Prostitution defense calls for a full court press.

Prostitution Lawyer / Fairfax Solicitation Attorney / Virginia Criminal Lawyer

Fairfax criminal lawyer Jon Katz knows that law enforcement too often sinks scarce money and personnel resources into catching alleged prostitutes and their customers, rather than focusing on more important law enforcement priorities.

Fairfax criminal lawyer knows the importance of fully fighting such prosecutions

A prostitution or bawdy place arrest and conviction are not avoided merely by pointing out that the sky has far from fallen in Nevada, Europe nor anywhere else where such activity is legal and regulated.

Don't fall for Virginia police stings

A common formula of Virginia police prostitution stings is to lure a suspect to a hotel with an ad on such online sites as Backpage or Eros, have the would-be provider soon ask the client about his sex act preferences and whether he has a condom and then excuse herself to go the bathroom, followed by the police nabbing the customer sometimes after the customer has started removing his pants. The police then try to finish off the job by seeking a confession from the suspect. Silence remains golden when a police suspect.

Look out for any holes in the prosecution's case

The three elements of such an offense in Virginia are [1] offering “money or its equivalent to another [2] for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts as enumerated in subsection A and [3] thereafter [doing] any substantial act in furtherance thereof.” Va. Code § 18.2-346. If the prosecutor is unable to prove even one of those elements beyond a reasonable doubt, an acquittal is necessary.

Proactive steps may be beneficial for Virginia prostitution defendants

For purposes of case negotiations and possible sentencing, I often advise my clients accused of such offenses to do the following in advance of the trial date: (1) obtain a clean HIV/AIDS blood test; (2) complete at least twenty-four hours of documented voluntary community service; and (3) seek a positive prognosis from a psychologist not to commit future offenses of this law. In addition, I might advise a client to consider making advance arrangements to attend the John school in Richmond, Virginia.

A Virginia prostitution conviction is a scarlet letter, and can threaten one’s security clearance, employment, and immigration status. Such charges need to be fought tooth and nail.

Mr Jon is an example of what an ideal attorney should be. He handled my case with professionalism

I was going through such a tough time with my case and did not want to have to worry about all the legal details involved with it. I had legal attorneys in the past who did not listen to my concerns or have the patience to deal with all the intricacies of what I was going through. Jon from the Fairfax County court helped me through all of it. Not only did he listen, he cared. He made sure to provide everything I needed whilst going through such a stressful time. I believed it would take so much longer due to the complexity of my case, but he managed to close the case in the span of 2 days. I thank him for getting to the end of the case in such a timely manner. I highly recommend him as your legal attorney.

I can’t explain in words how much Jon fought for me.

Let me begin by saying that finding a good attorney is among the hardest decision I had to make but finding a top-notch attorney even harder. When I was looking for an attorney, I was looking for the number 1, and Jon Katz is that and much more. His will, dedication, humbleness, thrill to fight for you and knowledge of the law is among the finest I seen.

As many of you, I made bad decisions. My case was a very complex one to the point that my reputation, career, and everything I worked for was on the line. The case got so complicated that I could have end a good time in prison. Sometimes I had doubts about how things will end up. However, one thing I had zero doubts was on who I had on my side as my Attorney. I trusted Jon all the way. I remember going with Jon for my first hearing and noticed how Jon walked around the court room like he owns it. I don’t go to court rooms often, but I can tell you not many people walk to rooms with authority & confidence, but Jon Katz does.

To finalize, do your homework. Jon will tell you straight up what you need to do to help your case. Just do it, and the rest leave it to Jon as he will fight for you to the death. And when I mean he will fight; I can’t explain in words how much Jon fought for me. Jon completely saved my reputation. His negotiation with the prosecutor & detectives was the an outstanding outcome. Stop searching any further, and call Jon Katz (El Gato). You will be in excellent hands.
