Jon Katz demonstrated exceptional legal expertise in reducing a challenging DUI charge (BAC >0.15) to reckless driving and a civil refusal in a strict court, skillfully navigating three prosecutorial witnesses and my regrettable actions during the arrest. His strategic brilliance, including a last-mi...nute confirmation from an immigration lawyer, masterful negotiation skills, and cultural savvy led to a significantly better outcome than anticipated. Supported by the compassionate and responsive team of Shay and Jocelyn, Jon Katz and his team provided professional, relentless, and clutch decision-making, earning a strong recommendation for anyone needing a top-tier defense attorney.

Jon Katz is an exceptional criminal defense lawyer. Facing a first-time DWI charge with a 0.11 BAC, I was extremely worried as my case headed toward trial. Jon was always available to discuss my case, guide me through the process, and address my concerns. On the trial date, he skillfully negotiated w...ith the prosecutor, securing an amendment to reckless driving. This outcome has significantly improved my record and employment prospects. I highly recommend Jon Katz to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable defense attorney.

I found Jon online while faced with the seemingly insurmountable legal battle ahead after my first DUI arrest in Virginia. From our first meeting, I could tell that Jon was eager to fight for me to get the best possible outcome considering my circumstances. We discussed in detail the case options, ap...proaches, and defense tactics from all angles which helped put my mind at ease, knowing that He knew the system and was ready to tackle my case. I retianed Jon and his team during my initial meeting because I did not feel that I could have found a better lawyer base on the evidence mounting in my case. During the next several months, Jon and I worked closely to built a strong defensive, working through his action plan and wading through the Court's process and a few delays. I was consistently updated on the case progress along with regulator communication and check-ups to make sure we were on track with the action plan. I sincerely appreciate how hard Jon and his assistant Rachel worked towards building the very best defense before trial. In the end I agreed to a comprised judgment which did include penalties. But those penalties were fair and ultimately the consequences that I deserved because of my DUI. The judgment could have been 10 times more severe, based on the Commonwealth's minimum penalties and my case evidence, but because of Jon's knowledge of the system and solid plan for defense, I am pleased with the overall outcome. I truly feel that if I had hired any other lawyer, I would be facing a more severe and lengthy penalty. Simply put, I made a mistake, I received the best case scenario penalty from the Judge and this could not have happened without Jon's representation. Thomas H

I hired Jon Katz – a DUI and criminal lawyer based in Fairfax, Virginia – on the recommendation of a friend; best decision I ever made. I was scared and anxious because I had never been in this type of situation; I have a clean driving record but I blew .15 BAC in Maryland and received about 6 or so ...total tickets, including a DWI AND a DUI ticket. From our very first meeting I felt that I had made the right decision. He immediately gave me various HW to do. These HWs were anything from Victim Impact Panel classes to Driver Improvement classes and so on. At every stage of the way, Jon and his extraordinarily efficient office staff – Abby and Rachel – were there for me and I knew I was in good hands. On the day of the trial Jon was in his element as he strove to do the very best for me. And the outcome was truly amazing; he secured my acquittal from the DWI and DUI charges. I will forever be indebted to him; I cannot recommend him highly enough.

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.
