If you or a loved one have the misfortune of being in a bad legal situation I can only hope you are fortunate enough to hire the very best attorney around and that's El GATO or Jon Katz. I can honestly say I was expecting the worst for my husband for his 4th DUI yes you read that correctly FOURTH but... we got an outcome that far exceeded any out come we could have imagined, this situation had us in panic mode but as long as you do any and everything Jon advises you to do he will not steer you wrong listen to everything he recommends you to do and you can also have a great outcome like my husband did. I just want to say you won't find a lawyer that will tirelessly explore every single option for your best outcome. I just want to sincerely thank Jon for fighting for our family every step of the way. HIRE EL GATO YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Jon, is a warrior through and through. His meticulous preparation is just one of the keys to his success. His preparation leads to him knowing his cases so well that he can build a defense that will ensure that justice is achieved in he case. He is also innovative, does not fail to get experts when t...hey are needed whether it be a toxicologist in a DUI case to refute the governments evidence, or the use of experts in helping him just prepare the trial even if they are not called to testify or give evidence themselves. Jon is also extremely passionate in his defense of others, that passion is persuasive to judges and jurors, it’s what helps to produce results. Jon is a fighter, he will not quit fighting until justice is served, it’s the only way he knows what to do, it’s why he’s a warrior!

Jon Katz represented me in a case where I was charged with speeding,, failure to comply and DUI. I felt strongly that I was improperly stopped as I was paced at only a few miles over the speed limit. Jon was straight forward that this was a slim margin chance of victory yet fought hard to prove this ...point. He was masterful in his strategy and more importantly in his cross examination of the officer and challenging the prosecutor. They were no match for his knowledge of the law and his ability to convince the judge it was an improper stop resulting in acquittals on all charges. He is an excellent attorney and all around great guy who even gave me a ride to the airport.

If you are here, I was in your shoes not too long ago and looking for a lawyer. I got a DUI and a felony drug charge with a marijuana vape pen in Prince William County, and I was sure my life was ruined, so I started looking at lawyers to try to salvage my situation as best as I could. Mr. Katz came ...recommended from a friend after looking and talking to 2 other lawyers, thank goodness I made the decision to go with him. He was very prompt in getting back to me (which was the most important thing to me), and we set up a meeting to go over what had happened. I noticed when I visited him that he knew what he was doing and would not bullshit me in any way and would try to get the best possible outcome. We shook hands and he gave me homework. I will emphasize that the homework is THE MOST important thing you can do to help yourself. The court date came and as nervous as I was, Mr. Katz came in very confident and that put me at ease. He consulted with me, then talked to the PA for a good 5-10 minutes but it felt like a lifetime to me, and came back all smiles. I got the best possible outcome for anyone in my position. I figured I would get the DUI so that was expected, but I was really concerned about the felony drug charge because I was originally looking at 1 to 10 years. This madman somehow got it dropped to a disorderly conduct and no probation for anything. To say I was relieved is an understatement, he single-handedly helped me out of a situation I didn't think was winnable. I would definitely recommend Mr. Katz to anyone because I know for a fact he will work hard to get the best possible outcome for you. Mr. Katz if you are reading this, I cannot thank you enough for what you did for me and I'm definitely grateful for all of your service and I'll recommend everyone I know to you!

Jon is the best lawyer you can find. I hired Jon after getting arrested for a DUI and then two months later was arrested again for another alcohol related offense. I thought there would be no way out of this situation, and that my future was ruined. From the beginning Jon was open and honest and I f...elt he would do everything to get the best possible outcome for me. He and his staff were always available for me. Jon also gave me homework to do while preparing for my court dates. I trusted Jon and followed his direction by completing all the homework he assigned. At the same time he clearly communicated possible outcomes and his plan of attack. He was able to give me the confidence that I needed to face an unknown future. Jon knows how the court system works, and for my cases, Jon entered the Fairfax County Courthouse thoroughly prepared and used this to his tactical advantage in representing me. For each of my court dates, Jon was fully prepared and ready to fight for me. My DUI charge was dismissed and the other charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. Jon literally saved my future. As others have said: DO what he recommends you do to prepare so he can fight for you. Have belief in him and respect his decisions, recommendations and gut feeling on how to proceed. He leaves no stone unturned in fighting for your future. His staff is excellent as well.
