Punctual, mindful, smart

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.

Thanks for your input. Marijuana use should be legalized, but remains a crime in the vast majority of states. That I contributed to your getting over your dependency on marijuana means a lot to me. All the best to you. Jon

Possession of Marijuana

I'm a 35 yr old college grad, with a typical NOVA contract gig, a growing business, and a family. I work hard during the day and at night I enjoy hanging out with my friend Mary Jane. We've been friends a long time and that friendship grew stronger after I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago. Usually w...e only hang out at home but one night in June, I decided to drive her to a friends home to share the love. Around 3 am I left my friends house and headed home. Less than 2 miles from home, a Fairfax County cop began to follow me. After about a mile, the cop pulls me over. I ask what's the issue? The cop responds that my window tint is too dark. I explain that I'm driving a loaner car because mine is in the shop. At that point, she says that she smells marijuana. And I immediately regret not spraying myself down before heading home. Well back and forth convo, a car search and drug field test later, I'm issued a citation and told that I am required to appear in court for the charge of marijuana possession (less than 8 grams). After beating myself up for a day or two, I turned to google to find out exactly how much trouble I was in with this charge. After reading horror stories about possession charges in Fairfax, I stumbled across Jon's blog. I read EVERYTHING and EVERY REVIEW. I emailed him the next day. He called me himself the next day. At the consultation Jon was very upfront about the process and expectations in regards to his rate, my homework, and the possible outcomes of my case. Most importantly, I left that consultation feeling like he was on my side and would fight for me. The court date. I'm a nervous wreck, couldn't recall simple details. I cried. Jon kept me in check and DID NOT STOP WORKING. Jon Katz fought for me. He worked that courthouse, speaking with the prosecutor, the cop, and whoever else he needed to talk too. The outcome. The prosecutor decided not to pursue the charges...Nolle Prosequi! My advice. Get the homework done. Don't leave out any details. Don't m wait until the last minute. I would recommend Jon Katz any day.

Great lawyer Great result

Jon katz is not only a master of his craft but genuinely an amazing person. While representing me, Jon consistently provided me with exellent advice/homework regarding my marijuana distribution charge. After two preliminary hearings my case had finally ended in a disposition of nolle prosequi. In a ...nutshell it was a maricle. I am forever thankful for Jon katz services and I wish him and his staff the best regarding thier future endeavors. Overall if you are ever in any legal trouble I highly recommend Jon Katz.

The Best in The Business

I was facing a uphill battle with a Marijuana case in Fairfax County. I was referred to Jon Katz by a friend. After our initial consultation, I knew Jon was the right attorney for my case. His knowledge and tenacity in fighting my case was nothing short of spectacular. He is very meticulous and truly... a guru at his profession. My case was nullified and I was free to go! I highly recommend this man to defend you. Many thanks to Jon and his staff. Cheers!

Best Attorney in the DMV area

Jon successfully negociated a plea deal for me that, not only kept my charge from escalating to a felony, resolved to be a misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. I was in possession of a small amount of hash oil in VA, a felony, and my finallized plea has me on supervised probation until I complete... a 12 week substance abuse course, of my choosing, after which I am unsupervised. Jon is the only lawyer I trust when my future is on the line.
