Deeply thanking and bowing to Ken Troccoli and all other public defender and court appointed lawyers who pour their blood, sweat and tears into defending their indigent criminal defense clients.

ACLU alleges a Scott County, MS, court pattern of deprivation of individualized bail hearings and denial of indigent counsel before indictment

November 30, 2015

The American Civil Liberties Union filed an amended federal lawsuit alleging a Scott County, Mississippi, court pattern of depriving individualized bail hearings and denial of indigent counsel before indictment.

Reckless Driving
Mr. Katz represented me in a criminal defense reckless driving case in which I spoke to officers without consultation. This resulted in for “lack of better a word “discrepancies” in my statement and the police report . The “misinterpretation” of oral statements given to the officers coincidentally helped build a case for the Commonwealth. After hiring Mr. Katz he was able to pinpoint holes in the testimony of witnesses, officers stories, and the Prosecuting Attorney. Mr. Katz displayed a wealth of knowledge in the courtroom. Not only was he prepared with precedence he was also able to use his prior experience and knowledge in the court room as circumstances changed. Mr. Katz was able to obtain the correct verdict Not Guilty despite of false information and a coerced written statement and a “misinterpreted” oral statement.

He worked with the court to have all citations dismissed
I found Jon Katz based on the stellar reviews on this site as well as other web search. I never had to hire a lawyer until now and I made the best choice! He worked with the court to have all citations dismissed in a federal I. class misdemeanor case with prejudice. The best I hoped before was a plea. I would definitely recommend him!

Excellent DWI Lawyer
I hired Jon to handle my DWI and Marijuana Vape Pen cases. Jon was able to navigate me through the process and help me put the best case forward. My charges were given a nolle prosequi disposition and when enough time had passed he helped me through the expungement process. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone needing his services.
