First off - Jon is a very affable person who makes you feel at ease when explaining your situation. He is non-judgmental, does not look down you or the situation and warms up to you pretty quick thereby putting you at ease and allowing you to give him very critical and important information crucial t...o handling the case. I have been arrested twice for DUI within a span of 1 year and things for not looking good at all - I was depressed, stressed and extremely worried. Jon came highly recommended and I reached out and he worked his schedule around to meet with me the same day after office hours. I explained my situation to him - and after patiently listening to me for a half hour it to me right on my face (2nd arrest in short span) would trigger jail time in addition to ASAP, restricted license and probation). He gave me homework and said he will only be able to his best if I am diligent with the homework. Jon is well read, knows the law and most importantly knows how the Fairfax County court works as he is there every single day. He knows the Judges and Prosecutors - and clearly explains his strategy clearly before each court date. (Yes, he would ask for continuances so that you do enough homework to strengthen your case). I had very little hope, given how I screwed up and even registered for ASAP voluntarily based on Jon's suggestion. I did all he asked in with diligence and just trusted Jon to be my savior. On the trail date - he can very prepared and relentlessly pursued the prosecution to offer plea, and in those discussions found out multiple flaws in the case and also quickly assessed the weaknesses in case. He said he that we should stop asking for a plea - and go to trial. His demeanor, confidence and erudite assessment of the situation and hand was so convincing and impressive that I said I will just follow his orders. The trial lasted for over an hour and Jon was relentlessly pounding the officer, prosecutor and changing the thinking of the judge with every new argument exposing several weaknesses in the case. What was hopeless slowly started t0 look better due the methodical and tenacious behavior of Jon. Result: NOT GUILTY. Hands down – the best choice I have made based on my overall experience, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND HIM. DO whatever he says and give him the ammunition to fight for you. He can make things happen. Have belief and respect his homework, decisions and most importantly his gut feeling on how to proceed.

I was charged with DUI and refusal to take a breathalyzer in Loudoun County and, like many other people, I was left in disbelief and with many questions on my mind. I knew I needed to find a lawyer that would fight for me and my case. I met with Jon and with about 5 other lawyers to try and find the ...right lawyer. I decided to hire Jon because I felt that he would fight tooth and nail for me and my case. I could tell after meeting with him that he would take my situation seriously and would do whatever was in his power to get me the best outcome. I liked that he was honest and up-front with me about my case. He shared the strengths and weaknesses of my case with me and never promised me any outcomes or things he couldn’t deliver. He sat down with me to prioritize the possible outcomes of my case based on my preferences before heading to negotiate with the prosecutor. We showed up to court and Jon worked tirelessly to try to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor. He also talked to the police officer and was able to work with him to help my case. We left that day with no deal when the prosecutor wouldn’t budge, but Jon said he was confident and ready to go to trial, so we got a trial date and started to prepare. We showed up again for trial, where Jon told me again that he would fight for me and that he was prepared to go to trial if the prosecutor wouldn’t negotiate a deal. Jon walked into the prosecutor’s office and 5 minutes later walked out with the refusal charge dropped and the DUI charge reduced to a reckless driving! I couldn’t believe it. I cannot begin to say how thankful I am to Jon! I was extremely nervous during this process but Jon kept me calm at court, which I appreciated. Also, kudos to him and Lori for helping me through a situation with my difficult VASAP case manager. Jon was always available if I needed him or had any questions. Yes, Jon is more expensive than other lawyers around the area, but that’s because he is truly the best! Do the homework he gives you and trust in Jon! You will not regret it.

If you are on this page, probably you are in some kind of trouble and are looking for the best lawyer that can bring you the best possible result. Look no further. Jon is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very through in covering all the bases to prepare you for court. He gave me list of docu...ments to prepare, community service and all other necessary items. His staff and him kept me informed about my case leading up to the court date. On the court date, I saw him working relentlessly going back and forth negotiating and the result? Case dismissed. Peace of mind. Hire Jon if your name and reputation means something to you. Jon’s service is worth every penny you will pay. I am forever grateful that he took my case and to have hired him as my attorney.

Jon is an excellent lawyer and I would highly recommend him. He was able to get my charges dismissed in the first session.His courage, support and knowledge were immeasurable. Mr. Katz was very professional, business like and personal. He explained my options and had suggested things to be done b...eforehand to help me for the best outcome. He worked with me and was always on my side. Jon has exceptional skills in the courtroom.

I needed to hire a criminal attorney. Mr. Katz seemed this most knowledgeable out of the 4 attorneys I called. When I met him I felt a lot better. Mr. Katz had explained strategies to defend me. When my case was settled MR. Katz was able to get me a much better deal then I was expecting. If any of my... friends or family ever need a criminal attorney I would not hesitate to recommend Jon Katz.
