Exceptional Legal Defense Attorney

If you are in search of a highly skilled and top-notch criminal defense/DUI attorney, look no further and do not hesitate to hire Mr. Jon Katz, Fairfax Criminal Defense Attorney. He is the one and only criminal defense/DUI lawyer you will need. I presented Jon with my extremely challenging situation... of a DWI (2nd), an elevated BAC over .20 to include an accident. From the beginning Jon was extremely detailed and straight forward in explaining the severity of what I was facing. With his vast knowledge, Jon provided me with some homework and he began building the strongest defense and provided me with clarity and understanding through every step of the process. Jon’s expertise, dedication and professionalism, to include his assistants, Rachel and Abbey, who quickly responded to any concerns and kept me up-to-date, had us fully prepared to defend at every angle for all of my court appearances. The attention to detail is unparalleled to any other attorney. Jon’s proficiency and knowledge of the legal system for DUI criminal cases is truly impeccable. Jon is well known by the judges and prosecutors and works his way around the court room, as if it is his playground. Jon utilized all of his tools like a magician for trial, to ensure the prosecution’s options were limited and achieved a complete dismissal of all charges. Although, the road was rough, Jon got me a “smooth landing” and I will be forever thankful to him and his team for getting this “monkey off my back” and giving me a refreshed/renewed opportunity of life, for me and my family! So, if you are faced with making a tough life decision of finding a five-star criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Jon Katz. In Jon, I trust!

Exceptional Legal Expertise and Compassionate Guidance

I'm absolutely grateful for Mr. Katz's exceptional legal expertise. We were extremely lucky that Mr. Katz is not only a Fairfax criminal lawyer, but also extremely experienced in Loudoun County where the system is nuanced and rigid, even for first-time offenders. He worked diligently since day one to... build the strongest case, understand every facet of the situation, and guide us through every step of the process. Whether it was organizing an expert witness, like Mr. McGarry, or court reporters, etc. he made sure that our defense strategy was comprehensive and detailed. It's only because of his expertise and preparation that the sentence was reduced by the prosecution to reckless driving and agreed to by the judge. Even post case, he's been in touch consistently to make sure that any next steps are taken care of and any questions I have are answered. What I truly appreciated throughout the process was the clear and straightforward way Mr. Katz explained things to me as a client. He ensured I was aware of every possible outcome, the implications in different scenarios, and what we needed to do next. His in-depth knowledge about DWI laws and compassionate approach towards his clients makes him truly an amazing lawyer. His team, especially Rachel Kern, was extremely helpful in coordinating all the details of my case and keeping us up to speed. Their proficiency, integrity, and commitment are unparalleled. If you're in need of legal assistance, I highly recommend Mr. Katz and can't thank him enough for helping us through this difficult situation.

Most of my criminal defense and DWI clients have little to no experience in court, which at once is a land of opportunity and landmines. Thank you for the opportunity to have obtained a great outcome for you in court.

Really knows his stuff!

Jon helped me during a very difficult and vulnerable time in my life. My BAC was very high, enough to qualify for mandatory jail time but Jon was able to work something out with the prosecutor and I was able to avoid jail. I consider my case to have been a very special DUI case, in terms of it not ...being an ordinary one. But I was confident in Jon because he was very familiar with the law, the system, and the judges. I recommend Jon to anyone who is in need of a DUI lawyer. He is well equipped with the knowledge to handle any case!
