Knowledgeable, hard-working and will do what is necessary to get the best results

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.

He thrived in this environment clearly navigating and strategizing the best outcome for me

I was charged with soliciting a prostitute and frequenting a bawdy place. The end result was dismissal of the first charge and a reduction to a disorderly conduct for the second charge with a steep fine. Jon Katz was my lawyer for five months to which he assigned me “homework” and tasks to help mitigate possible risks and show the court my good faith when the time came. It was a lot of work but has absolutely paid off. I have no regrets as to selecting Jon. He has an outstanding reputation as a fierce civil rights lawyer. He is direct and to the point with no sugar coating. No doubt I would recommend him to anyone. In fact, I would recommend going to his website and review the lessons learned videos in preparation for any possible arrest specifically about keeping your mouth shut! During court day, Jon “worked” all the players. He thrived in this environment clearly navigating and strategizing the best outcome for me. I really don’t think anyone could have done better in this situation. Jon exceeded my expectations and in this area, your lawyer is your best friend which Jon was!

He was able to get my case completely dismissed

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.
