I was charged with soliciting a prostitute and frequenting a bawdy place. The end result was dismissal of the first charge and a reduction to a disorderly conduct for the second charge with a steep fine. Jon Katz was my lawyer for five months to which he assigned me "homework" and tasks to help mit...igate possible risks and show the court my good faith when the time came. It was a lot of work but has absolutely paid off. I have no regrets as to selecting Jon. He has an outstanding reputation as a fierce civil rights lawyer. He is direct and to the point with no sugar coating. No doubt I would recommend him to anyone. In fact, I would recommend going to his website and review the lessons learned videos in preparation for any possible arrest specifically about keeping your mouth shut! During court day, Jon "worked" all the players. He thrived in this environment clearly navigating and strategizing the best outcome for me. I really don't think anyone could have done better in this situation. Jon exceeded my expectations and in this area, your lawyer is your best friend which Jon was!

If you or a loved one have the misfortune of being in a bad legal situation I can only hope you are fortunate enough to hire the very best attorney around and that's El GATO or Jon Katz. I can honestly say I was expecting the worst for my husband for his 4th DUI yes you read that correctly FOURTH but... we got an outcome that far exceeded any out come we could have imagined, this situation had us in panic mode but as long as you do any and everything Jon advises you to do he will not steer you wrong listen to everything he recommends you to do and you can also have a great outcome like my husband did. I just want to say you won't find a lawyer that will tirelessly explore every single option for your best outcome. I just want to sincerely thank Jon for fighting for our family every step of the way. HIRE EL GATO YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

I found Jon Katz based on the stellar reviews on this site as well as other web search. I never had to hire a lawyer until now and I made the best choice! He worked with the court to have all citations dismissed in a federal I. class misdemeanor case with prejudice. The best I hoped before was a pl...ea. I would definitely recommend him!

If you are reading this review, then you are in the same place I was in about 4 months ago. I was charged with petit larceny at a large retail operation and knew the evidence was against me. During our first appointment Jon was direct and to the point. He did not judge me. During our talk Jon was... very specific on what I needed to do to help him. This was defined as “homework.” He provided a very succinct plan and stressed that it needed to be completed. Completing this homework proved that I was serious and willing to make amends to society. Trust me… DO THE HOMEWORK! On the trial date, Jon was very active and persistent in working behind the scenes before the trial. He interfaced with the prosecutor’s witness and the prosecutor many times and was able to strike a deal. Jon’s extensive experience and deep knowledge of the law enabled him to make a deal. He was able to leverage my homework to show the prosecutor and judge that I was a person in the community who has learned his lesson. We received a positive decision from the judge. Jon helped me in obtaining the best outcome possible as a negative result would have destroyed my professional career. Jon worked his magic to my greatest relief and satisfaction. Honestly, Jon is a magician and will fight tooth and nail for you. Do yourself a favor… stop being confused now. HIRE JON KATZ!

Jon Katz is an excellent lawyer. I've known him for more than two decades and have always been extremely impressed by his knowledge of the law and his dedication to his clients. I am a lawyer licensed to practice in Maryland. Mr. Katz is my "go-to" lawyer for clients with legal problems in Virginia.... I regularly refer clients to him and feel confident that they are in the best hands. I have watched Mr. Katz in trial and admire his skill and finesse. He is simply outstanding!
