My criminal case with Mr. Jonathan

Mr.Jonathan represented me in a complex criminal matter. He was experienced on all levels of the process and able to expertly guide me through the presentation of an effective defense. He was supportive, honest and truly invested in making sure that my rights were protected. Mr. Jonathanwas passionat...e in my defense and compassionate with all impacted parties. He was thoughtful, decisive and able to guide me through a very difficult situation while demonstrating the highest level of ethics. His ability to present the facts, argue the salient points, relate to the Court were beyond all my expectation. I had thought my case was hopeless when I saw the witness and the police present at the same time, but Mr. Jonathan has magic! After he talked to the witness for a while, the witness agreed to dismiss my case. I can't even believe it! He solved my biggest problem which caused me nightmares for the past six months! He dismiss my case straight away! He 's very patient. He fought on my behalf from beginning to end and I simply could not have asked for better representation from an experienced criminal attorney. I actually had another case which is way more easier than this one, I hired another lawyer for me but it went so bad, I waited for long time and it didn't get dismissed. After this case, I transfer my first case to Mr. Jonathan because I trust him and I know we will have another good result! Beyond all, Mr. Jonathan has a true passion for the truth and for his clients. I would put my life in his hands...and I did. I would recommend that anyone in need of representation take the time to at least consult with Mr. Jonathan. He will work tirelessly for you.

The BEST criminal defense attorney I've ever had

I want the world to know about Jon Katz. Unfortunately, my review will not post on the other platform we all know and love, but this must be made clear. I've been in and out the court system for over 10 years. I'm an 11x felon with a record that would make your jaw drop. So I've seen it all. From... a wide range of lawyers to the outcomes they can provide... Or so I thought. About 6 months ago I got in trouble and was facing some serious time. Guidelines called for 2 - 3.5 years. Off the jump I was denied bond by the magistrate. Jon went for bond and though it was denied twice (due to this being a repeat offense and a misunderstanding that I had FTAs on my record (which I don't) but nonetheless, Jon pushed for a bond motion every day and on the 3rd try we got it. While out on bond, he assigned me "homework" as people like to call it. Do. What. Jon. Asks. I have never in my life beat a charge. And I am so used to taking plea deals, I forgot lawyers like Jon still exist who ACTUALLY fight for you. Immediately he starts looking for inconsistencies in the police report and finding the best possible defense. And boy did he find it. He brought what he knew up to the prosecutor who then offered me a deal of probation no jail time. Normally, I take plea deals. Nope, not with Jon. He said, "you're not taking that because you don't want time hanging over your head if you get in trouble. We're fighting this today." Sure enough, we go in and I saw what a true lawyer looks like. Do not judge what your eyes see because he's an entirely different person in court - a TRUE lawyer in the very sense. He fought and absolutely crushed the prosecution. He had the Judge looking at the prosecutor and arresting officer in disgust! I had 4 charges, all nolle prosequi'd. Thank you Jon a million times over. I have my life back and I am finally out of the system for the first time since I was 16.

Hugely popular writer and artist Dav Pilkey gave an amazing talk at the national book fair, about transcending those teachers who tried marginalizing him for his hyperactivity and urged that he was wasting his time creating comics. When we do not let ourselves be pigeonholed, we can soar. Your past practice of pleading guilty did not need to be part of your narrative with me, and look at the great outcome we got. All the best to you. Jon Katz

The BEST DUI/Criminal Lawyer You Can Get

I was in a difficult spot when I retained Jon's service as I had been charged with a DUI. Given the circumstances of my case, Jon was able to get charges reduced to reckless driving with no adverse license issues. Jon will definitely go to bat for and was the most positive experience I have had with ...a lawyer. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Jon's 25 + years of experience shows in his work

Jon was efficient, thorough and adaptable in order to get me the most favorable terms available for my case under very unfavorable circumstances. His casual demeanor is more a testament to his experience which shows in his detailed awareness of the law and potential outcomes in cases. My specific cas...e was was a DUI 2nd offense within 5 years and high BAC which carries very strict mandatory jail penalties, and license revocation. Come trial day Jon was able to take advantage of the situation by quickly negotiating a plea deal before giving the prosecuters team time to collaborate. My case was pled to a reckless driving with fine, and VA ASAP program with no driving restrictions whatsoever. I don't think many attorneys would have been quick on their feet enough to create that opportunity. Highly recommend Jon to serve your legal needs.

Yes, my calm approach to fighting like hell for my criminal and DWI clients is the same principle as in my t'ai chi ch'uan martial art. The idea is to not be rattled by anything while pursuing successful outcomes. Thank you for the opportunity to defend you and to achieve justice together. Jon Katz
