He is top tier. Hands down.
I have known Jon Katz, as a friend and fellow criminal defense attorney for well over 20 years, and I can say without a doubt that his skills and temperament make him one of the best around. He is my go to referral for anyone in or near Northern Virginia. Not only does he know the law and possess the skills to try a case when the need arises, but he also brings a peaceful, balanced, and personable approach to dealing with cops, prosecutors, judges, witnesses, and everyone else involved in the system, which serves the best interests of the client. You will find, as well, that his personable and accessible approach extends to you, as a client. He is top tier. Hands down.
