He was also adept in questioning the opposing witnesses to where the judge dismissed the case. Mr. Katz was also very helpful in expunging my case. With his impeccable credentials, I highly recommend Mr. Katz if you seek legal representation.

A truly nice guy who made me feel like my case was a priority

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.
