An outstanding job and the great outcome
I wanted to give a strong recommendation to Jon Katz for his amazing work in my defense. Jon is located in Fairfax Virginia and is a criminal defense attorney and also works DUI cases.
I was faced with a difficult, hard to prove court case. Jon organized a team of experts at a reasonable cost. Then on the day of the hearing he negotiated a good offer from the prosecutor.
In the hearing room he told me that he saw a way to do even better. This amazing strategy proved effective with the case being thrown out.
I want to express my thanks for an outstanding job and the great outcome. Your strategy was spectacular. Thank you.
