I Am very happy that I found Jon Katz he helped me in my case with his experience from the beginning to the end always working very hard, professional and studying every detail to get the best possible defense in my case, very confident and enthusiastic.

I have known Jon for many years, and know him as a tireless advocate. He is the kind of lawyer that other lawyers go to for representation. I have recommended Jon to many of my clients who needed his help as I know that they will be well taken care of. Five Stars!

Jon was an amazing lawyer. He really knows what he’s doing when it comes to law. I recommend Jon, he will fight for you. It was my first time going to court and was nervous but Jon made me feel comfortable.

A master of his craft. Jon’s professionalism and expertise got me a great result for my DUI case. Jon really cares about his clients and will walk you throughout the entire process with great service. I highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Mr. Jon Katz, Fairfax DUI and criminal lawyer, helped me in an unintentional incident that was by far handled in an incontrovertible way by local law enforcement, but the facts were controvertible. Mr. Katz sprang to the moment with such extraordinary defense tactics and strategy, that I was thoroughly amazed by his defensive smarts, legal defensive solutions, and uncommon acquaintance of courts and attorneys. I had a successful outcome and I’m glad to have him by my side.

Highly recommend Jon for all of your needs. He helped with every aspect of the case. He stays on top of the whole situation from beginning to end.

Jon Katz was very thorough with his work. He was attentive and cooperative the entire time I was tried. His knowledge as a criminal defense lawyer is astounding. Every detail I gave him, he used to my advantage in court. I recommend him for anybody in Virginia that was wrongfully accused.

Jon is a colleague that I have known for many years and worked with. Jon is a diligent, intelligent, creative, and hardworking lawyer. He is deeply principled and has flawless integrity in the practice of criminal defense. We often recommend Jon for cases we are unable to take.

Jon is an excellent lawyer. He not only represents his clients well but he inspires fellow lawyers in the community like me. There is no doubt that Jon will take every case seriously and he has the experience and the knowledge to win. Our community is lucky to have him. Kudos Jon!

I would like to share that I had a DUI on 10/11/2021. I just saw his reviews and called right away to him. Not only he accepted my case happily, but the way he talked to me was hilarious and hiller. I had the court date on the 17th of February 2022 and he did unbelievable job. My case dropped from DUI to Improper driving control. That was awesome and always thanks to him.

Jon is fantastic. Extremely easy to talk to, clearly knows law & is second to none. Best lawyer experience I’ve had! Highly recommend you consider him to stand by your side!

Jon Katz is a miracle worker. When he is in a courtroom, he is truly the master of his domain. He knows the judges. He knows the prosecutors. And he knows the law. And I speak from a very, very successful personal experience. If you are in a tough spot, don’t hesitate. Call Jon Katz.

I highly recommend Jon for anyone in need of his services. He provided me an excellent defense in my DWI and possession case. He fought for my rights and I had an excellent outcome in my case. I would not hesitate to use Jon again if the need arose.

Great attorney. Goes the extra mile for his clients. Highly recommend!

When I first met him I had the feeling that he is the right person who can help me out. I couldn’t say I was worried about trial, but because of Jon I had less pressure. He pulls out some magical skill when he talks to prosecutor. Before the trial, I have no idea what he said to prosecutor but I bet it was something amazing that the prosecutor offered RAC driving. He takes care his people like his family. I highly recommend to hire Mr. Katz if you got arrested for DUI.

Great in the courtroom, he does wonders!!!

Fairfax criminal attorney Jon Katz was very responsive in our time of distress. He was very understanding and portraying expert knowledge provided much needed relief. Always punctual in our communication and holding himself to the highest standards he achieved outstanding results in our case! Thank you!

Fairfax criminal lawyer Jon helped me tremendously with my case. Was very structured and was able to apply years of experience to my case. The outcome was favorable. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to any one looking for a lawyer who will fight for them.

