Great advice from a great attorney

I am an attorney, practicing in the state of Georgia, and called Jon about an issue that a family member was working through in Virginia. Jon not only took the time to explain the legal hurdles associated with post—conviction expungements in Virginia, but he suggested a creative solution to help my f...amily member without asking for anything in return. As a fellow attorney, I eagerly recommend Mr. Katz as a knowledgeable, honest, and thoughtful counselor.

Master of defense!

Jon is an absolute master of his craft with a passion to defend his clients! I was unjustly charged with drunk in public at a national airport for wearing a world cup jersey and "smelling of alcohol." My airline refused my boarding and called the police and without any questioning, I was arrested per...fectly sober. Jon fought for me in court and took my drunk in public case all the way to trial where he hammered the arresting offer for not offering me any sort of intoxication test and for not displaying any drunk in public attributes. It is unheard of to be found not guilt of a drunk in public, yet Jon knew my innocence and knew I was unjustly arrested. Jon is such a kind man and takes his cases very personally. No matter how small or large your case, Jon will get you the results you need and I highly recommend him for his unbelievable experience and for being a master of his craft. There is no lawyer like Jon and you can count on him to keep you informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. Jon is the man and I can't thank him enough for having my found not guilty under a jury trial and beating the unjust system!

Best Lawyer!

Jon is the best lawyer you can find. I hired Jon after getting arrested for a DUI and then two months later was arrested again for another alcohol related offense. I thought there would be no way out of this situation, and that my future was ruined. From the beginning Jon was open and honest and I f...elt he would do everything to get the best possible outcome for me. He and his staff were always available for me. Jon also gave me homework to do while preparing for my court dates. I trusted Jon and followed his direction by completing all the homework he assigned. At the same time he clearly communicated possible outcomes and his plan of attack. He was able to give me the confidence that I needed to face an unknown future. Jon knows how the court system works, and for my cases, Jon entered the Fairfax County Courthouse thoroughly prepared and used this to his tactical advantage in representing me. For each of my court dates, Jon was fully prepared and ready to fight for me. My DUI charge was dismissed and the other charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. Jon literally saved my future. As others have said: DO what he recommends you do to prepare so he can fight for you. Have belief in him and respect his decisions, recommendations and gut feeling on how to proceed. He leaves no stone unturned in fighting for your future. His staff is excellent as well.

Thank you for commenting. I love both battling for justice for my clients, and seeing the positive difference that my efforts often make in my clients' lives. Kudos and thanks to you for keeping up hope as we fought together for a favorable result in your cases.

Look no further

Mr. Katz is very capable and a great choice in any legal battle. From the beginning, you know exactly what tactics will be used at court. Do his homework, that will set above the others in the eyes of the prosecutor. He is knowledgeable of all judges and prosecutors and knows how to talk to them. He ...replies immediately to all calls and emails. I had two drug charges at once: one misdemeanor and one felony, he fought so the felony charges were not brought in the first place not the first charge later dismissed, saving my reputation!

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It was a true pleasure representing you. Yes, my suggested action plan for clients (in drug cases including community service and entering a drug program) can make a significant difference in case negotiations. When I talk with prosecutors, I see them not as opponents but as people I can persuade and with whom I can identify mutually overlapping interests. Negotiating from a position of trial readiness helps achieve better negotiation results, and leaves us always battle ready if a trial becomes the best path.

Katz is A+

Mr. Katz is a great attorney. I hired him after searching for someone that I thought was going to help me out the best way possible. Mr. Katz got my case dropped from a reckless driving to an illegal use of equipment. Which was a blessing. Mr. Katz is gold. Every step of the way he explains everythin...g very well and makes sure you understand every inch of the process. Mr. Katz has a passion for what he does and you can tell that; most attorneys are not as passionable as he is.

Thanks for commenting. My passion and thrill for defending people accused of crimes burns as strongly as when I started practicing criminal defense over 25 years ago. All the best to you.
