Virginia criminal statutes can be harsher than their plain meaning

September 27, 2022

Virginia DUI Attorney – Overcoming the Car Breathalyzer

Absolute genius

When I realized that I needed representation, I contacted Mr. Katz. I had seen the impressive reviews posted by happy clients, and so was encouraged to make an appointment. I was instantly amazed at his depth of Constitutional law, and was well pleased at how serious he took my case, which he won today. By the time he finished his closing argument, the plaintiff knew they had a fight on their hands, and he has NO reservations about speaking truth to power (meaning, the judge). I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Jonathan Katz. He will fight for you.

An outstanding job and the great outcome

I wanted to give a strong recommendation to Jon Katz for his amazing work in my defense. Jon is located in Fairfax Virginia and is a criminal defense attorney and also works DUI cases.

I was faced with a difficult, hard to prove court case. Jon organized a team of experts at a reasonable cost. Then on the day of the hearing he negotiated a good offer from the prosecutor.

In the hearing room he told me that he saw a way to do even better. This amazing strategy proved effective with the case being thrown out.

I want to express my thanks for an outstanding job and the great outcome. Your strategy was spectacular. Thank you.
