Virginia probation revocation – Fairfax criminal lawyer on penalties

April 13, 2025

Virginia probation revocation (VPR) proceedings can be very stressful on defendants. As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, I know that 2021 brought a great statutory change that limits penalties for alleged "technical" probation violations, versus new convictions that cause a probation violation. Virginia Code § 19.2-306.1 However, if...

In court, Jon was a fighter

The first time I met with Jon about my case, he made me feel confident with our decisions for how we will move forward and what to expect in court. I had spoken to a few lawyers before calling Jon and decided to go with him because he was a very positive spirit and dedicated to winning his cases. During the process I was very stressed and Jon would always remind me to stay confident and trust the process. In court, Jon was a fighter and never settled for anything less than what we were aiming for. He kept me up to date on everything and always forwarded every piece of information to me. Jon focuses on details about a case and will find a way to secure your future and reputation. He was able to get my distribution charge dropped which was a miracle for me. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for your freedom, make sure jon is representing you. Thank you for everything you did for me! If I get into any other issues in the future, I know who to call.

Dismissal of a complex case

Mr. Jon Katz demonstrated the breadth of his legal expertise and knowledge when I hired him to represent me in a particularly complex case. He explained the legal process in a manner easily understood by a layperson but was not at all condescending. Mr. Katz also adequately prepared me for my deposition to prevent me from becoming flustered in a setting where opposing counsel posed seemingly confrontational questions at a rapid-fire pace. He was also adept in questioning the opposing witnesses to where the judge dismissed the case. Mr. Katz was also very helpful in expunging my case. With his impeccable credentials, I highly recommend Mr. Katz if you seek legal representation.

Jon defended me like the true champion he is in the Courtroom

After being involved in a car accident in Maryland, I was charged with several violations that I didn’t feel were justified and it put me in a position where I had to find a Defense Attorney to fight for me. I was referred to Jon because of his reputation and ability to practice across state lines. I got lucky and Jon defended me like the true champion he is in the Courtroom. If you are reviewing this page, there is a reason for it and trust me, you need to look no further. If I didn’t truly believe that, I wouldn’t be writing this review now.
