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.

He fought his hardest every step of the way

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 could tell he cared about my outcome

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!
