Closest thing to a miracle worker I’ve seen

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.

Many people first come to me with their criminal court case being a micro of their more far-reaching challenges. When we resolve the micro, that can be a step to resolving the rest. I am very happy to have reached this favorable result for you, and that you put your faith in me to do so. Thank you. Jon Katz

Excellent DWI Lawyer

I hired Jon to handle my DWI and Marijuana Vape Pen cases. Jon was able to navigate me through the process and help me put the best case forward. My charges were given a nolle prosequi disposition and when enough time had passed he helped me through the expungement process. I would highly recommend... Jon to anyone needing his services.

Thank you for posting your review. I am delighted that we got your case dismissed / marked nolle prosequi, and then got expungement arranged. Fortunately, updated Virginia legislation eventually made the hash oil possession penalty no worse than for possession of dry marijuana. Virginia marijuana criminalization makes simply marijuana possession a civil offense carrying a $25 fine.

Quality

Last year i was charged with a felony drug case. I met with Mr. Katz shortly after while searching for an attorney i felt would put in the work and go to bat for me. I had a couple bad previous experiences with lawyers in the past, but I quickly realized Jon was the lawyer for me. Mr. Katz was direct..., knowledgeable, and took charge of the meeting in a way that gave me the feeling he was not easily pushed around in court. My case was put off multiple times, but Jon always kept me in the loop and ALWAYS responded quickly to my emails. In the end Jon was able to get my case dismissed entirely. Our family can't thank Mr. Katz enough. If you are looking for a lawyer that will truly fight for you, hire this man. while other lawyers are goofing off. Jon is in the books searching for new ways to defend his next client. Brian Wright Alexandria, VA

Thank you so much. Yes, otherwise dry writings in statutes and caselaw come alive for me knowing that they are additional potentially powerful tools in fighting for justice for my clients, kind of like watering otherwise boring-looking seeds. Thank you again.

Still in shock

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!

Client

I contacted Jon due to an extreme number of positive reviews online after receiving a Felony possession of Marijuana w/ Intent to Distribute charge. To be very clear, I'm a family man with a career and don't sell Mary J. I knew he cared about beating this case after just 10 minutes of talking to him,... oh and don't interrupt. During the middle of our first meeting I shared that a week prior i got a reckless driving charge and had a pending petty charge from my child's Mother. I presented Jon with 2 misdemeanors and 1 felony. Go Time Listen, focus, execute is what I learned from doing Jon's Homework, do the homework! Jon truly is a master a his craft and his staff is outstanding as well, Lori was terrific. He works extremely hard and dazzles in the courtroom with his knowledge of the law and court system. I must say that Jon truly helped my life in every way possible and I would recommend and have recommended Mr. Katz to anyone who needs an attorney for legal troubles. All 3 charges NOLLE PROSSED, you the man, Jon let's keep in touch !
