In court, Jon was a fighter

The first time I met with Jon about my case, he made me feel confident with our decisions for how we will move forward and what to expect in court. I had spoken to a few lawyers before calling Jon and decided to go with him because he was a very positive spirit and dedicated to winning his cases. During the process I was very stressed and Jon would always remind me to stay confident and trust the process. In court, Jon was a fighter and never settled for anything less than what we were aiming for. He kept me up to date on everything and always forwarded every piece of information to me. Jon focuses on details about a case and will find a way to secure your future and reputation. He was able to get my distribution charge dropped which was a miracle for me. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for your freedom, make sure jon is representing you. Thank you for everything you did for me! If I get into any other issues in the future, I know who to call.

Extremely Effective Defense Lawyer

Where to start… Jon Katz was an absolutely incredible lawyer throughout my whole process… beginning, throughout, and even after. He is very knowledgeable, and he used everything he had to help get the Virginia shoplifting case against me completely dismissed. He gave me some assignments to do, based on hearing about the case, and I highly recommend doing/taking everything he says seriously. Doing so was another tool in his arsenal to get us victory. He was accessible, easy to talk to, professional, and an all round incredible lawyer. He helped to put me at ease throughout the process, and he fought for me. He took care of the entire process in a very smart and honest way. I’m so grateful for him and would highly recommend him for you too!
