A defense objection bars amending a Virginia charging document to change the character of the alleged offense

May 8, 2017

A conviction cannot be obtained without a charging document that sufficiently puts the defendant on notice of the crime with which s/he is being accused. Raja v. Virginia, 40 Va.App. 710 (2003). The Virginia charging document for misdemeanors in District Court will be a warrant...

He thrived in this environment clearly navigating and strategizing the best outcome for me

I was charged with soliciting a prostitute and frequenting a bawdy place. The end result was dismissal of the first charge and a reduction to a disorderly conduct for the second charge with a steep fine. Jon Katz was my lawyer for five months to which he assigned me “homework” and tasks to help mitigate possible risks and show the court my good faith when the time came. It was a lot of work but has absolutely paid off. I have no regrets as to selecting Jon. He has an outstanding reputation as a fierce civil rights lawyer. He is direct and to the point with no sugar coating. No doubt I would recommend him to anyone. In fact, I would recommend going to his website and review the lessons learned videos in preparation for any possible arrest specifically about keeping your mouth shut! During court day, Jon “worked” all the players. He thrived in this environment clearly navigating and strategizing the best outcome for me. I really don’t think anyone could have done better in this situation. Jon exceeded my expectations and in this area, your lawyer is your best friend which Jon was!

I went from feeling scared I would lose my career, license, and other things to feeling confident and at ease.

After finding myself in a stressful legal situation I needed to find a good attorney. I made one of my best decisions by hiring Jon Katz. I had met with 3 other lawyers prior to meeting Jon, but after the first meeting I knew he was who I needed to represent me. I went from feeling scared I would lose my career, license, and other things to feeling confident and at ease. It is easy to see that Jon Katz cares about his clients and wants the best possible results for them. Throughout the whole process he always kept me in the loop and had constant communication with me, answering any questions or concerns. On the day of court he was very prepared and in control. He was able to get my original charge amended to a much lesser charge and I couldn’t be happier. Jon Katz is truly a master at his craft. If you need legal help look no further, do yourself a favor and hire Jon Katz.
