Jonathan L Katz headshot
Jonathan Katz

Criminal defense lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"A colleague unhesitatingly pointed me Elliott Bender's way when I needed to know the nuances of handling a criminal defense matter in one of Virginia's smaller counties. Elliott was at once a gentleman and on-point in responding to me quickly with the information I needed, in a Sunday voicemail that was at once directly responsive to my question and also very friendly in a folksy way. I certainly recommend Elliott's services."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
