Client

I contacted Jon due to an extreme number of positive reviews online after receiving a Felony possession of Marijuana w/ Intent to Distribute charge. To be very clear, I'm a family man with a career and don't sell Mary J. I knew he cared about beating this case after just 10 minutes of talking to him,... oh and don't interrupt. During the middle of our first meeting I shared that a week prior i got a reckless driving charge and had a pending petty charge from my child's Mother. I presented Jon with 2 misdemeanors and 1 felony. Go Time Listen, focus, execute is what I learned from doing Jon's Homework, do the homework! Jon truly is a master a his craft and his staff is outstanding as well, Lori was terrific. He works extremely hard and dazzles in the courtroom with his knowledge of the law and court system. I must say that Jon truly helped my life in every way possible and I would recommend and have recommended Mr. Katz to anyone who needs an attorney for legal troubles. All 3 charges NOLLE PROSSED, you the man, Jon let's keep in touch !

Thank you for your kind words and the opportunity to defend you. For those not familiar with the phrase, “Jai Hanuman” means hooray to Hanuman, who to me exemplifies service, which I devote fully to each client.

Best Lawyer!

Jon is the best lawyer you can find. I hired Jon after getting arrested for a DUI and then two months later was arrested again for another alcohol related offense. I thought there would be no way out of this situation, and that my future was ruined. From the beginning Jon was open and honest and I f...elt he would do everything to get the best possible outcome for me. He and his staff were always available for me. Jon also gave me homework to do while preparing for my court dates. I trusted Jon and followed his direction by completing all the homework he assigned. At the same time he clearly communicated possible outcomes and his plan of attack. He was able to give me the confidence that I needed to face an unknown future. Jon knows how the court system works, and for my cases, Jon entered the Fairfax County Courthouse thoroughly prepared and used this to his tactical advantage in representing me. For each of my court dates, Jon was fully prepared and ready to fight for me. My DUI charge was dismissed and the other charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. Jon literally saved my future. As others have said: DO what he recommends you do to prepare so he can fight for you. Have belief in him and respect his decisions, recommendations and gut feeling on how to proceed. He leaves no stone unturned in fighting for your future. His staff is excellent as well.

Thank you for commenting. I love both battling for justice for my clients, and seeing the positive difference that my efforts often make in my clients' lives. Kudos and thanks to you for keeping up hope as we fought together for a favorable result in your cases.

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 ...replies immediately to all calls and emails. I had two drug charges at once: one misdemeanor and one felony, he fought so the felony charges were not brought in the first place not the first charge later dismissed, saving my reputation!

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.

Standing up for your rights!!

Jon came highly recommended from a friend whose case he got dismissed. Jon was very attentive and in a hard time provided the compassion and sense of direction needed. Every document was scanned and sent to me immediately upon receipt. He constantly stayed in contact with me throughout the whole proc...ess. His attention to detail made the difference in the end. I agreed to a plea based on the words of the prosecutor, however when time came for sentencing the prosecutor wanted to go back on their words. Jon fought tooth and nail and only through his attention to detail and knowledge of law got the prosecutor to agreed to what she originally promised. This proved Jon's worth and then some. I can say he genuinely cared about my well being and truly went to battle for me. Thanks Jon!!!

Thanks for the opportunity to pursue justice for you. How unfortunate when a prosecutor or any other lawyer goes back on their word. I reduce that risk by sending prosecutors timely written confirmations of our agreements, and here you and I ultimately prevailed in obtaining the result you wanted. Thanks again.
