Evidentiary rulings in your Virginia DUI trial

September 6, 2023

Evidentiary rulings in your Virginia DWI or criminal trial can be favorable, unfavorable or both. As a Fairfax DUI lawyer, I read with glee about a correct judicial ruling to exclude a blood test certificate of analysis (showing the defendant's purported blood alcohol level (BAC))...

Tenacious and Fierce Criminal Defense Attorney

Tenacious and Fierce Criminal Defense Attorney with Courtroom Experience and Vast Network of Resources

His tenacity, fierce advocacy, preparation, strategic thinking, execution, negotiating skills and bringing to bear an incredible depth of experience from a career spanning several decades. Through Jon’s representation of me, I observed firsthand, what makes him so exceptional. I have deemed my observation of him as consisting of the “Six A’s” and will present them in sequential order.

First, Jon has “Access.” By this, the first thing you will understand is that Jon’s network of resources and relationships both inside the courtroom and out that may pertain to helping your case. Second, his “Availability” is constant as he is easily reached and immediately responsive to any and all questions or needs. Third, you will find that his “Awareness” of the geography of any legal defense case—no matter its level of complexity—is both broad and deep.

Fourth, representation by Jon demands “Accountability.” Every client of Jon Katz P.C. knows that “homework” and “self-improvement” are baseline expectations. Jon custom tailors these resources to you with the aim of improving your chances to their very maximum during negotiation with the prosecution. Fifth, Jon’s “Advocacy” speaks for itself at trial with his mastery of the law and legal procedure that is layered with a tenaciousness and relentless fighting spirit. He is courageous in court while calm with the client. And sixth, Jon is all about “Action.” He makes it emphatically clear that nothing matters in the end except winning a favorable result. Jon is passionately focused on action by way of delivering results.

Access, Availability, Awareness, Accountability, Advocacy and Action. These are the hallmarks of what makes Jon Katz truly exceptional and the only criminal defense lawyer in Virginia I will ever recommend for representation or referral. In sum, Jon is the living embodiment of the wise master’s most iconic words: “Do or do not, there is no try.”

Jon, thank you for giving my life back to me

I’ve been in and out of the court system since I was 14. I am now 26. My last conviction was at 19 years old. 11 felonies, and convicted of all of them. I made a stupid mistake and because of my extremely extensive record, my guidelines were 2.5 – 3 years. Jon is the best criminal defense attorney I have ever come across. He may not show it in your face, but when it’s time for court, this man is ready at preliminary as if it’s trial. My 4 charges were all DROPPED that day. I have never had a charge dropped in my life. I always take a plea or probation. Jon took 10 extra steps and relentlessly followed up on tiny things others wouldn’t. After all was said and done, the judge looked at the arresting officer and prosecutor in a way as if to say “do you even know what you’re doing?” Jon, thank you for giving my life back to me.

Jon came through as always

Jon represented me for an assault charge during COVID. The case was reduced to disorderly conduct do to his excellent maneuvering during trial. I very highly recommend Jon for an attorney.
