hire this attorney or bust

I will be singing Jon's praises for a long time. I got very lucky when I found Jon on the internet. Jon saved me from a huge embarrassment and a DWI (with refusal) in VA. I totalled my Harley and got a DWI/refusal to submit to the breathalyzer. Jon worked the system back and forth until he got the St...ate's Attorney to agree with our terms.I was so scared but he was confident yet didn't over promise. He was so caring and still a bulldog in court. He loves what he does and it shows. My results were so much better than others that were in the court room with lesser charges! He even walked around with me after court to each required meeting. A HUGE kuddos to him.

Be very happy you have found Jon Katz!

Choosing Jon to represent me in Fairfax County for a first DUI was an excellent decision for me. I interviewed 4 other attorneys and none compared to Jon. From the minute I sat down with Jon in his Tyson’s office, I felt comfortable and protected. He has a unique sense of humor and candor, and i...t didn’t take long to realize this attorney had such an abundance of positive energy and dedication to fighting for his clients! I was slightly concerned over Jon being based out of Montgomery County, and he wasn’t available on my scheduled court date. But after learning how often Jon is in court in Fairfax, and that he could easily file to have my case heard at the next officer’s court date, it was a no brainer to hire him. Jon and his staff were meticulous in preparing my case, and Jon always returned emails and phone calls within hours. At our first court appearance, the Commonwealth was not willing to offer any lesser plea (my BAC was only .09, but the officer stated I almost struck another car and I did poorly on the field sobriety tests (both untrue)). The case was continued for a trial. At the second appearance (today), again the Commonwealth was not willing to offer any lesser plea, even though it seemed the officer was amenable to a reckless plea, so we went to trial. Jon was amazingly astute, had every base covered, did a superb job at arguing, and was incredibly perceptive at reading the Judge. I am thrilled to report that Jon was successful in having me found not guilty! Thanks goodness I did not get any worthy plea offer! If you are looking for a lawyer who is completely on top of their game, flawless in the courtroom, zealous in their battle for you, go talk to Jon Katz!!!

Jon Katz made dealing with the worst thing thats ever happend to me manageable.

If you are looking for a detail oriented amazing lawyer then look no further. Jon Katz successfully defended me from a felony cannabis charge which would have had me in jail for 5 years. He literally went over every detail with a fine tooth comb until he found the flaw in the prosecutions case. Wh...ich took running all over interviewing the 20 some officers involved in my arrest as well as lab employees who had processed evidence. He eventually bargained a deal which dropped the charge down to a misdemeanor, kept me out of prison and from losing my job. If relentless is what you need then Jon Katz is definitely your lawyer.

One of the best attorneys In the DMV!

A friend recommended Mr Katz , on my first meeting with him, he was compassionate and besides that he listened to me attentively. My case was handled professionally and I was pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Mr Katz to anyone in search of criminal attorney.

A "General" at the top of his game

Mr. Katz is a gifted defense attorney. He has my highest recommendation to be your defense attorney. He represented me twice, in VA and MD courts, twice for charges with more than a year jail time possible, and obtained better than I expected results. He lived up to his reputation (according to m...y former attorney who recommended him) as the go-to lawyer for difficult cases. The first time it might have been luck or a lenient court, but the second time he also obtained superior results. He works hard, pays meticulous attention to the details to prepares his arguments well covering all the bases with what he has. Possibly more important is that he thinks very fast on his feet, and has a smooth, compelling, charismatic court presence. Based on more than 15 years of daily work experience with (and for, in several instances) many lawyers at all levels - including top grads from top schools, top clerks at all levels, work on my cases with several defense attorneys, and personal acquaintances with lawyers at all levels, he is on par with the best in the legal profession, and heads and shoulders above his peers.