After finding myself in a stressful legal situation I needed to find a good attorney. I made one of my best decisions by hiring Jon Katz. I had met with 3 other lawyers prior to meeting Jon, but after the first meeting I knew he was who I needed to represent me. I went from feeling scared I would lose my career, license, and other things to feeling confident and at ease. It is easy to see that Jon Katz cares about his clients and wants the best possible results for them. Throughout the whole process he always kept me in the loop and had constant communication with me, answering any questions or concerns. On the day of court he was very prepared and in control. He was able to get my original charge amended to a much lesser charge and I couldn’t be happier. Jon Katz is truly a master at his craft. If you need legal help look no further, do yourself a favor and hire Jon Katz.

“thorough ” would be my word in describing attorney Jon Katz….never misses a beat every step of the case. Starting with the arrest and miranda rights, Jon examines every aspect of the case. Especially important in d.u.i. cases is the breath results which Jon examines in detail finding any procedural flaws that might happen. Jon engages the prosecution like a samurai warrior in that he can absorb their attacks, and yet offer brilliant strategies in a calm manner. His years in court offer a perspective about the judge, jury and prosecution that are of priceless importance when mounting a defense. His daily blog on facebook is a great way to experience real life court . I would highly recommend this attorney for all legal matters.

FAIRFAX CRIMINAL LAWYER I met Jon two days ago. He had started driving from Fairfax at six in the morning – crossing nearly the entire state to defend me in a small town that looked like it was frozen in the nineteen-forties.

The town looked like a set for Mississippi Burning. There were some beautiful buildings – but it also seemed menacing. I had been charged in this small town, and had spent months trying to arrange an adequate legal defense – from my home in Miami.

When I was first charged, I was overwhelmed by the situation. I then did what you are doing now: looked thru online reviews for the best lawyer for my case. Jon fit the bill so I called him. Since then, it has been several weeks of intense back and forth with him. He runs a meticulous outfit, and his support staff was excellent. They worked very hard to collect and compile all the useful documents. Everything worked. No mistakes.

I had multiple phone conversations with Jon, but, because of the long distance, had not met him in person. The court date was two days ago. I had arranged to meet Jon in a diner a few blocks from the courthouse. Before Jon arrived, I was in pretty bad shape. I had made a series of stupid mistakes, which had led to the charges, and I understood that, if things didn’t break my way – I was facing serious prison time. Jon walked into the diner, and sat down across from me. He has more than a passing resemblance to Bobby Kennedy. He also has something rare: Star Power. People in the diner, and later in the courthouse, followed him with their eyes. He is a person who immediately meets your eyes, and holds the eye contact. It was like suddenly being in a John Grisham movie, and you are on the side of the angels. Think of it like having Gus Grissom from CSI Las Vegas, sit down across from you at a diner- and he says he can help you. Jon ordered a black coffee and lifted two huge brown paper binders on to the table. He carefully flipped thru pages that he and his staff had organized with tabs. He had all my important defense documents immediately accessible.

Jon and I walked a few blocks to the courthouse. The sky was a steely overcast slate grey. We went thru the security guards with their holstered Glocks. He went thru some heavy doors to talk to the Prosecutor. The court doors then opened and we were directed to approach the bench. The prosecutor was an attractive woman, in a perfectly tailored outfit. She started talking to the Judge and seemed to be advocating FOR ME! I don’t fully understand what happened, but Jon had arranged for the case to be amended downwards, and then an on the spot dismissal with no guilty plea, no conviction, and several thousand dollar fines were reduced to a hundred dollar court cost.

We left the Courthouse – back into the worn brick town. He drove me to my hotel in his vintage sport’s car. I was left standing there outside my hotel on a cold January day in rural Virginia. My life had changed in a matter of hours. Jon had saved my life.

Jon Katz is the person I would hire if I or someone I loved ever needed a criminal lawyer in Virginia. I have known Jon for years and have often talked to him about advocating for our clients. The enthusiasm for sharing and learning results in professional excellence. It’s clear that he’s totally committed to his clients and that leads to winning results. Jon’s clients are in great hands.

