When life (or a Northern VA Police Department) throws you a curveball, Jon Katz is exactly who you want on your team. Following my arrest and release from booking, Jon was available with a moment’s notice for an in-person consultation to guide me through the steps I should take in advance of my p...ending legal proceedings. Jon did not judge me, nor the circumstances surrounding my interactions with the police and the legal system. His calm yet confident demeanor and sharp wit set me at ease from the moment we sat down, and I hired him on the spot. Jon’s sense of humor is quite welcome, and even in the courtroom he carefully inserts this energy to lighten the mood, without ever dropping his high level of professionalism. Jon didn’t miss a beat; he worked tirelessly to ensure that all of our bases were covered, and that I was functioning in my day-to-day life. This was incredibly important to me as I’ve never interacted with the justice system before and occasionally found myself drowning in worry and fearing the worst. Over about three months, we worked together on a plan Jon prescribed to “over-cover risk” and ensure that one bad night did not mean the end of my personal or professional reputation. In the end, the prosecution dropped the charges on my trial date. Half-lawyer, half-life coach - trust that when things get weird, hiring Jon Katz is the right decision.

jon and I have known each other for almost a year. From the time he represented my case to the successful conclusion now, I have been feeling very anxious and insomnia at the last moment of the court hearing. I am worried that DUI will affect my future. But every time I saw Jon, I wasn't scared at al...l, so I would make an appointment to see him when I was about to break down, and he would keep me updated. His seriousness about my case was beyond my definition of a good lawyer. His style is special but effective, what he says must be remembered, his homework must also be done, cooperate with each other to win the war.

If Jon Katz is your defense lawyer, you will get all three of these characteristics fighting on your behalf. He knows the law, so he will provide you expert advice and collaboratively develop your most effective defense strategy. Over 3 decades of experience, Jon will use his trial, negotiation, and... relationship skills to produce the best results for you. Facing multiple charges ranging from a 2nd DWI/DUI within 5 years, as well as several other misdemeanors, Jon was able to aggressively negotiate and get the DWI/DUI case reduced to reckless driving with the other misdemeanors either dismissed or mitigated favorably. Hiring Jon was one of the best decisions I could have made both personally and professionally. Highly recommend Jon for your Defense Attorney.
