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 ...
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.

Excellent Lawyer
John Katz is a very good lawyer, he is aggressive and real go-getter when it counts. I was charged with possession of marijuana and even admitted that it was mine to the cop when I was charged and Katz was still able to get the case dismissed with absolutely no community service time. He was able to ...
Thanks for posting your insights. Actual and potential criminal suspects should not talk with police; however, many do. Few criminal cases involve my not working with this and/or other significant obstacles. Nonetheless, in pursuing victory, we work to minimize and even neutralize the obstacles and to stay on the path of obtaining as much success as possible. As you saw with your case, this obstacle did not prevent obtaining the dismissal of your case.

Lifesaver
I hired Jon after getting arrested for a second DWI within five years and possession of marijuana. When I thought there would be no way out of this impossible situation, Jon's knowledge of the law and persistence saved my life. He was able to get my possession charge dropped and second DWI dropped to...
Thanks for posting about your case, and for refusing to throw in the towel in the face of the unpleasant outcome that would have resulted if convicted on the original charges. That persistence paid off with your case outcome. All the best to you. Jon

Marijuana Case
I was looking for a lawyer who won't just show up to court and have me interviewed for the 251 program. That is not something I wanted to do since the 251 program won't allow you to expunge the possession of marijuana case. Found Jon Katz through a friend who told me he's the best in the business. Pr...
Thanks for your kind words. You honored me by giving me the opportunity to beat the 251 option. Marijuana needs to be legalized throughout the land. Until then, each pot prosecution must be fully defended.

A lawyer who believes in what he is doing
If you are charged with a crime in Virginia, you want a lawyer who understands the plight of the criminal defendant, and who believes that he is fighting on the side of justice. This devotion to criminal defense drives Jon to work as hard as I have ever seen anyone work. He truly loves his job, and t...
Thanks for your feedback. The teamwork between me and my clients is so very important. Along the way, I very much enjoy the human interaction with the people I defend. All the best to you as you proceed forward. Jon
