Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Excellent criminal defense attorney in Fairfax. Jon represented me on 3 very unfair misdemeanor charges the County was insistent on pursuing, including assault. In court Jon was able to get 2 of the charges dropped and a not guilty verdict on the assault charge without even having to put me on the ...stand (which helps for any potential parallel civil matters). His staff was a pleasure to work with and incredibly professional and responsive. Jon's direct style and approach is efficient and I was very thankful for it when I received a refund at the end that I wasn't expecting! Very glad that I chose him.

Always being trial-ready means not relying on settling the case, but having trial-readiness empower settlement negotiations. Thank you for the opportunity to have achieved this great trial victory with you.

The courtroom is a place of opportunity for justice for criminal defendants, despite the numerous landmines and hurdles. Those opportunities and landmines become revealed by deeply listening to what is happening and what may happen, and by being part of what shifts the dynamics to the favor of the defense. Thank you for posting about your positive experience with me in court.

My criminal case with Mr. Jonathan

Mr.Jonathan represented me in a complex criminal matter. He was experienced on all levels of the process and able to expertly guide me through the presentation of an effective defense. He was supportive, honest and truly invested in making sure that my rights were protected. Mr. Jonathanwas passionat...e in my defense and compassionate with all impacted parties. He was thoughtful, decisive and able to guide me through a very difficult situation while demonstrating the highest level of ethics. His ability to present the facts, argue the salient points, relate to the Court were beyond all my expectation. I had thought my case was hopeless when I saw the witness and the police present at the same time, but Mr. Jonathan has magic! After he talked to the witness for a while, the witness agreed to dismiss my case. I can't even believe it! He solved my biggest problem which caused me nightmares for the past six months! He dismiss my case straight away! He 's very patient. He fought on my behalf from beginning to end and I simply could not have asked for better representation from an experienced criminal attorney. I actually had another case which is way more easier than this one, I hired another lawyer for me but it went so bad, I waited for long time and it didn't get dismissed. After this case, I transfer my first case to Mr. Jonathan because I trust him and I know we will have another good result! Beyond all, Mr. Jonathan has a true passion for the truth and for his clients. I would put my life in his hands...and I did. I would recommend that anyone in need of representation take the time to at least consult with Mr. Jonathan. He will work tirelessly for you.

The BEST criminal defense attorney I've ever had

I want the world to know about Jon Katz. Unfortunately, my review will not post on the other platform we all know and love, but this must be made clear. I've been in and out the court system for over 10 years. I'm an 11x felon with a record that would make your jaw drop. So I've seen it all. From... a wide range of lawyers to the outcomes they can provide... Or so I thought. About 6 months ago I got in trouble and was facing some serious time. Guidelines called for 2 - 3.5 years. Off the jump I was denied bond by the magistrate. Jon went for bond and though it was denied twice (due to this being a repeat offense and a misunderstanding that I had FTAs on my record (which I don't) but nonetheless, Jon pushed for a bond motion every day and on the 3rd try we got it. While out on bond, he assigned me "homework" as people like to call it. Do. What. Jon. Asks. I have never in my life beat a charge. And I am so used to taking plea deals, I forgot lawyers like Jon still exist who ACTUALLY fight for you. Immediately he starts looking for inconsistencies in the police report and finding the best possible defense. And boy did he find it. He brought what he knew up to the prosecutor who then offered me a deal of probation no jail time. Normally, I take plea deals. Nope, not with Jon. He said, "you're not taking that because you don't want time hanging over your head if you get in trouble. We're fighting this today." Sure enough, we go in and I saw what a true lawyer looks like. Do not judge what your eyes see because he's an entirely different person in court - a TRUE lawyer in the very sense. He fought and absolutely crushed the prosecution. He had the Judge looking at the prosecutor and arresting officer in disgust! I had 4 charges, all nolle prosequi'd. Thank you Jon a million times over. I have my life back and I am finally out of the system for the first time since I was 16.

Hugely popular writer and artist Dav Pilkey gave an amazing talk at the national book fair, about transcending those teachers who tried marginalizing him for his hyperactivity and urged that he was wasting his time creating comics. When we do not let ourselves be pigeonholed, we can soar. Your past practice of pleading guilty did not need to be part of your narrative with me, and look at the great outcome we got. All the best to you. Jon Katz
