I was referred to Jon Katz by a family friend and it certainly paid off. I was up for a first offense DUI and was expecting to get a PBJ but Jon wanted to fight it. From the moment Jon entered the court room I could tell he had a powerful presence, one that was noticed by both myself, and the prosecu...tor. Jon waited the long 6 hours with me until my trial time finally came. During that wait he offered a lot of comfort and lightened the mood with this humor. Right before my trial started Jon talked with the prosecutor and got us a plea bargain where the DUI charges were dropped and amended to a mere negligent driving charge. I got PBJ for a far less, nonjailable offense which only had the terms of 24 hours of community service! On top of that, we completely avoided a long trial!! GREAT results and only possible due to Jon's reputation and powerful attitude. I highly recommend him.

When I was arrested for a DWI in Washington, DC, I was petrified. Between the fear of going through the court system for the first time, the stress of figuring out how to pull myself out of the situation I put myself in, and the shame I felt for even being in this kind of mess, I really wanted to fin...d a good lawyer. Well, I did one better and found a great lawyer in Jonathan Katz. His advice was spot on, he was always so well prepared, and he gave me my dignity back by outlining exactly what steps I needed to take in order to rectify my situation. My one request, that I not do jail time, was singular but difficult to attain considering my circumstances. He was able to fulfill my request, and he did so while holding onto his scruples. Extremely intelligent, effective, and very experienced, I recommend Jonathan Katz without reservation. This means quite a bit coming from me, because I have high expectations of myself and those around me. Therefore, if I can recommend Jonathan Katz without reservation, then you should run and not walk to contact him should you need legal advice.
