The best choice to make

Jon really made the difference; He had a handle on the entire process and led in a confident and professional manner. He really put my mind at ease with his perceived expectations, the game plan he put in place leading up to court and navigating through all the hurdles we encountered. He has a deep s...ocial and professional skill set that I got to see firsthand, I was very impressed. I feel that if I had any other representation other than Jon I would have not gotten the same care, attention to detail or result delivered. His support staff (Jocelyn, Tiffany, and Abby) during my time with Jon were always there to deliver needed documents, schedule meetings and answer any questions I had. Do not look any further! With Jon as your advocate, his staff there to aid you and working the plan set in place you will not be disappointed at all.

Overcovering risk is very important for criminal defense. What approach(es) will win is not always known, so a full arsenal of proverbial weaponry and ammunition must be at the ready for the court date. My staff and I relentlessly pursue our clients' best defense. Thank you for your review. Jon Katz

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

Highly Skilled and Trustworthy Lawyer

I had an excellent experience working with Jon. He is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping with my situation. He took the time to clearly explain my options, answered all my questions, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was his con...fidence and expertise in handling my case. Thanks to Jon, the outcome was much better than I expected. I highly recommend Jon to anyone in need of a reliable and effective criminal defense lawyer. He truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to deliver results.

I could not ask for a better result considering my challenging situation

Earlier this year I was charged with a serious crime that would have put my entire career and reputation in jeopardy. I hired Jon in April and he was very honest about possible outcomes and our defenses. Over the next six months he worked tirelessly to prepare for my trial , putting in countless ho...urs working closely with me, while also getting many of his knowledgeble peers involved to make sure no stone was unturned. His staff did a great job with comminication and keeping me informed throughtout. My case was dismissed on trial date earlier this month. First time in over six months, I felt like I had my life back and could breathe a sigh of relief. I would highly recommend Jon Katz to anyone looking for an excellent and caring criminal defense attorney!

The only thing better than a prosecution dismissal (which you got) is an acquittal. Thank you for taking the time to discuss your positive experience with me. Jon Katz
