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.

Testimonials

  • He kept it real with me throughout the entire process and treated me with utmost respect.

    Back in October last year I was arrested and charged with a DUI, and honestly thought my life was going to fall apart (lose my license, job etc). My mom searched really hard for the best lawyer for my case and when she stumbled on Jon’s page we both knew we had to meet with him. After one meeting all the lost hope was returned and I was immediately motivated to do whatever he asked of me and made sure to pay close attention to everything he told me. His knowledge of the law is almost unreal. Things you would never even expect to think he has an answer for everything. He kept it real with me throughout the entire process and treated me with utmost respect. My DUI was dropped to a reckless and it was the best possible outcome I could have asked for. If you’re in need of a criminal defense attorney Please do yourself a favor if you are fortunate enough and hire Jon Katz I will never forget my experience with him. THANK YOU JON

  • He was prompt in his responsiveness

    Hi l had an opportunity to interact with Mr.Katz. The issue l was facing was not something he normally handles. However, he was prompt in his responsiveness and went out of his way to get me in touch with the appropriate counsel that could help me represent in my case. This is something he need not have done. I am glad l contacted him as at least he steered to right path. I would definitely recommend him if you are totally clueless like me and are just looking for honest and proper legal counsel.

  • Extremely Effective Defense Lawyer

    Where to start… Jon Katz was an absolutely incredible lawyer throughout my whole process… beginning, throughout, and even after. He is very knowledgeable, and he used everything he had to help get the Virginia shoplifting case against me completely dismissed. He gave me some assignments to do, based on hearing about the case, and I highly recommend doing/taking everything he says seriously. Doing so was another tool in his arsenal to get us victory. He was accessible, easy to talk to, professional, and an all round incredible lawyer. He helped to put me at ease throughout the process, and he fought for me.  He took care of the entire process in a very smart and honest way. I’m so grateful for him and would highly recommend him for you too!
