Winning in Court & in Friendship

I had the privilege of working with Jacob Katz. as my lawyer for a DUl case, beginning in August 2023 and culminating in a successful resolution on May 10, 2024. From the outset, Mr. Katz demonstrated unparalleled dedication and professionalism in handling my legal matters. Throughout the entire p...rocess, Mr. Katz proved to be exceedingly helpful and attentive to every detail of my DUl case. His communication was impeccable, with prompt responses that kept me informed and reassured at every step. Even amidst the inherent stress of DUl proceedings, Mr. Katz's calm demeanor and strategic guidance were invaluable in navigating the complexities of the court system. Mr. Katz's expertise and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident in his meticulous approach to my DUl case. His knowledge of DUl laws, coupled with his unwavering advocacy on my behalf, resulted in a favorable resolution that exceeded mv expectations. Having experienced Mr. Katz's exceptional legal representation firsthand, I confidently assert that he is one of the best lawyers in San Diego. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob Katz to anyone in need of skilled and compassionate legal representation. His professionalism, attentiveness, and ability to alleviate the stress of DUl matters make him an invaluable asset to his clients. Thank you, Mr. Katz, for your outstanding service and dedication to achieving justice.

Satisfied

I hired my lawyer for a Domestic Violence case and he was able to mitigate my case with charges that had probation, fines, classes and many more for a couple of years, to charges that will dismiss my case within a year. This allowed me to continue school and find job opportunities.

An Amazing Lawyer & Human Being

Where to begin, if not from the beginning, so there is where I will start. My young adult son was falsely accused of a terrible crime. My son vehemently denied the accusations. Those accusations and the accuser’s purported evidence was presented to local law enforcement and subsequently reviewed by t...he county district attorney. The investigation was closed without charges being brought against my son. His accuser then felt it would be appropriate to post on social media my son’s picture, name and the location of his home and where he attends school, making their salacious accusations public. This individual also reached out to friends and family, promulgating their lies about my son to an even more direct audience. Requests to remove these posts and stop the behavior were met with more posts and lies. When a reasonable solution couldn’t be had, we reached out to the Law Office of Kerry Armstrong, and that is where we met Jacob Katz. Mr. Katz took the time to understand the circumstances and nuances of my son’s case. He made sure to cover all the evidentiary bases and build a strategy that was best suited for my son’s case, what he was going through and ultimately what my son wanted to achieve. Along the way, as the case and the many curveballs that came with it, took their toll on all of us, Mr. Katz took the time to explain our options, change the strategy where needed and moreover, show empathy that served to reassure us that we were not alone in our endeavor to get justice for my son. We knew that if we needed some reassurance, and we certainly did from time to time through this unfortunate experience, Mr. Katz would make himself available to us, because whenever we called he made the time to shore us up (even while his dinner was getting cold). When it came to game day, Mr. Katz was prepared, composed and offered a measured response as the defendant continued their erratic behavior. When the opportunity to settle was identified, Mr. Katz counseled us on our options and played a good shepherd to what we ultimately came to view as a win for my son. We can not say enough about the experience, skill and humanity Mr. Katz displayed through this horrible experience. While I hope we never need Mr. Katz’s services again, he would be the first person we called if we ever found ourselves or a loved one in legal peril.
