    The highest compliment an attorney can give a fellow attorney is that he would refer them or hire them. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with criminal defense attorney Jon Katz and can 100% say he’s extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He’s a true criminal defense lawyer through and through.

  • His eye does not miss a detail, and is quick to point out discrepancies in the prosecution's evidence

    fantastic attorney….defended me on a possession charge in Maryland. Was thorough and never skipped any details, I follow jon on his underdog blog, and have learned much. His eye does not miss a detail, and is quick to point out discrepancies in the prosecution’s evidence. I also enjoy his posting on trips to historical sites, as Jon is an avid fan of civil rights events, past and present…I would highly suggest hiring Jon whether it is a traffic violation, or a higher case.

  • He was worth every penny

    Jon is a great lawyer and goes the extra mile for his clients. I was very impressed with his knowledge in law regarding my case. I have worked around attorneys for the past 5 years and Jon was highly recommended to me by another attorney who is a personal friend. Jon not only knows the law inside and out, but also the courts personnel which is very helpful in determining your best outcome. He also gives the client opportunities to make choices based on his prior engagements with the courts citing case law and other attorneys experiences. He is also well respected by the other local attorneys, I can’t say enough good things about him. If you need an attorney in the surrounding area he has a vast network of experts and colleagues. He was worth every penny, even if you have bad luck and go up against a lean and unpersuasive judge. The courts are a gamble and I don’t gamble, narrow down the odds with Jon on your side.

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. Call 703-383-1100 for a free in-person confidential consultation and action plan for your court-pending Virginia criminal or DWI case.

How should a Virginia criminal defendant challenge a felony, misdemeanor or DUI prosecution?

Hire a criminal defense lawyer who will fight for you every step of the way in court, who will never judge you, and who always will have your back. That is Fairfax criminal lawyer Jon Katz's credo.

At your very first meeting with Virginia criminal attorney / Fairfax DUI lawyer Jon Katz, he will listen closely to you, and provide you with a tailor-made defense action plan, addressing his initial approach to pursuing your best defense in Virginia criminal and DUI court, and offering you proactive steps that you can take in the process. By the time you leave your initial consultation with Jon, you will be better prepared -- and likely more confident -- for what lies ahead in defending your Virginia criminal case.

Call us at 703-383-1100 to schedule a free in-person confidential consultation with Fairfax criminal lawyer Jon Katz about your court-pending felony, misdemeanor or DUI case.
