Settlements are earned but not owed says Fairfax criminal lawyer

Settlements can only be earned, but are never owed to you. As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, I know that Virginia defendants often expect to be offered a plea deal, and want it to be a desirable plea deal. However, nothing in the law requires a...

He was masterful in his strategy

Jon Katz represented me in a case where I was charged with speeding, failure to comply and DUI. I felt strongly that I was improperly stopped as I was paced at only a few miles over the speed limit. Jon was straight forward that this was a slim margin chance of victory yet fought hard to prove this point. He was masterful in his strategy and more importantly in his cross examination of the officer and challenging the prosecutor. They were no match for his knowledge of the law and his ability to convince the judge it was an improper stop resulting in acquittals on all charges. He is an excellent attorney and all around great guy who even gave me a ride to the airport.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Excellent criminal defense attorney in Fairfax. Jon represented me on 3 very unfair misdemeanor charges the County was insistent on pursuing, including assault. In court Jon was able to get 2 of the charges dropped and a not guilty verdict on the assault charge without even having to put me on the stand (which helps for any potential parallel civil matters). His staff was a pleasure to work with and incredibly professional and responsive. Jon’s direct style and approach is efficient and I was very thankful for it when I received a refund at the end that I wasn’t expecting! Very glad that I chose him.

He worked with the court to have all citations dismissed

I found Jon Katz based on the stellar reviews on this site as well as other web search. I never had to hire a lawyer until now and I made the best choice! He worked with the court to have all citations dismissed in a federal I. class misdemeanor case with prejudice. The best I hoped before was a plea. I would definitely recommend him!
