He single-handedly helped me out of a situation I didn't think was winnable

If you are here, I was in your shoes not too long ago and looking for a lawyer. I got a DUI and a felony drug charge with a marijuana vape pen in Prince William County, and I was sure my life was ruined, so I started looking at lawyers to try to salvage my situation as best as I could. Mr. Katz came recommended from a friend after looking and talking to 2 other lawyers, thank goodness I made the decision to go with him. He was very prompt in getting back to me (which was the most important thing to me), and we set up a meeting to go over what had happened. I noticed when I visited him that he knew what he was doing and would not bullshit me in any way and would try to get the best possible outcome. We shook hands and he gave me homework. I will emphasize that the homework is THE MOST important thing you can do to help yourself. The court date came and as nervous as I was, Mr. Katz came in very confident and that put me at ease. He consulted with me, then talked to the PA for a good 5-10 minutes but it felt like a lifetime to me, and came back all smiles. I got the best possible outcome for anyone in my position. I figured I would get the DUI so that was expected, but I was really concerned about the felony drug charge because I was originally looking at 1 to 10 years. This madman somehow got it dropped to a disorderly conduct and no probation for anything. To say I was relieved is an understatement, he single-handedly helped me out of a situation I didn’t think was winnable. I would definitely recommend Mr. Katz to anyone because I know for a fact he will work hard to get the best possible outcome for you. Mr. Katz if you are reading this, I cannot thank you enough for what you did for me and I’m definitely grateful for all of your service and I’ll recommend everyone I know to you!

Great Lawyer

Jon was introduced to us by a family friend, he is one of the top Criminal Defense lawyers in Fairfax, Virginia. From our first meeting with him, we could tell he was an expert in his field and during a challenging time he provided us with guidance and a comforting environment to work on my son’s case. When we had questions or needed his assistance Jon was always a phone call away. He worked diligently to support us through the complex process of defending our case and was able to secure a settlement for my son. I couldn’t have asked for better representation while we navigated a challenging time for our family with the added hardship of the initial Covid-19 lockdown. He fought to move our case along when resources were limited. I am grateful for the honesty and integrity he maintained throughout our conversations. You can count on him to take on difficult criminal cases and provide a winning solution. Our family will be forever thankful for his help.
