I hired Jon Katz – a DUI and criminal lawyer based in Fairfax, Virginia – on the recommendation of a friend; best decision I ever made. I was scared and anxious because I had never been in this type of situation; I have a clean driving record but I blew .15 BAC in Maryland and received about 6 or so ...total tickets, including a DWI AND a DUI ticket. From our very first meeting I felt that I had made the right decision. He immediately gave me various HW to do. These HWs were anything from Victim Impact Panel classes to Driver Improvement classes and so on. At every stage of the way, Jon and his extraordinarily efficient office staff – Abby and Rachel – were there for me and I knew I was in good hands. On the day of the trial Jon was in his element as he strove to do the very best for me. And the outcome was truly amazing; he secured my acquittal from the DWI and DUI charges. I will forever be indebted to him; I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jon is amazing at what he does. After speaking to him a few times, I knew I could trust him. I had a case and before my case I had met with a few lawyers before coming across Jon. 20 min into speaking to him, I knew I had to go with him. Going to court for whatever reason, isn’t easy. Having Jon by m...yself made the process a lot easier. Definitely recommend!

Jon represented my daughter. My daughter had made a poor judgement call and was arrested. The first meeting it was apparent that there was zero judgement from Jon. He saw the case for what it was...my daughter is a good person who made a poor decision. He was able to ease her mind and when we wen...t to court he was able to get it reduced. He didn't want this mistake to affect her for years. I was very thankful for how he handled the case and my daughters anxiety. His professionalism and empathy was exactly what we needed.

In August of last year, I was involved in a DUI accident that would have easily ruined my life and reputation. I was already at one of the lowest points in my life, having lost a job only weeks prior to my arrest for DUI and possession of two different controlled substances. When I walked into Mr. Ka...tz’s office, I was genuinely broken. Physically in the sense that my hand was fractured from the crash, and psychologically from the chain of misfortune that led me to his office. After a brief consultation, I had a game plan that gave me a chance to fight for a second lease on life. Through following his instructions, I was not only able to avoid jail time and get both possession charges dropped when court came around, but I found hope for myself where it hadn’t been before. I am currently living a life I’d never thought possible before, happy and hopeful for my future. Sometimes, it takes hitting rock bottom and meeting someone like Mr. Katz to really turn your life around.

John Katz helped me by representing me after I had incurred a very bad situation for an old man like me. He argued my case very well in an uphill battle that could have recked the rest of my life. Led through all of the requirements to get the best sentencing possible given severity of mandatory, m...inimum jail times imposed in the state of Virginia. It was a 1st offense that could have imposed harsh treatment but given the situation that added to the crime he was able to minimize my confinement for which I'm thankful.
