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’.

A truly fierce advocate for his clients

I am fellow lawyer in the community and Jon is a truly fierce advocate for his clients who has zero fear of taking on the government. Having watched Jon in court, I have also seen that he is meticulous in his preparation and possesses a real knowledge of the law. Unlike many criminal defense attorneys, he engages in critical pretrial litigation that aids in winning cases or achieving better negotiated results. I have no hesitation in endorsing him.
