Waiving Rights with Police is Playing with Fire

June 10, 2019

Waiving rights with police is all too common by criminal suspects who do not have attorneys. As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, I know that it rarely benefits an unrepresented criminal suspect to relinquish his or her rights to remain silent with the police, to have...

Great Criminal Defense Lawyer

I must say after hiring Mr. Katz, I did feel a little skeptical, I felt like the pace for handling my case was moving to slow, as my court date neared I must admit that I was nervous but on my court date Jon sat me down told me what I maybe up against and this is what his counter offer to the Prosecutor would be. I provided the homework assignments recommended by Jon “Do The Assignments”, working his magic Jon presented the counter to the Prosecutor and came out with an Unbelievable result, I was so happy, basically I just had to pay a fine and everything else was dismissed. I understand no 2 cases are the same but Jon is Great!, he really does care about his clients and will go to bat for you. I will recommend Mr. Jon Katz to anyone looking for a Great Criminal Defense Attorney as always Thanks Mr. Katz For All You Do. One Happy Client.:-)

Homework Pays Off!

Jon is a bulldog. In a judicial system that treats each defendant as a cog in a factory, Jon researches all the inherent biases in the system and advocates zealously and passionately on his client’s behalf. In my case, due to Covid-19, I needed to wait 10 months for proper adjudication. Yet, at the outset, Jon advised me to do a long list of homework to help with my case (potential misdemeanors for DUI and reckless driving). I accomplished all of the homework as quickly as possible. At times, it felt as though the homework would not provide me with the outcome that I wanted – given how impersonal the court experience had been. Nonetheless, when the day came, Jon meticulously went through all of the homework, presented it in a holistic and systematic way, and negotiated an excellent outcome on my behalf (dropped charge; substantial charge/penalty reduction on the other). The judge openly noted how impressive the homework was, and he went further noting that my counsel was outstanding. I couldn’t agree more. At times, Jon can come off brusquely or hurried, but he is always on his game when the day in court arrives. And that bulldog approach is precisely what makes him effective. Thank you, Jon, for a terrific outcome!
