Virginia drug sentencing – Fairfax criminal lawyer weighs in

January 14, 2018

Virginia drug sentencing can involve stiff penalties. As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, I fight to win drug cases, and, for any sentencing, to obtain the most favorable sentence

He single-handedly helped me out of a situation I didn't think was winnable

If you are here, I was in your shoes not too long ago and looking for a lawyer. I got a DUI and a felony drug charge with a marijuana vape pen in Prince William County, and I was sure my life was ruined, so I started looking at lawyers to try to salvage my situation as best as I could. Mr. Katz came recommended from a friend after looking and talking to 2 other lawyers, thank goodness I made the decision to go with him. He was very prompt in getting back to me (which was the most important thing to me), and we set up a meeting to go over what had happened. I noticed when I visited him that he knew what he was doing and would not bullshit me in any way and would try to get the best possible outcome. We shook hands and he gave me homework. I will emphasize that the homework is THE MOST important thing you can do to help yourself. The court date came and as nervous as I was, Mr. Katz came in very confident and that put me at ease. He consulted with me, then talked to the PA for a good 5-10 minutes but it felt like a lifetime to me, and came back all smiles. I got the best possible outcome for anyone in my position. I figured I would get the DUI so that was expected, but I was really concerned about the felony drug charge because I was originally looking at 1 to 10 years. This madman somehow got it dropped to a disorderly conduct and no probation for anything. To say I was relieved is an understatement, he single-handedly helped me out of a situation I didn’t think was winnable. I would definitely recommend Mr. Katz to anyone because I know for a fact he will work hard to get the best possible outcome for you. Mr. Katz if you are reading this, I cannot thank you enough for what you did for me and I’m definitely grateful for all of your service and I’ll recommend everyone I know to you!

It's clear that he's totally committed to his clients

Jon Katz is the person I would hire if I or someone I loved ever needed a criminal lawyer in Virginia. I have known Jon for years and have often talked to him about advocating for our clients. The enthusiasm for sharing and learning results in professional excellence. It’s clear that he’s totally committed to his clients and that leads to winning results. Jon’s clients are in great hands.

Savior sent from God.

Mr. Jon Katz replaced my previous lawyer who was not providing proper services. The moment we signed the contract, unlike my previous lawyer he started to gather every small details about my 5 Cases (4 felonies and 1 misdemeanor) and even before requesting for a discovery he started preparing a defense strategy. He finally got me a ‘nolle prose-cue’ decision by the common wealth for all those cases. Although, I was innocent in the first place, Mr. Katz was like a savior sent from god to legally help me get a result that I deserved. I am a religious person so the way I would phrase my message to people looking for a Fairfax criminal lawyer is that ‘ Trust God first and Jon Katz after, for any criminal case that God forbidden you might face’.