Jon is a great lawyer who gives everything he has to his clients. He is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that they get the best representation. I have had the pleasure of working with Jon on cases and I have seen how devoted he is.

Jon Katz has a genuine love of his profession. He is a powerful and captivating speaker who has a true presence. People listen to him. He is the real deal. This is a very caring attorney. Highly recommend.

I have known Jon for many years and he is an excellent attorney. I regularly refer clients to him because I know they are in great hands. He is knowledgeable, hard-working and will do what is necessary to get the best results. Highly recommended.

Jon is a consummate professional and cares deeply about the people he represents. He is an asset to the profession and is fantastic for anyone needing assistance with criminal or traffic cases in Virginia.

After being involved in a car accident in Maryland, I was charged with several violations that I didn’t feel were justified and it put me in a position where I had to find a Defense Attorney to fight for me. I was referred to Jon because of his reputation and ability to practice across state lines. I got lucky and Jon defended me like the true champion he is in the Courtroom. If you are reviewing this page, there is a reason for it and trust me, you need to look no further. If I didn’t truly believe that, I wouldn’t be writing this review now.

A very professional team. I was extremely grateful for the time and effort Mr. Katz put into my case. Mr. Katz and his team never over looked any detail on my case. I highly recommend Mr. Katz as an attorney to represent you or your organization, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Mr. Katz!

Jonathan is a great litigator and an even better person. He has the rare ability to stay calm and collected the face of tough litigation and adversity. He’s definitely someone you want on your side at a trial. I highly recommend him!

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.

The first time I met with Jon about my case, he made me feel confident with our decisions for how we will move forward and what to expect in court. I had spoken to a few lawyers before calling Jon and decided to go with him because he was a very positive spirit and dedicated to winning his cases. During the process I was very stressed and Jon would always remind me to stay confident and trust the process. In court, Jon was a fighter and never settled for anything less than what we were aiming for. He kept me up to date on everything and always forwarded every piece of information to me. Jon focuses on details about a case and will find a way to secure your future and reputation. He was able to get my distribution charge dropped which was a miracle for me. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for your freedom, make sure jon is representing you. Thank you for everything you did for me! If I get into any other issues in the future, I know who to call.

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.

I found Jon online after reading several of his blog post when I was falsely accused of a crime. Jon was quick to see me for a consultation and listened to my side of the story. He always made himself available to me and even stayed late to talk when needed. In a very stressful situation, I felt like I had someone who had my back. Jon defended me with the tenacity that you would expect from a big time tv lawyer, I was amazed at he stood up for me when the time was needed. Jon secured a dismissal in the case when that seemed unlikely. He has made the necessary referrals to other lawyers to help get this incident expunged. Hands down, without Jon I don’t believe I would have secured the only acceptable outcome to me in this case.

I contacted Jon after I received a DUI and refusal of breathalyzer charge. Jon immediately picked up the phone and scheduled an in person meeting the following day. I spoke to a few other attorneys over the phone and they all said the same thing – a DUI is hard to beat and at best it will be reduced to a wet reckless driving. After meeting I knew Jon was going to fight for me and was prepared to go to trial-something none of the other attorneys even mentioned. I could tell he cared about my outcome. Jon kept me up to date throughout the process – his communication was perfect. Jon compared my case to trials throughout the country and found a relatable case. He was able to use the relatable case against the prosecutor before my court time had even started. He explained the similarities in both cases. He also stressed to the prosecutor how important an unrestricted license/no ignition interlock device is for my career. The prosecutor agreed to reduce my charge to reckless driving with an unrestricted license. I was shocked!! I thought at best it would be a wet reckless, which includes much serious consequences. I would without a doubt recommend Jon!! He’s phenomenal at what he does!

