep. The one promise he will make is that he is here for you. My family and I were devastated when I made the mistake of getting a DWI but upon meeting him he eased our fears and the day in court we all were able to breathe a sigh of relief thanks to him. He is a great guy and an even better lawyer. Do yourself a favor and hire him!
