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.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, when my clients do my suggested assignments, that can spell a big difference in their case outcome. Be well. Jon

Outstanding Lawyer

Mr. Jonathan Katz is an outstanding lawyer with our case. He helped us every step of the way. He is not a dollar sign of a lawyer, rich or poor he treats them with respect and care and will do above and beyond to get the justice done. He will never leave you hanging. Mr. Jonathan Katz treats me as a ...friend not just a client. I frankly don't know how we would have done it without Mr. Katz. My family and I are so grateful for finding him. I highly recommend his law firm. Don't think second thoughts, he is the one who can always help.

Jon saved me!!!

I hired Jon Katz when I was charged with a petit larceny case. It was my first time offense and I was really worried bout the consequences. I decided to go with Jon after doing extensive online research and meeting him in person for a free consultation. He was very responsive to all my questions a...nd concerns and we were constantly in touch during the 3 months before the court date. He outlined steps for me, recommending me to do them before the court date. I followed the steps he laid out which really helped my case. On the court date, Jon did his magic! He talked with the loss prevention officer before my case was called which resulted in my case getting dismissed!!! That was more than I could have ever hoped for. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone seeking a top-notch criminal defense attorney. I am so glad Jon handled my case as he was very reassuring during the whole process which made me feel comfortable and hopeful. For anyone in a similar situation looking for a criminal defense attorney, Jon will not disappoint you and do everything he can to bring you the best results.

Thanks for your feedback, and for pointing out the importance of following the proposed assignments that I recommend to my clients. We took a potentially damning criminal charge and ended up with a case dismissal. All the best to you. Jon

Regarding a Misdemeanor

Without disclosing lot of Information, I would only say few things. Mr. Katz handled my case regarding a misdemeanor, I still don't understand what happened till today but he managed to get my case dropped completely. This guy is simply a genius. He knows his stuff and has his own unique way of doin...g things; but he will fight for you till the last second to get you the best possible outcome. If you need a lawyer around DMV area this is the man to go to. You are the man Mr. Katz.
