Nervousness & torn lottery play slips do not permit a drug search

Homework Pays Off!

Jon is a bulldog. In a judicial system that treats each defendant as a cog in a factory, Jon researches all the inherent biases in the system and advocates zealously and passionately on his client’s behalf. In my case, due to Covid-19, I needed to wait 10 months for proper adjudication. Yet, at the outset, Jon advised me to do a long list of homework to help with my case (potential misdemeanors for DUI and reckless driving). I accomplished all of the homework as quickly as possible. At times, it felt as though the homework would not provide me with the outcome that I wanted – given how impersonal the court experience had been. Nonetheless, when the day came, Jon meticulously went through all of the homework, presented it in a holistic and systematic way, and negotiated an excellent outcome on my behalf (dropped charge; substantial charge/penalty reduction on the other). The judge openly noted how impressive the homework was, and he went further noting that my counsel was outstanding. I couldn’t agree more. At times, Jon can come off brusquely or hurried, but he is always on his game when the day in court arrives. And that bulldog approach is precisely what makes him effective. Thank you, Jon, for a terrific outcome!

He is simply outstanding!

Jon Katz is an excellent lawyer. I’ve known him for more than two decades and have always been extremely impressed by his knowledge of the law and his dedication to his clients. I am a lawyer but I am not licensed in Virginia. Mr. Katz is my “go-to” lawyer there. I regularly refer clients to him and feel confident that they are in the best hands. I have watched Mr. Katz in trial and have learned from observing his skill and finesse. He is simply outstanding!
