No Such Thing as a 'Slam Dunk' Case

I thought the police had me for possession and I was in real trouble. I was sure there was no way out of this mess and realized that I need a good lawyer. Many attorneys would have said that the prosecution had a 'slam dunk' case and I would have to be at the court's mercy. But when I presented ...my case to Jon, he offered various alternative approaches and instantly formulated a strong, successful game plan. At trial, while other lawyers had no defense for the prosecutor's 'game,' Jon used his extensive legal experience and vast knowledge of the court system to reject the 'slam dunk' and achieve winning results. Jon Katz is the kind of lawyer you want representing you. He has a real passion for justice, your justice. He will make sure you are aware of all options available and take the time to explain the strengths and weaknesses of each. Simply put, Jon knows the system and how to make it work in favor of his clients.

Jonathan Katz goes Above and Beyond

The last thing I ever thought to happen to me would be arrested for a DWI with a high BAC. My son is an attorney out-of-state and did some quick, but intensive research and recommended Mr. Katz. Mr. Katz made himself available the very next day, though I could see how busy he is. I was impressed i...mmediately with his manner, knowledge and professionalism. He managed to reinstill the self dignity that I felt was lost for at least a while. The two-month wait until trial date seemed like an eternity, but Mr. Katz checked in regularly and helped me arrange helpful and important activities to help my case. I was terrified of jail time and losing my license, but he worked skillfully with the prosecutor. Because of him I avoided jail time and am driving with a restricted license. The greatest strengths I found in Mr. Katz were his experience, his ease of working through procedure and possibly most important, his dedication to the client. He is an attorney who truly cares and as he said to me once when I remarked that I knew he had another client calling soon, "My only client is the one I'm talking to now".

Courtroom is His Playground

Katz is the man for the job. He balls hard and taught me the importance of not quitting. I was scheduled to move out of state with my girlfriend and the court date conflicted with my move. I did not think that a judge would consider rescheduling the court date so I told Jon to forget about it. At tha...t point he asked me: "Do you have a lot of quit in you?" I realized he was right, showed up in court with him the next day, and had my court-date rescheduled (was able to move, much to the relief of my girlfriend). Eventually I was found not-guilty of a .088 DUI. You want this guy in your corner because he gets sincere pleasure from being right. Whatever your situation, his experience will find the police/prosecution's weaknesses and rightously exploit it on your behalf. Solid. Thx again :)

The true Warrior for Justice

I want to take a few minutes today to comment on the excellent service I received from the law firm of Jonathan Katz.. After being confronted with a legal matter, I spend several days researching attorneys and finally choose Jonathan Katz. My reasons were simple: I wanted results!!! During this r...ecent ordeal, Jonathan Katz has shown me why he is called a “Warrior for Justice”. Mr. Katz NEVER stops fighting for his clients. Mr. Katz tapped into countless resources and spent countless hours working on my case and fighting for me. Yes, he was compensated for his work; however, I have NEVER seen an attorney who willingly and without complaint spends time away from his family in order to concentrate on my case. Mr. Katz kept me informed of any matters related to my case and stayed in constant communication with the prosecutor. His approach to my case and his ability to present the true facts of the case to the prosecutor resulted in the dismissal of my case. Mr. Katz is a true warrior for his clients and his wonderful staff shares in his commitment to find justice for his clients.
