Last year i was charged with a felony drug case. I met with Mr. Katz shortly after while searching for an attorney i felt would put in the work and go to bat for me. I had a couple bad previous experiences with lawyers in the past, but I quickly realized Jon was the lawyer for me. Mr. Katz was direct, knowledgeable, and took charge of the meeting in a way that gave me the feeling he was not easily pushed around in court. My case was put off multiple times, but Jon always kept me in the loop and ALWAYS responded quickly to my emails. In the end Jon was able to get my case dismissed entirely. Our family can’t thank Mr. Katz enough. If you are looking for a lawyer that will truly fight for you, hire this man. while other lawyers are goofing off. Jon is in the books searching for new ways to defend his next client.

I can say with the confidence, you're in good hands if he's your lawyer!

As a fellow attorney, I can attest that Jon is a top professional in his field. He knows all the ins and outs of the criminal defense. I came across his blog post on DUI defense while doing research for one of my cases and was impressed by the depth of his knowledge and the level of his experience. I incorporated his tips into my own argument and reached a very successful outcome. I can say with the confidence, you’re in good hands if he’s your lawyer!
