  • Jon, thank you for giving my life back to me

    I’ve been in and out of the court system since I was 14. I am now 26. My last conviction was at 19 years old. 11 felonies, and convicted of all of them. I made a stupid mistake and because of my extremely extensive record, my guidelines were 2.5 – 3 years. Jon is the best criminal defense attorney I have ever come across. He may not show it in your face, but when it’s time for court, this man is ready at preliminary as if it’s trial. My 4 charges were all DROPPED that day. I have never had a charge dropped in my life. I always take a plea or probation. Jon took 10 extra steps and relentlessly followed up on tiny things others wouldn’t. After all was said and done, the judge looked at the arresting officer and prosecutor in a way as if to say “do you even know what you’re doing?” Jon, thank you for giving my life back to me.

  • He worked hard to get me a settlement so I could begin my new life

    Jon Katz was introduced to me by my cousin’s boyfriend. When I met him for the first time, I was worried about what would happen to my life and future. Jon said keep doing “your homework” to change myself. He worked hard to get me a settlement so I could begin my new life. I was really relieved about it. I remember that when I first went to his office, he showed me that he loves Yoda from Star Wars. After the settlement, I was relieved so I called him “Yoda God”. Me and my family really thank him so much for everything. I am adjusting to my new life and am happy in Florida.

Fairfax criminal lawyer / Virginia DUI attorney Jonathan L. Katz knows that Virginia has a harsh criminal justice system that fortunately is seeing some turnaround in terms of a chief prosecutor in Fairfax and other parts of the commonwealth who recognize the need to be more enlightened about the rights and plights of criminal defendants, and a state legislature that is bringing Virginia further from the criminal justice dark ages. Nonetheless, prosecutors have their own prosecution agenda and legislators serve their constituencies. One's criminal defense lawyer is a criminal defendant's only true friend in the courthouse.

A Virginia criminal or DUI conviction (under Va. Code § 18.2-266) risks not only penalties in state court, but also damage to one's reputation, career, security clearance, health care licensing, and immigration status. Fairfax criminal defense lawyer Jon Katz finds out what is most important to you for your defense and pursues your best possible defense while also pushing against the foregoing adverse collateral consequences from a conviction and against adverse sentences.

Among the many Fairfax criminal defense lawyers you may be considering, Jon Katz has successfully defended thousands of clients prosecuted for alleged Virginia felony, misdemeanor and DUI offenses.
