Taking the community service task by the horns

January 4, 2016

My community service recommendations come in the context of my advising my criminal defense clients to complete some tasks or "homework" to assist in negotiating their cases and to assist with any possible sentencing.

Very knowledgeable and professional

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.

He takes care his people like his family

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.

Jon is such a kind man and takes his cases very personally

Jon is an absolute master of his craft with a passion to defend his clients! I was unjustly charged with drunk in public at a national airport for wearing a world cup jersey and “smelling of alcohol.” My airline refused my boarding and called the police and without any questioning, I was arrested perfectly sober.

Jon fought for me in court and took my drunk in public case all the way to trial where he hammered the arresting offer for not offering me any sort of intoxication test and for not displaying any drunk in public attributes. It is unheard of to be found not guilt of a drunk in public, yet Jon knew my innocence and knew I was unjustly arrested.

Jon is such a kind man and takes his cases very personally. No matter how small or large your case, Jon will get you the results you need and I highly recommend him for his unbelievable experience and for being a master of his craft. There is no lawyer like Jon and you can count on him to keep you informed and comfortable throughout the entire process.

Jon is the man and I can’t thank him enough for having my found not guilty under a jury trial and beating the unjust system!
