A truly nice guy who made me feel like my case was a priority

Jon handled my case with attention and care, from start to finish. He kept me informed every step of the way and charged me a more-than-reasonable rate. Best of all, he got me a great result. That would have been enough, but he’s a truly nice guy who made me feel like my case was a priority. I can’t recommend him enough.

Never misses a beat every step of the case

“thorough ” would be my word in describing attorney Jon Katz….never misses a beat every step of the case. Starting with the arrest and miranda rights, Jon examines every aspect of the case. Especially important in d.u.i. cases is the breath results which Jon examines in detail finding any procedural flaws that might happen. Jon engages the prosecution like a samurai warrior in that he can absorb their attacks, and yet offer brilliant strategies in a calm manner. His years in court offer a perspective about the judge, jury and prosecution that are of priceless importance when mounting a defense. His daily blog on facebook is a great way to experience real life court . I would highly recommend this attorney for all legal matters.

He was worth every penny

Jon is a great lawyer and goes the extra mile for his clients. I was very impressed with his knowledge in law regarding my case. I have worked around attorneys for the past 5 years and Jon was highly recommended to me by another attorney who is a personal friend. Jon not only knows the law inside and out, but also the courts personnel which is very helpful in determining your best outcome. He also gives the client opportunities to make choices based on his prior engagements with the courts citing case law and other attorneys experiences. He is also well respected by the other local attorneys, I can’t say enough good things about him. If you need an attorney in the surrounding area he has a vast network of experts and colleagues. He was worth every penny, even if you have bad luck and go up against a lean and unpersuasive judge. The courts are a gamble and I don’t gamble, narrow down the odds with Jon on your side.
