overincarcerated

When jail overcrowding leads to a floating prison barge

October 20, 2015

Ours is an overincarcerated nation. The situation is so bad that many years back, New York City added a floating jail/prison barge to its Rikers Island complex. That does not need much comment beyond pointing out the existence of the barge itself.

He helped us every step of the way
Mr. Jonathan Katz is an outstanding lawyer with our case. He helped us every step of the way. He is not a dollar sign of a lawyer, rich or poor he treats them with respect and care and will do above and beyond to get the justice done. He will never leave you hanging instead he will guide you through. Mr. Jonathan Katz treats me as a friend not just a client. We were in the middle of a family crisis when he handled my case. I don’t frankly don’t know how we would have done it without Mr. Katz. My family and I are so grateful for finding him. I highly recommend his law firm. Don’t think second thoughts, he is the only one who can help a person in desperate times.

His eye does not miss a detail, and is quick to point out discrepancies in the prosecution's evidence
fantastic attorney….defended me on a possession charge in Maryland. Was thorough and never skipped any details, I follow jon on his underdog blog, and have learned much. His eye does not miss a detail, and is quick to point out discrepancies in the prosecution’s evidence. I also enjoy his posting on trips to historical sites, as Jon is an avid fan of civil rights events, past and present…I would highly suggest hiring Jon whether it is a traffic violation, or a higher case.

A tireless advocate for his clients
I am always happy when I have a criminal defense case to refer to Jon. He’s a tireless advocate for his clients, and I know the will be in good hands.
