You're going to get a great defense .

I really couldn't ask for better representation in my case. I made a mistake, I found myself in court and Jon Katz offers a great service. Only out for money ? A cheap lawyer isn't good, a good lawyer isn't cheap.

No matter how innocent or not is my client, and no matter what mistakes were made or not, my approach is the same, never judging and pursuing your best defense. I am delighted that you are satisfied with my service. Jon Katz P.S. This reader's reference to lawyer fees possibly is in response to another reviewer's posting, which is no longer online.

Indoctrinating genocide

When the world is upside down and genocide with silence is the norm indoctrinated at churches: Jonathan Katz will defend you against liars called prosecutors! Defend humanity!

I know who this reviewer is, but client confidentiality rights bar me from mentioning anything that is not in the four corners of this posting. One by one on this commenter's points: I appreciate the writer's positive view of me. I oppose all genocide, of course. I fully believe in defending humanity, and criminal defense is a great way to do that. The writer's comments on churches and prosecutors are the writer's own opinions, and I will leave it at that, other than to say that being a prosecutor does not make a person any less honest than not being a prosecutor.

Well worth it….

Jon works thru the case step by step and is incredibly aggressive in your defense. He takes the time to meet with you, hear your side of the story and goes above and beyond what is expected. Some Defense attorneys in the area won’t even meet with you in person to review your case and the specific... details and circumstances. Jon communicates and works with you to formulate a strategy backed by extensive background of real world experience.

Top Attorney!

Mr. Katz is truly a top-tier attorney who specializes in his craft! I loved the fact that he ONLY focused on criminal defense and was never a district attorney for the commonwealth. I only realized this was important after talking to him and it clicked. Why would I want someone representing me that a...lso played the role of putting me in the worst position ever? If you're willing to fight your case, Katz is the person to have on your corner! He has great systems and processes in place that really help his clients come ahead.

I have never prosecuted and never will. To say it is necessary for a criminal defense lawyer to have prosecutorial experience is nearly as faulty as saying that being a succesful Jedi warrior requires having been a stormtrooper. Thank you for your review. Jon Katz

Jon Katz - one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the US

I have worked on many cases with Jon Katz as a fellow criminal defense attorney. His practice is focused on northern Virginia, but Jon is known nationwide as a premier advocate for the citizen accused. His clients get the very best advocacy and care. Jon is a leader in our community and a great gi...ft to anyone he represents. Semper Fi, Patrick McLain

Fighting for criminal defendants' best defense is essential, which comes not only from hard and devoted work, but with continuing to grow as a person and to improve as a alwyer. Patrick- Your words mean much to me, with my knowing you as I do. Thank you. Jon Katz
