Call Us: 703-383-1100

Prince William County has one of Virginia's busiest courthouses. Located in Manassas. Virginia Criminal Lawyer Jon Katz, since 1991, has repeatedly defended clients charged with criminal and DUI offenses in the county court, which is located in a county adjacent to Jon's Fairfax County, Virginia office.

Although parts of Prince William County are rural, this is one of Virginia's second most populous counties, and includes such highly populated areas as Woodbridge and Manassas. On top of that, plenty of people pass through the county on such major highways as Route 95 and Route 66.

Prince William County has a law and order courthouse, making it all the more essential to have a qualified criminal defense lawyer.

Prince William County has had a thriving immigrant community, but the county is far from being at any risk of becoming a sanctuary county or having sanctuary cities. This is a law and order county, although the chief prosecutor, who took office in January 2020, is in some respects more reformist than her predecessor.

The Prince William County courthouse, in Manassas off of Route 28, has six Circuit Court judges, five General District Court judges, and five Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court judges.

Prince William County is three counties away from Washington, D.C., and its jurors are generally law and order jurors. who should not be expected to be initially skeptical about police and prosecutors.

Unless the criminal defense lawyer schedules a hearing to obtain discovery in advance of the General District Court trial date, Prince William prosecutors may generally only agree to sign an order to provide discovery on the trial date.

Typically, the first trial date can be continued on that date in General District Court; however, it is essential to have a lawyer present on the first trial date to avoid being caught off guard.

The Circuit Court's criminal procedural information can be found here and here.

Prince William County criminal lawyer Jonathan L. Katz has repeatedly defended cases in the Manassas court since 1999. To discuss your case with Jon Katz in confidence, please call his staff to schedule an appointment at 703-383-1100.

  • 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.
