I was facing a first-time DUI charge in VA with a BAC of > .15, which, if convicted, meant I would serve mandatory five-day jail time. As someone who’d previously never even had so much as a speeding ticket, I was frightened out of my mind. After researching extensively online, I contacted Mr. Ka...tz and knew from the moment I met him that I would be hiring him as my attorney. Right away, he put me at ease and lessened my feelings of embarrassment regarding the incident. Ultimately, my trial date was set for ~ 4 months after the initial arrest, and Jon kept me informed and answered my endless queries very patiently and expeditiously. On the date of my court appearance, I was a nervous wreck, and nearly accepted the Prosecutor’s initial offer to accept a lesser charge DUI (reducing the BAC to < .15), which still would have carried a one-year suspended license, ASAP education requirement, fines, and possible ignition interlock system. Thank goodness the Prosecutor didn’t accept our counter offer for a Reckless Driving charge with two days’ jail time because if he had, I’d be far worse off than I am today. Jon patiently explained that I had little to lose by taking the matter to trial and I realized that my best bet was to let Jon do what I’d hired him to do. In the end, he obtained a “not guilty” verdict from the judge after shredding the arresting officer’s testimony (the officer’s testimony differed significantly from his police report of the incident) and getting the BAC test results excluded from the evidence. Jon worked a miracle for me – one for which I will be forever grateful! If you’re facing a DUI charge in MD or VA, don’t look anywhere else – just call Jon Katz!

Choosing Jon to represent me in Fairfax County for a first DUI was an excellent decision for me. I interviewed 4 other attorneys and none compared to Jon. From the minute I sat down with Jon in his Tyson’s office, I felt comfortable and protected. He has a unique sense of humor and candor, and i...t didn’t take long to realize this attorney had such an abundance of positive energy and dedication to fighting for his clients! I was slightly concerned over Jon being based out of Montgomery County, and he wasn’t available on my scheduled court date. But after learning how often Jon is in court in Fairfax, and that he could easily file to have my case heard at the next officer’s court date, it was a no brainer to hire him. Jon and his staff were meticulous in preparing my case, and Jon always returned emails and phone calls within hours. At our first court appearance, the Commonwealth was not willing to offer any lesser plea (my BAC was only .09, but the officer stated I almost struck another car and I did poorly on the field sobriety tests (both untrue)). The case was continued for a trial. At the second appearance (today), again the Commonwealth was not willing to offer any lesser plea, even though it seemed the officer was amenable to a reckless plea, so we went to trial. Jon was amazingly astute, had every base covered, did a superb job at arguing, and was incredibly perceptive at reading the Judge. I am thrilled to report that Jon was successful in having me found not guilty! Thanks goodness I did not get any worthy plea offer!
