As many of you are doing right now, constantly looking through reviews on Avvo, Yelp, Google to find the best lawyer for whatever "mistake" you have made, I was in the same situation with DWI as well as serious felony charges that could have jeopardized my permanent residency even if the charges were... lowered to a lesser "misdemeanor". I had about 4 different free consultations with 4 different lawyers. Mr. Katz was the only lawyer that actually listened to my story and cared for me as a person, not just another client with a dollar sign. He is not that type of lawyer that gives false hope to comfort but rather he gives his genuine opinion and advice, coming from years of experiences. Long story short, felony charges were dropped completely! My outcome was much better than I dreamed of and I am so grateful that I found Mr. Katz to represent me for the case. Thanks to Mr. Katz, my permanent residency would not be affected AT ALL. As many of the reviewers have said, PLEASE LISTEN to what Mr.Katz suggests to you and DO all the "HOMEWORKS" he gives you. If you have any questions regarding your "homework" or anything related to your case, JUST ASK Mr. Katz and he will always be prompt and honest when providing the best advice for you. In the end, it will help your outcome of the case! For anyone looking for the best criminal defense lawyer in town, look no further and just hire him and do the homework!

I was looking for a lawyer who won't just show up to court and have me interviewed for the 251 program. That is not something I wanted to do since the 251 program won't allow you to expunge the possession of marijuana case. Found Jon Katz through a friend who told me he's the best in the business. Pr...ice is a little hefty, but worth every penny. You want the best chance of winning your case? 1. Do the homework he gives you. 2. Let him do his job. The man is unparalleled in his field. He's also has a great sense of humor and can teach you a lesson or two about life. Hire him!

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.
