Virginia Misdemeanor and Felony Defense

Virginia prosecutions can be for alleged felony offenses, misdemeanors or both. Misdemeanors carry no more than up to one year in jail if convicted. A felony conviction carries over a year in jail, with the criminal law listing the maximum possible penalty. On top of that, some misdemeanor and felony convictions risk mandatory minimum jail time, with the judge having no discretion to depart below the mandatory minimum. Sometimes lower level misdemeanors are described as petty offenses. However, there is nothing petty about any criminal charge for the defendant, for whom a conviction can harm and haunt the accused person for years. Being branded a convicted felon is even worse. Virginia criminal lawyer Jon Katz applies his successful experience and history defending thousands of criminal defendants to pursue acquittals, and other results that are much more favorable than the original criminal charges against defendants. Obtaining great results for Virginia DUI and criminal defendants comes not from wishful thinking, but from a full court press, excellent preparation, devotion to each
client's cause, and treating each case as the unique fight that it is. Jon Katz recognizes each client as needing and deserving a high quality defense.
