The Relentless Pursuit of Rational Justice

Jon Katz respresented me in a criminal charge resulting from a pending divorce. The complainant orchestrated a vicious campaign of revenge not only by filing a criminal complaint, but also with family members, my employment and elsewhere. During the course of the case, the complainant inflated the ci...rcumstances and lied to the prosecutor. Jon was unrelenting in his approach, and thorough in his preparation. I am convinced that Jon's work on my behalf was first and foremost focused on my best interests and also, moreover, on a fair and even handed conclusion regarding justice. Jon worked tirelessly, communicated effectively with the court, prosecutor, and me, and was prepared and responsive as the case matured. Jon devised a clear strategy and because of his efforts the court agreed to a reasonable and fair outcome for what had been the most taxing and embarassing event in my life. I have worked with a number of attorney's in my career and few would have cared as much, or expended the energy that Jon did. I highly recommend Jon, he is a bit uncoventional, and that trait makes him more effective than many other defense attorney's. If you are in need of a defense attorney, you want someone who will fight to win. Second place or a good try just doesn't cut it when your rights are on the line. Jon fought, worked, and was uncompromising in his efforts on my behalf.

Client Review

Jon is arguably the best criminal defense attorney in the DC metro area. I have been fortunate enough to have Jon in my corner in two separate cases. His experience, preparation, and passion for his clients puts him ahead of the competition. Job well done Jon.

No Such Thing as a 'Slam Dunk' Case

I thought the police had me for possession and I was in real trouble. I was sure there was no way out of this mess and realized that I need a good lawyer. Many attorneys would have said that the prosecution had a 'slam dunk' case and I would have to be at the court's mercy. But when I presented ...my case to Jon, he offered various alternative approaches and instantly formulated a strong, successful game plan. At trial, while other lawyers had no defense for the prosecutor's 'game,' Jon used his extensive legal experience and vast knowledge of the court system to reject the 'slam dunk' and achieve winning results. Jon Katz is the kind of lawyer you want representing you. He has a real passion for justice, your justice. He will make sure you are aware of all options available and take the time to explain the strengths and weaknesses of each. Simply put, Jon knows the system and how to make it work in favor of his clients.

Going to the Mattresses!

Jon was a great lawyer from the start. He got straight to business and even though he can seem harsh at times he does it for your benefit. He knows what he is doing since he has been practicing law around the area for 20+ years... He is comfortable with the surrounding court systems and the personnel... within them which helps when it comes to the court date. Also, whenever you had a question he would respond right away and would give you an itinerary for what is going to happen at court (or the prelim trial). He not only is a good lawyer, but a great guy-- I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for justice.
