Jon will save you

I got pulled by Dulles airport goon from the Republic of Georgia who decided to end my life for speeding, you know Soviet style. He slapped me with Reckless and a DUI and promised that I won't see light of day. We searched and searched for a lawyer and settled on Jon Katz. Well,suffice it to say tha...t Jon, the magician, got me out of it with minimal damage and no DUI. His charm, ability to organize, knowledge of the law were unparalleled. Every lawyer will promise you the world but Jon promised nothing and only delivered. That ordeal was horrowing, but Jon got me out of it at the Prelim hearing so my life can go back to normal fairly quickly. Don't drink and drive folks, they will screw you royally.

Best one you can find

Mr. Katz is definitely the best one you can find for your DUI case. I first got a DWI charge in Virginia, and I was really freaked out. However, Jon helped out and offered lots of solutions not only as a professional expert but also a supportive friend! In the end, my dwi charge in Virginia became re...ckless driving. This result truly saves my career path! FYI: I am from Asia, and Mr. Katz totally understands and respects my culture. He is the one that you can BELIEVE!

The best!

Jon Katz defended me on a dui case. He was informative and responsive through out the whole process. He got the ball rolling on what I needed to be doing before the court date and kept me informed the entire time. He was confident and very knowledgable about everything. The best part, he got my dui d...ropped to a wreck less driving! I was ecstatic! Still am. I might add, my case seemed almost impossible to not get convicted of a dui. Best lawyer ever! I will be recommending him to everyone!

Top-notch trial attorney

Jon got a good result on a DUI/refusal to blow trial involving a collision -- after examining the arresting officer, the prosecutor accepted our offer of pleading down to reckless and refusal. This is apparently very rare in DUIs involving a collision. The prosecutors are generally unwilling to give... such a deal in such cases. I attribute this result to Jon's talent and preparation. Jon was generally responsive to emails and calls within a day, and his staff are on point. His demeanor and experience calmed me and inspired confidence in his abilities, and I speak on this point as a fellow lawyer. His courtroom demeanor set him apart from other attorneys. I probably saw four other attorneys argue DUIs on my court date, and Jon made each of them seem amateurish and unprepared. I recommend Jon without reservation, and had an overwhelmingly positive experience in his representation of me.

Works miracles, reduced DWI charge in very strict area.

I was convicted of a DWI after retaining the services of a local attorney (not Katz) near the area where I was charged. This lawyer was horrible, and did not work with any effort on my case for me to have an adequate and fair defense. So now my only options were to accept this conviction that would t...arnish my professional record and limit my career opportunities or appeal this conviction. I am glad I chose the latter option, and looked for a lawyer that would give me my best chance of reducing this conviction. I knew this was an uphill battle because I heard the appeals judge was even tougher on DWI charges. I searched the internet for the best lawyer in the DC area, and came across this website. I saw Katz had a perfect rating, had amazing reviews (seemed a little too good to be true, but they were.) So, I called him and could tell from the start he means absolute business, does not give any BS. After consulting with many other lawyers, I felt Katz was my best option. It was. On the day of the hearing, Katz was already talking with local lawyers to get some inside information. He was working, reading, talking with me the whole time prior to the hearing. Then the hearing starts, he goes up to the judge and talks with him...a few minutes later my charge is dropped from DWI to reckless. I was willing to accept harsher penalties to get this DWI off my record, which might have helped. But I remember the prosecution was shocked, and very caught off guard that this just happened so quickly. Overall, I am glad I found Katz, and got the best results I could ask for given my situation.
