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 ...give me good advice on how to prepare for court, which ultimately ended up being very helpful, and kept be updated on what was happening all throughout the process .

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... a first with all jail time suspended! He was able to give me the peace of mind that I was desperately looking for. Hopefully I'll never get in trouble again, but if I do, I know who to call.

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

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Town -A true master He is

As many of you are doing right now, constantly looking through reviews on Avvo, Yelp, Google to find the best lawyer for whatever "mistake" you have made, I was in the same situation with DWI as well as serious felony charges that could have jeopardized my permanent residency even if the charges were... lowered to a lesser "misdemeanor". I had about 4 different free consultations with 4 different lawyers. Mr. Katz was the only lawyer that actually listened to my story and cared for me as a person, not just another client with a dollar sign. He is not that type of lawyer that gives false hope to comfort but rather he gives his genuine opinion and advice, coming from years of experiences. Long story short, felony charges were dropped completely! My outcome was much better than I dreamed of and I am so grateful that I found Mr. Katz to represent me for the case. Thanks to Mr. Katz, my permanent residency would not be affected AT ALL. As many of the reviewers have said, PLEASE LISTEN to what Mr.Katz suggests to you and DO all the "HOMEWORKS" he gives you. If you have any questions regarding your "homework" or anything related to your case, JUST ASK Mr. Katz and he will always be prompt and honest when providing the best advice for you. In the end, it will help your outcome of the case! For anyone looking for the best criminal defense lawyer in town, look no further and just hire him and do the homework!

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...ice is a little hefty, but worth every penny. You want the best chance of winning your case? 1. Do the homework he gives you. 2. Let him do his job. The man is unparalleled in his field. He's also has a great sense of humor and can teach you a lesson or two about life. Hire him!

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.

The Energizer Bunny / Atticus Finch (pre-'Go Set a Watchman') / Obi-Wan Kenobi—all rolled into one!

Let me make it clear: I am Jon’s client – Jon is my lawyer – and will be forevermore I was wrongfully charged with a felony crime I didn’t commit – I had everything to lose: my kids, my business, my life – Jon got me out of jail and my bogus case dismissed. Never disappoints, never waivers, helps y...ou keep the faith no matter the circumstances, extremely cool under the most demanding pressure—talks the talk and walks the walk, with flawless integrity. Initially my lawyer, now, proudly, my friend and mentor.