Jon helped me get through a very difficult time! Jon is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and methodical with his approach to each case. He digs deep into the applicable laws and does a great job explaining everything to you and in return gives you a sense of comfort knowing that the person defending you, has your best interest at heart. Hopefully I will never need his assistance again, but if I find myself in a legal situation, I will definitely be calling Jon Katz!!!!

Jon Katz is a dedicated advocate for his clients. He is a go-to resource for fellow attorneys and his knowledge of DUI and criminal law is only matched by his zeal in applying it to help his clients achieve their best outcomes. He also truly cares and connects with those he works with. It is my pleasure to recommend him when I can.

John represented me 9 years ago and he was exceptional. Just recently I contacted him due to a job change and needed his expertise. Even though I requested for an urgent meeting he was able to accommodate me and within 15 minutes was able to provide me the guidance. He also gave me a supporting letter which turn around time was less than 24 hours. If you are looking for an attorney who is attentive to details, extremely knowledgeable and is willing to go above and beyond, then look no further than John. Thank you for everything!

Jon always returned my emails quickly. He did not charge a high fee, and he was able to get my case completely dismissed. My family owes him so much. I strongly recommend this attorney.

Mr. Katz was very professional, helpful, and most importantly knowledgeable. He is very passionate about what he does and truly cares about helping his clients. He is the real deal and was able to help me obtain successful results in my case. I had 10 felony charges (Grand Larcenies). He did his magic and made those charges dropped to misdemeanor. I am really thankful to have him on my side.

If you are looking for a Lawyer that knows his stuff and won’t give up until he wins, then he’s your guy!

Thank you again Jon 🙂

Jon is Great at what he does. A true Professional that really cares about his clients. I would recommend Jon without hesitation…Thanks again Mr.Katz for all you do!.

Jon is devoted to the craft of criminal defense, and he always seeks the best outcome for his clients. I got charged with marijuana PWID, and he fought his hardest every step of the way. He got me a result even better than the one I was hoping for. Long After my case was settled, he continued to help me with several issues that occurred during my probation, and answered questions very quickly whenever I had them. He is also very personable, and helped me relax during very stressful situations.

I picked Jon because he seemed to be a suitable DUI attorney in Northern VA for my situation. Was not disappointed since my cases were dismissed (thank you).

He speaks very confidently, quickly references legislation and runs through potential scenarios during each stage of the case. I don’t think he oversold his services during the consult and was honest about how my case could end up. Best option if you think your case will go to trial.

Mr. Katz is not only an incredible lawyer but he is a very caring person. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome on my case. I learned so many things just from the conversations I had with him. Make sure to listen to the things he has to say and to do whatever he asks of you to help towards your case. I’ve never felt more comfortable with a lawyer and I was very fortunate to have worked with him! You’re the man Mr Katz!

Mr.Jon represented me in a complex criminal matter. He was experienced on all levels of the process and able to expertly guide me through the presentation of an effective defense. He was supportive, honest and truly invested in making sure that my rights were protected. Mr. Jon was passionate in my defense and compassionate with all impacted parties.

He was thoughtful, decisive and able to guide me through a very difficult situation while demonstrating the highest level of ethics. His ability to present the facts, argue the salient points, relate to the Court were beyond all my expectation. I had thought my case was hopeless when I saw the witness and the police present at the same time, but Mr. Jon has magic! After he talked to the witness for a while, the witness agreed to dismiss my case. I can’t even believe it! He solved my biggest problem which caused me nightmares for the past six months! He dismiss my case straight away! He ‘s very patient. He fought on my behalf from beginning to end and I simply could not have asked for better representation from an experienced criminal attorney. I actually had another case which is way more easier than this one, I hired another lawyer for me but it went so bad, I waited for long time and it didn’t get dismissed. After this case, I transfer my first case to Mr. Jon, because I trust him and I know we will have another good result!

Beyond all, Mr. Jon has a true passion for the truth and for his clients. I would put my life in his hands…and I did. I would recommend that anyone in need of representation take the time to at least consult with Mr. Jon. He will work tirelessly for you.

