hire this attorney or bust

I will be singing Jon's praises for a long time. I got very lucky when I found Jon on the internet. Jon saved me from a huge embarrassment and a DWI (with refusal) in VA. I totalled my Harley and got a DWI/refusal to submit to the breathalyzer. Jon worked the system back and forth until he got the St...ate's Attorney to agree with our terms.I was so scared but he was confident yet didn't over promise. He was so caring and still a bulldog in court. He loves what he does and it shows. My results were so much better than others that were in the court room with lesser charges! He even walked around with me after court to each required meeting. A HUGE kuddos to him.

One of the best attorneys In the DMV!

A friend recommended Mr Katz , on my first meeting with him, he was compassionate and besides that he listened to me attentively. My case was handled professionally and I was pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Mr Katz to anyone in search of criminal attorney.

I am confident Jon can take care of your case no matter what the situation!!!!

Jon did an awesome job for me!! my case was simple DUI but my situation was so complicated. I am not American, got arrested during a short visit here in D.C, missed my court dates since I couldn't stay longer for my first court appearance because I was scheduled to return to my home country. So I en...ded up completely missing my court dates and was unable to return to the U.S. It was such a complicated situation for me and I didn't know how to fix everything, so I started to look for a lawyer. First thing that lead me to Jon is that he speaks more than one language. At first he seemed a little unsympathetic to me, but I realized he was only being objective and looking at my situation how the court would look at me. So there was no misunderstanding on my end of what I was dealing with, which could have had a very bad ending for me. Jon introduced me to another immigration lawyer that handled me being able to get back to the u.s. without being stopped at customs and going to jail. Than once I was here, Jon scheduled all of my court hearings and used all of the advantages possible to help with my case. He made sure the court treated me fairly and that they fulfilled all of there responsibilities to me as a defendant without any hardship for me. He knows how to exploit any holes in the case the prosecutor has, and also knows how to take your situation to higher levels of appeal or put in requests that are above the courts level. For the most part the court never wants to mess with the paperwork, so it helps get what we want to happen to benefit me. He even picked me up and dropped me off at my house one time for one of the court hearings because had transportation problems. It was nice not having to coordinate all of the aspects of my case after I retained Jon. He even got a court appointed interpreter for me free of charge even though my English is good. But it helped cause than I didn't have to talk much, and they left all the questions to Jon. So to put a long story short, I had a warrant for my arrest for failure to appear, A DUI charge, and i was looking at a possible year in jail, alcohol program classes, and many fines. After Jon's help, I was given no jail time, no alcohol classes, my warrant was dismissed, and I only had to pay less than $600 fine and 3 years unsupervised probation. Before Having Jon as my lawyer, I was overwhelmed and felt like I was stuck in a black box trying to find my way out. He helped me get out of that situation so I could move on with my life!!! Thanks again Jon.. you have no idea how much I appreciate everything you did for me.

Experience, compassion for clients, dedication.

I hired Jon Katz to represent for criminal misdemeanor cases. He kept us informed, put us at ease, and made himself constantly available via his mobile communication devices. Mr. Katz is dedicated to his clients; I believe that he will do his very best for you.

Best lawyer around by FAR!!!!!

Anyone with any kind of case Jon covers...HIRE HIM! This guy is knowledgeable, a master in the courtroom, intelligent and tolerant (I have a mother who is very difficult to deal with) and he even dealt with her, sometimes better than I do! My drug possession case, which I was concerned with for over... a year, ended in a Nolle Prosequi (no prosecute), and only because I listened to Jon's preparatory advice before the trial and when in the first trial before my continuance, Jon advised me to reject the prosecution's bum offer when they weren't prepared. Which gave me more time to prepare a better case! I would have had a record if I had accepted the offer that may have affected my future educational opportunities, and thanks to Jon, that is no longer a problem. He is brilliant in the courtroom, fears NO PROSECUTOR, and will fight for you to the very end for the best verdict possible. I am a person with anxiety and depression issues, and his humor and drive helped me to feel much more relaxed in and out of the courtroom. Furthermore, he will be completely honest with you about your situation and the possibilities, even if they aren't pleasant. And to be frank, there are lots of lawyers out there charging far more for less quality work. I also had a DUI case and as expensive as she was, the service was crap. Jon is responsive, prepared to perfection, knows the judges and is in all ways a fierce lawyer. FIVE STARS!!! Just look at his reviews. Don't waste your time with anyone else. Trust me.
