I will be singing Jon's praises for a long time. I got very lucky when I found Jon on the internet. Jon saved me from a huge embarrassment and a DWI (with refusal) in VA. I totalled my Harley and got a DWI/refusal to submit to the breathalyzer. Jon worked the system back and forth until he got the St...ate's Attorney to agree with our terms.I was so scared but he was confident yet didn't over promise. He was so caring and still a bulldog in court. He loves what he does and it shows. My results were so much better than others that were in the court room with lesser charges! He even walked around with me after court to each required meeting. A HUGE kuddos to him.

I was facing a first-time DUI charge in VA with a BAC of > .15, which, if convicted, meant I would serve mandatory five-day jail time. As someone who’d previously never even had so much as a speeding ticket, I was frightened out of my mind. After researching extensively online, I contacted Mr. Ka...tz and knew from the moment I met him that I would be hiring him as my attorney. Right away, he put me at ease and lessened my feelings of embarrassment regarding the incident. Ultimately, my trial date was set for ~ 4 months after the initial arrest, and Jon kept me informed and answered my endless queries very patiently and expeditiously. On the date of my court appearance, I was a nervous wreck, and nearly accepted the Prosecutor’s initial offer to accept a lesser charge DUI (reducing the BAC to < .15), which still would have carried a one-year suspended license, ASAP education requirement, fines, and possible ignition interlock system. Thank goodness the Prosecutor didn’t accept our counter offer for a Reckless Driving charge with two days’ jail time because if he had, I’d be far worse off than I am today. Jon patiently explained that I had little to lose by taking the matter to trial and I realized that my best bet was to let Jon do what I’d hired him to do. In the end, he obtained a “not guilty” verdict from the judge after shredding the arresting officer’s testimony (the officer’s testimony differed significantly from his police report of the incident) and getting the BAC test results excluded from the evidence. Jon worked a miracle for me – one for which I will be forever grateful! If you’re facing a DUI charge in MD or VA, don’t look anywhere else – just call Jon Katz!

Jon Katz provides phenomenal criminal defense. He has extensive knowledge of the law and unprecedented dedication to each case. Mr. Katz is well prepared, well versed and tactical in the court room. In my experience, he created an honest, comfortable, confidential, professional relationship; whic...h put my mind at ease because I knew that I had chosen the right lawyer to represent me. I strongly recommend Mr. Jon Katz.

Mr. Katz is a gifted defense attorney. He has my highest recommendation to be your defense attorney. He represented me twice, in VA and MD courts, twice for charges with more than a year jail time possible, and obtained better than I expected results. He lived up to his reputation (according to m...y former attorney who recommended him) as the go-to lawyer for difficult cases. The first time it might have been luck or a lenient court, but the second time he also obtained superior results. He works hard, pays meticulous attention to the details to prepares his arguments well covering all the bases with what he has. Possibly more important is that he thinks very fast on his feet, and has a smooth, compelling, charismatic court presence. Based on more than 15 years of daily work experience with (and for, in several instances) many lawyers at all levels - including top grads from top schools, top clerks at all levels, work on my cases with several defense attorneys, and personal acquaintances with lawyers at all levels, he is on par with the best in the legal profession, and heads and shoulders above his peers.

Jon did an awesome job for me!! my case was simple DUI but my situation was so complicated. I am not American, got arrested during a short visit here in D.C, missed my court dates since I couldn't stay longer for my first court appearance because I was scheduled to return to my home country. So I en...ded up completely missing my court dates and was unable to return to the U.S. It was such a complicated situation for me and I didn't know how to fix everything, so I started to look for a lawyer. First thing that lead me to Jon is that he speaks more than one language. At first he seemed a little unsympathetic to me, but I realized he was only being objective and looking at my situation how the court would look at me. So there was no misunderstanding on my end of what I was dealing with, which could have had a very bad ending for me. Jon introduced me to another immigration lawyer that handled me being able to get back to the u.s. without being stopped at customs and going to jail. Than once I was here, Jon scheduled all of my court hearings and used all of the advantages possible to help with my case. He made sure the court treated me fairly and that they fulfilled all of there responsibilities to me as a defendant without any hardship for me. He knows how to exploit any holes in the case the prosecutor has, and also knows how to take your situation to higher levels of appeal or put in requests that are above the courts level. For the most part the court never wants to mess with the paperwork, so it helps get what we want to happen to benefit me. He even picked me up and dropped me off at my house one time for one of the court hearings because had transportation problems. It was nice not having to coordinate all of the aspects of my case after I retained Jon. He even got a court appointed interpreter for me free of charge even though my English is good. But it helped cause than I didn't have to talk much, and they left all the questions to Jon. So to put a long story short, I had a warrant for my arrest for failure to appear, A DUI charge, and i was looking at a possible year in jail, alcohol program classes, and many fines. After Jon's help, I was given no jail time, no alcohol classes, my warrant was dismissed, and I only had to pay less than $600 fine and 3 years unsupervised probation. Before Having Jon as my lawyer, I was overwhelmed and felt like I was stuck in a black box trying to find my way out. He helped me get out of that situation so I could move on with my life!!! Thanks again Jon.. you have no idea how much I appreciate everything you did for me.
