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.

  • Professional and thorough approach

    I’ve known Jon as a colleague and friend for decades. There is no lawyer who cares more about the people he represents and is more dedicated to a professional and thorough approach to defense of one’s Constitutional rights than Jon. He would be my first pick to go to if I ever needed a criminal law defender.

  • Savior sent from God.

    Mr. Jon Katz replaced my previous lawyer who was not providing proper services. The moment we signed the contract, unlike my previous lawyer he started to gather every small details about my 5 Cases (4 felonies and 1 misdemeanor) and even before requesting for a discovery he started preparing a defense strategy. He finally got me a ‘nolle prose-cue’ decision by the common wealth for all those cases. Although, I was innocent in the first place, Mr. Katz was like a savior sent from god to legally help me get a result that I deserved. I am a religious person so the way I would phrase my message to people looking for a Fairfax criminal lawyer is that ‘ Trust God first and Jon Katz after, for any criminal case that God forbidden you might face’.