His care and dedication can be seen in the results that he provides for his clients, and for other attorneys who frequently refer clients to him.

As a fellow attorney, I can attest that Jon is a top professional in his field. He knows all the ins and outs of the criminal defense. I came across his blog post on DUI defense while doing research for one of my cases and was impressed by the depth of his knowledge and the level of his experience. I incorporated his tips into my own argument and reached a very successful outcome. I can say with the confidence, you’re in good hands if he’s your lawyer!

I would definitely recommend Jon Katz to represent your case due to his vast experience, dedication, hard work (including his assistants) and character. Jon Katz and his assistant worked hard even after hours gathering all information possible to have the case dismissed.

I am fellow lawyer in the community and Jon is a truly fierce advocate for his clients who has zero fear of taking on the government. Having watched Jon in court, I have also seen that he is meticulous in his preparation and possesses a real knowledge of the law. Unlike many criminal defense attorneys, he engages in critical pretrial litigation that aids in winning cases or achieving better negotiated results. I have no hesitation in endorsing him.

I’m a 35 yr old college grad, with a typical NOVA contract gig, a growing business, and a family. I work hard during the day and at night I enjoy hanging out with my friend Mary Jane. We’ve been friends a long time and that friendship grew stronger after I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago. Usually we only hang out at home but one night in June, I decided to drive her to a friends home to share the love. Around 3 am I left my friends house and headed home.

Less than 2 miles from home, a Fairfax County cop began to follow me. After about a mile, the cop pulls me over. I ask what’s the issue? The cop responds that my window tint is too dark. I explain that I’m driving a loaner car because mine is in the shop. At that point, she says that she smells marijuana. And I immediately regret not spraying myself down before heading home. Well back and forth convo, a car search and drug field test later, I’m issued a citation and told that I am required to appear in court for the charge of marijuana possession (less than 8 grams).

After beating myself up for a day or two, I turned to google to find out exactly how much trouble I was in with this charge. After reading horror stories about possession charges in Fairfax, I stumbled across Jon’s blog. I read EVERYTHING and EVERY REVIEW. I emailed him the next day. He called me himself the next day. At the consultation Jon was very upfront about the process and expectations in regards to his rate, my homework, and the possible outcomes of my case. Most importantly, I left that consultation feeling like he was on my side and would fight for me.

The court date. I’m a nervous wreck, couldn’t recall simple details. I cried. Jon kept me in check and DID NOT STOP WORKING. Jon Katz fought for me. He worked that courthouse, speaking with the prosecutor, the cop, and whoever else he needed to talk too.

The outcome. The prosecutor decided not to pursue the charges…Nolle Prosequi!

My advice. Get the homework done. Don’t leave out any details. Don’t wait until the last minute. I would recommend Jon Katz any day.

I cannot give Jon enough praise for his services. His thorough communication, rapid replies to questions & concerns, and his proven legal recommendations provided a better than expected outcome.

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.

Jon has tremendous experience and a dogged pursuit of justice for his clients. He lives and breathes criminal/traffic cases and is a fixture in the local courts. Dedication and professionalism are just a few adjectives that describe Jon and his practice. I highly recommend him.

Met Jon at a public event and unbeknownst to me I would need his services soon after! I called him to seek his assistance and was surprised he remembered me and was very willing to assist! Jon is passionate about what he does and truly cares about his clients! I would highly recommend his services and do so without hesitation! You’re in good hand with Jon!

Jon is a fantastic attorney who clearly cares about his clients. I am a colleague who has had the opportunity to discuss case strategy with him, devising new approaches to old frameworks to get the best results for our clients. Jon is creative, passionate, and great to talk to. I highly recommend him as an attorney.

