Data drives police- Fairfax criminal defense lawyer on silence

July 22, 2026

Data gathering drives police, as does seizing contraband and finding smoking guns. As a Fairfax criminal defense lawyer, I warn you of the high risks of feeding police information and imagery, rather than -- as an actual or potential criminal suspect -- asserting your Constitutional...

He was prompt in his responsiveness

Hi l had an opportunity to interact with Mr.Katz. The issue l was facing was not something he normally handles. However, he was prompt in his responsiveness and went out of his way to get me in touch with the appropriate counsel that could help me represent in my case. This is something he need not have done. I am glad l contacted him as at least he steered to right path. I would definitely recommend him if you are totally clueless like me and are just looking for honest and proper legal counsel.

Impossible DWI case

Jon has represented me for my 2nd DWI charge with accident and BAC over 0.20, which seemed impossible to get out of. The case was reduced to a reckless driving. From consultation to case closure, Jon was detailed in every step of the way, and made sure I was aware of every single possible outcome. He will go all out for you, you just have to trust his work and do what he asks. I mentally prepared for the worst case scenario because my case seemed unsolvable. As I am writing this, I still can’t believe how Jon was able to attain this result. I will forever be grateful for Jon and his team for literally giving me a new life. Thank you, Jon, from the bottom of my heart.

He thrived in this environment clearly navigating and strategizing the best outcome for me

I was charged with soliciting a prostitute and frequenting a bawdy place. The end result was dismissal of the first charge and a reduction to a disorderly conduct for the second charge with a steep fine. Jon Katz was my lawyer for five months to which he assigned me “homework” and tasks to help mitigate possible risks and show the court my good faith when the time came. It was a lot of work but has absolutely paid off. I have no regrets as to selecting Jon. He has an outstanding reputation as a fierce civil rights lawyer. He is direct and to the point with no sugar coating. No doubt I would recommend him to anyone. In fact, I would recommend going to his website and review the lessons learned videos in preparation for any possible arrest specifically about keeping your mouth shut! During court day, Jon “worked” all the players. He thrived in this environment clearly navigating and strategizing the best outcome for me. I really don’t think anyone could have done better in this situation. Jon exceeded my expectations and in this area, your lawyer is your best friend which Jon was!
