Defending in Virginia criminal court

Defending against Bill of Rights violations is part of Fairfax criminal defense

May 10, 2022

Defending against Virginia prosecutions is my profession, and is about protecting the Constitution's Bill of Rights, mainly the Fourth Amendment right against unlawful police searches, seizures and arrests; the Fifth Amendment's assurances that a criminal suspect's affirmative assertion of silence not be used against him...

Truly cares and connects with those he works with

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.

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!