I hired Jon to represent me in a first time DUI case. From my first interaction with Jon, he came across very courteous and knowledgeable. It took me one meeting to know that I could trust Jon to deliver the best outcome. Jon represented me in a trial and was able to get a judgement of dismissal on all 4 charges. Jon is unbelievably good at his job and I would recommend him any day.

I have known Jon Katz, as a friend and fellow criminal defense attorney for well over 20 years, and I can say without a doubt that his skills and temperament make him one of the best around. He is my go to referral for anyone in or near Northern Virginia. Not only does he know the law and possess the skills to try a case when the need arises, but he also brings a peaceful, balanced, and personable approach to dealing with cops, prosecutors, judges, witnesses, and everyone else involved in the system, which serves the best interests of the client. You will find, as well, that his personable and accessible approach extends to you, as a client. He is top tier. Hands down.

Jon is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable lawyers in the Area. He is always willing to help and teach younger attorneys the ins and outs of the good practice of law. He is always prepared and has thoughtful arguments for the Court to consider.

Hands DOWN Mr. Katz got me the best possible result, a virtually not guilty for an obvious charge! Worth every penny! Just remember to do “The Homework ” he assigns you and have faith. Hopefully I will never need an attorney again, but he will be the FIRST one I call if I need to.

Jon is a resilient, persistent, and passionate Fairfax criminal and DUI defense lawyer. As his former legal assistant, I was able to witness first-hand Jon’s expert criminal defense practice. I sat beside him in court while he vigorously defended an 8-pound marijuana trial, where he obtained a not-guilty verdict. Jon puts in the hours for his clients, day-and-night. As a newly-licensed attorney, I strive to model my own practice after Jon’s, who sets the gold-standard for the legal profession.

A Man You Can Trust….
I not only recommend attorney Jon Katz, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further, Mr Jon is an excellent attorney who is genuinely concerned about the well being of his clients and goes above and beyond. We were facing a very tough situation with our criminal case, I wouldn’t have known where to start with our case without him, he is very persistent and fights hard to have the best outcome. His attention to detail and knowledge of laws are unsurpassed. I didn’t expect such a great outcome! Jon was patient, kept his word and was very understanding! He answered all my questions, even when I asked them several times! If myself or anyone I know ever need anything, I know where I would go or recommend! Mr Katz, a criminal defense. Thank you for having our back during the entire case, the charges were dismissed and we got our life back. I’m very grateful..

You will get the excellent support and representation from Jon Katz should you choose him as your lawyer. Never one to let details slide, Jon will work fastidiously to get you the best results possible. Quirky? Yes! Driven? YES! As a client of Jon’s, I can attest to his well-known reputation of dissecting all aspects of a case and his relentless nature of building a top-notch case.

Jon Katz is an outstanding attorney. I spent a lot of time searching for attorneys and honesty choosing him was the best decision I made. He is a hard worker and very dedicated. He is a guru in the court rooms. You can’t go wrong with hiring him. Don’t search anymore, just hire him, you won’t regret it.

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.

Jon does fantastic work for his Virginia clients and I am happy to refer people in need to him. Highly recommend for any charge you are facing in Virginia.

Tenacious and Fierce Criminal Defense Attorney with Courtroom Experience and Vast Network of Resources

His tenacity, fierce advocacy, preparation, strategic thinking, execution, negotiating skills and bringing to bear an incredible depth of experience from a career spanning several decades. Through Jon’s representation of me, I observed firsthand, what makes him so exceptional. I have deemed my observation of him as consisting of the “Six A’s” and will present them in sequential order.

First, Jon has “Access.” By this, the first thing you will understand is that Jon’s network of resources and relationships both inside the courtroom and out that may pertain to helping your case. Second, his “Availability” is constant as he is easily reached and immediately responsive to any and all questions or needs. Third, you will find that his “Awareness” of the geography of any legal defense case—no matter its level of complexity—is both broad and deep.

