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.

If you are charged with a crime in Virginia, you want a lawyer who understands the plight of the criminal defendant, and who believes that he is fighting on the side of justice. This devotion to criminal defense drives Jon to work as hard as I have ever seen anyone work. He truly loves his job, and t...his is especially evident in the courtroom, where his high energy and confidence have him stand out from other attorneys. I was charged with felony marijuana distribution in Virginia, which caused a great deal of anxiety. After talking to several lawyers I knew Jon would best serve my interests. We began discussing my arresting incident, and since he has been defending marijuana cases for over 25 years, I learned that there were several defenses we had (none of which involved snitching). Up until my trial date, we had several conversations about my case and went over all of the evidence as thoroughly as possible, as well as documented homework assignments to help with negotiations. Jon had my case fully prepared for trial, which eventually led to a plea deal with the conditions that I was hoping for. Throughout the whole process we shared funny stories which helped put me at ease, and totally shattered my preconceived notions about lawyers. Not only did Jon get me the result I wanted, he also made sure that the probation office treated me fairly and gave me as much freedom as possible. If you are charged with a crime, you do not want a lawyer who used to be a prosecutor, you want a lawyer who has spent his entire career battling prosecutors with a sense of purpose.

Mr. Katz almost saved my life, I racked up two serious offenses that I received because of my love for marijuana. God bless this man saved my future and helped me get over my dependency on marijuana. He's a lawyer and a life coach, super qualified, if you need a lawyer that will keep his end of the b...argain you can always count on Katz.

In 2010 I made a huge mistake and wound up with a DWI. Thankfully I hired Jon Katz and he went to work and got the DWI reduced to reckless driving and kept me out of jail. 7 years later I was filing out some forms on a background check and needed advice on answering a question and Jon didn't hesit...ate to give me the answers I needed. If you're looking for a lawyer who gets results and will be responsive even after the case is long closed look no further than Jon Katz. The biggest mistake you can make is not hiring this man.

So let's take it back to the very first time I met with Mr. Katz....... I am a MD resident who was arrested and accused of a DWI while being under the age of 21 in VA. I was absolutely clueless about what my rights were and exactly what kind of help I could get with my circumstances. The very first t...ime I met with Jon he professionally explained exactly what it was he could do for me and what the possible outcomes were. He never promised anything and always keep it realicstic which I appreciated. Many other attorneys I looked at seemed to sugar coat things but Jon keep it 100% straight forward/the point with his knowledge on cases such as mine. I decided to hire him right then and there. So the first trial I had the prosecutor wouldn't budge and drop my case down to a wreckless driving which is what Jon and I had agreed on. This made me very uneased so Jon talked it out with me and we decided to continue my case and try for another prosecuter. My second trial Jon worked his magic and was able to get my charges dropped down from driving while intoxicated to driving wreckles!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!! He also was able to fight until the very end with my driving restrictions and got me the exact thing that I wished for!!!!! If I ever again need an attorney Jon Katz is THE MAN...... if my friends need an attorney I will tell them Jon Katz is the MAN..... literally jumping for joy because of Jon! You will not regret hiring him!
