There are not enough stars to properly recommend Jon Katz. He is brilliant, tenacious, and reliable to a fault. He executed a creative defense that saved my career and spared me jail time. Furthermore, Mr. Katz has a keen understanding of the inequities inherent in our criminal justice system and can... be counted on to work with integrity to overcome these and all obstacles to justice.

I was referred to Jon Katz by a family friend and it certainly paid off. I was up for a first offense DUI and was expecting to get a PBJ but Jon wanted to fight it. From the moment Jon entered the court room I could tell he had a powerful presence, one that was noticed by both myself, and the prosecu...tor. Jon waited the long 6 hours with me until my trial time finally came. During that wait he offered a lot of comfort and lightened the mood with this humor. Right before my trial started Jon talked with the prosecutor and got us a plea bargain where the DUI charges were dropped and amended to a mere negligent driving charge. I got PBJ for a far less, nonjailable offense which only had the terms of 24 hours of community service! On top of that, we completely avoided a long trial!! GREAT results and only possible due to Jon's reputation and powerful attitude. I highly recommend him.

Jon is quite a character-entertaining and very effective. The outcome of our son's case was favorable and now he won't have a criminal record. This is a huge relief to all of us. The other lawyer we interviewed said that it was " an open and shut case" , but Jon said he was going for the gold. He di...d and won.

I was extreamly worried about my son's traffic violation concerning Virginia's strict traffic laws. I contacted Jonathan Katz for my son'sprobation period traffic violation and he was very knowledgable and quick in response to my son's case. He builds a solid lawer and client relationship. He won our... case in Alexandria, Va and Fairfax County Court, Va. I highly recommend Mr. Katz to everyone seeking a paramount, hardworking attorney for any traffic law. - Ryan T.

I had court with Jon as my representation today. I had a miserable driving record, and was charged with yet another Reckless Driving offense (number 3). Intially, the Commonwealth Attorney (in VA, they are not called a DA or Prosecutor....but same thing), would not offer a plea bargain. Jon was li...ke a bird dog, got the plea I wanted, and I left with a traffic infraction (instead of a misdemeanor criminal offense), a much lesser fine, no restrictions on my driving. All MUCH better than the 1-year in jail that I could have faced if we had gone to trial. Jon also counseled me on what I could do proactively to mitigate my risk of an unfavorable outcome (he had me complete several driving courses, do community service, get my speedometer checked, and visit a psychiatrist). I have to credit Jon for saving my butt - literally - had I gone to jail, my job, my family's welfare, and my reputation. He's expensive, but worth every penny. By the way - he's never been a prosecutor...which means he's on the side of justice....not the side of the state. He's also very responsive (usually thru is full time assistant), and allowed me to talk with him whenever I liked....as long as I gave notice and worked with his schedule.