Fourth, representation by Jon demands “Accountability.” Every client of Jon Katz P.C. knows that “homework” and “self-improvement” are baseline expectations. Jon custom tailors these resources to you with the aim of improving your chances to their very maximum during negotiation with the prosecution. Fifth, Jon’s “Advocacy” speaks for itself at trial with his mastery of the law and legal procedure that is layered with a tenaciousness and relentless fighting spirit. He is courageous in court while calm with the client. And sixth, Jon is all about “Action.” He makes it emphatically clear that nothing matters in the end except winning a favorable result. Jon is passionately focused on action by way of delivering results.

Access, Availability, Awareness, Accountability, Advocacy and Action. These are the hallmarks of what makes Jon Katz truly exceptional and the only criminal defense lawyer in Virginia I will ever recommend for representation or referral. In sum, Jon is the living embodiment of the wise master’s most iconic words: “Do or do not, there is no try.”

I have retained many attorneys over the years and Jon is by far, the most honest, devoted and caring attorney you could find to represent you. He is relentless and passionate in the defense of his clients and is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in his field. I would give him my highest recommendation and urge anyone in need to retain him.

Jon is passionate and delivers excellent results for his clients. He is wise as Yoda and he uses Tai Chi energy to focus. I highly recommend him! Thank you Jon!

Jon and I are colleagues. I have found him to be very knowledgeable and professional in his work. I highly recommend Jon and his office staff to assist you with your matter. When you have a criminal case you need a quick response and competent legal representation, both of which Jon provides.

I have known Jon for years and have total confidence and trust in him. I refer clients to him without hesitation knowing they will be in the best hands. You can’t find a better lawyer for your serious criminal or traffic matter.

Jon Katz is a great lawyer. After some misunderstandings when I was 19 I sought out his council. He gave me confidence that this misunderstanding would be resolved and he delivered. Jon is an passionate and brilliant lawyer. I cannot recommend him enough.

Jon Katz and his team truly go above and beyond with their vigorous effort, communication, and sharp professionalism. The moment I met with Jon I knew he was the perfect choice, and both he as well as his staff were SO helpful every step of the way. I cannot recommend them enough!

Jon was exceptionally professional and very thorough. I chose him based on his google and AVVO reviews and can honestly say he’s genuine and determined. Would recommend him to ALL family, friends and anyone who’s willing to listen to reason.

Jon was a great attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of one

I stumbled into a misdemeanor charge; I responded immaturely to an act of aggression. My guilt was not in question, so understand there was only so much a lawyer could do for me. I had no experience with court and had no idea what to do or expect, so I turned to a law office I found on the web only to walk out more depressed after their gloomy outlook, Jail. It was a foreign cold dismissive experience talking to them, and I left wondering what have I done. My immaturity has put my future in their hands? I, fortunately even though I had little time, decided to continue looking and discovered Mr. Jon Katz. Jon, from the first meeting until our last contact, has a sympathetic warm way about him that engenders confidence. From the first meeting he focused on a method that not only developed his thorough interpretation of the event that led to my arrest but also with a focus on me, the human in difficulty. For some, that appreciation or sympathy may not matter, but it did to me. Jon’s method and candor helped me settle down and coup as I was depressed, unsure, and yes, scared. There are things suddenly on the plate to take care of when confronting a court case and Jon, and his staff, professionally promptly handle the court scheduling and documentation expectations/demands so all that potential stress is absorbed by them. But most importantly, it was Jon’s court savvy and experience that lead to a lesser charge. I was convicted as that was a given going in, but the punishment was community service not jail and for that I have Mr. Jon Katz to Thank. The last impression I choose to share is that Jon is driven, committed; Jon is a hard working determined legal mind. Mr. Jon Katz, and his prompt helpful staff, can help you prepare for and confront the court experience competently and confidently. Richard B.

I have known Jon for nearly 2 decades. At the beginning of that happy time, I was a whelp of a lawyer, and Jon always offered me mentorship and advice. I have merely offered him referrals of clients who might need his services. Every one of them has given me the highest praise feedback about Jon’s abilities.

