Preparation for trial is needed, says Fairfax criminal defense lawyer

Preparation for trial is essential. As a Fairfax criminal defense lawyer, the foregoing statement is obvious, but must never be skipped. I write this while still glowing from a recent Virginia DUI trial win that followed a lame prosecutorial plea offer. Never go to your...

Virginia Criminal Lawyer on the Need to Work the Case for the Client Once Hired

September 10, 2017

Once I am hired by a criminal defendant, what is left is for me to work the case and fully defend my client. That holds true even if I ultimately realize that more work is involved than is reflected in the fee agreed to with...

Last year i was charged with a felony drug case. I met with Mr. Katz shortly after while searching for an attorney i felt would put in the work and go to bat for me. I had a couple bad previous experiences with lawyers in the past, but I quickly realized Jon was the lawyer for me. Mr. Katz was direct, knowledgeable, and took charge of the meeting in a way that gave me the feeling he was not easily pushed around in court. My case was put off multiple times, but Jon always kept me in the loop and ALWAYS responded quickly to my emails. In the end Jon was able to get my case dismissed entirely. Our family can’t thank Mr. Katz enough. If you are looking for a lawyer that will truly fight for you, hire this man. while other lawyers are goofing off. Jon is in the books searching for new ways to defend his next client.

Truly cares and connects with those he works with

Jon Katz is a dedicated advocate for his clients. He is a go-to resource for fellow attorneys and his knowledge of DUI and criminal law is only matched by his zeal in applying it to help his clients achieve their best outcomes. He also truly cares and connects with those he works with. It is my pleasure to recommend him when I can.

Supportive, honest and truly invested in making sure that my rights were protected

Mr.Jon represented me in a complex criminal matter. He was experienced on all levels of the process and able to expertly guide me through the presentation of an effective defense. He was supportive, honest and truly invested in making sure that my rights were protected. Mr. Jon was passionate in my defense and compassionate with all impacted parties.

He was thoughtful, decisive and able to guide me through a very difficult situation while demonstrating the highest level of ethics. His ability to present the facts, argue the salient points, relate to the Court were beyond all my expectation. I had thought my case was hopeless when I saw the witness and the police present at the same time, but Mr. Jon has magic! After he talked to the witness for a while, the witness agreed to dismiss my case. I can’t even believe it! He solved my biggest problem which caused me nightmares for the past six months! He dismiss my case straight away! He ‘s very patient. He fought on my behalf from beginning to end and I simply could not have asked for better representation from an experienced criminal attorney. I actually had another case which is way more easier than this one, I hired another lawyer for me but it went so bad, I waited for long time and it didn’t get dismissed. After this case, I transfer my first case to Mr. Jon, because I trust him and I know we will have another good result!

Beyond all, Mr. Jon has a true passion for the truth and for his clients. I would put my life in his hands…and I did. I would recommend that anyone in need of representation take the time to at least consult with Mr. Jon. He will work tirelessly for you.