Jon is the kind of lawyer who will fight fiercely for you, but do so in a way that is designed to bring down the emotional level in a case. That always benefits the client.

If you are in need of a lawyer, you will not regret hiring this excellent legal mind and kind man.

Very very nice and pleasant demeanor…listens and fights hard for you to get the desired results in your case. He has an uncanny way of persuasiveness to arrive at an acceptable conclusion …
He is a straight shooter … and Jon Katz is a credit to his profession…
***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Jon fights for his clients to get the best results possible. I highly recommend him and would use him again, if needed. He’s quick to respond and works around the clock.

He is skillful in spending his time in defense of the accused person; he has knowledge, morals, culture, thinking, reminders, perseverance, and endurance; as he has also confidence in himself and sincerity in defense; moreover, he is skillful in his ability to suggest to the judge the arguments to ensure to win the case

I say these words as a result of my experience with him, which he did not fail or refuse to.

I saw Jon present at a national educational seminar last month. I was very impressed by his experience, expertise and the efforts he takes to remain on the cutting edge of his legal specialty.

I am always happy when I have a criminal defense case to refer to Jon. He’s a tireless advocate for his clients, and I know the will be in good hands.

Jon is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable lawyers in the Area. He is always willing to help and teach younger attorneys the ins and outs of the good practice of law. He is always prepared and has thoughtful arguments for the Court to consider.

A few years ago when I was younger I got DWI and the next day was pulled over driving without a license since it was suspended due to the DWI the night before. Talk about double bad luck. Anyways I went to several lawyers but I didn’t feel they were the right ones until I went to see Jon. At first he didn’t want to take the case because he felt it was to easy and wasn’t challenging. Here I’m thinking he must be out of his mind, I’m in big hole with two different court dates and he thinks it’s not a big deal for him to take it on. Anyways to make this short, I ended up hiring him as my lawyer and he knew exactly how to handle each of the prosecutors for the different court dates and the DWI was reduced to reckless and the charges for driving on suspended license was 7 days restriction. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and it was a lesson learned.

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.

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.

What can I say about Jon that hasn’t already been said? The man is a genius. I called him the Mad Scientist because he is going find anything and everything possible to get the best outcome for your situation. The prosecutor tried to play hardball two days before my court date and Jon wasn’t phased at all and replied in kind. The next morning we had a favorable plea offer from the prosecutor. He likes to keep things light and that helps keep your mind off your situation. Jon wants the best for his clients and fights hard to that result. Prosecutors fear him and clients love him, you won’t regret choosing him to defend you.

Jon has a wonderful personality and the skills to match. Although he may be one of the most comedic lawyers you meet he is pragmatic when it comes to his work. Jon is a skilled lawyer who is able to consult and pull information from different sources allowing him to develop multiple perspectives on a matter. This allows him to navigate the legal gymnastics necessary in order to get the best outcome possible for his client.

I’m extremely happy that I was able to be represented by Jon Katz. He explained everything well and gave great guidance. He went over and beyond what was expected and it was much appreciated!

Know Jon as a fellow lawyer and we have consulted and worked on matters together. He is a diligent fighter on behalf of his clients. I highly recommend him!

Jon handled my case with attention and care, from start to finish. He kept me informed every step of the way and charged me a more-than-reasonable rate. Best of all, he got me a great result. That would have been enough, but he’s a truly nice guy who made me feel like my case was a priority. I can’t recommend him enough.

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.

This guy is a wizard. I was in a hard spot and this Yoda came through for me. It was a DUI case, and Jon got me down to a reckless with no driving restrictions, given the circumstances of my case.

I was faced with a difficult, hard to prove court case. Jon organized a team of experts at a reasonable cost. Then on the day of the hearing he negotiated a good offer from the prosecutor.

In the hearing room he told me that he saw a way to do even better. This amazing strategy proved effective with the case being thrown out.
