William Melendez’s dashcamera beating of an African-American man is another reason to strengthen the right to tape police

February 3, 2016

I was about to say how much former officer Melendez's brutality against Floyd Dent -- compounded by the other numerous assembled cops acting as a united front with Melendez rather than stepping up against his brutality -- shows how so much in this world is...

Always working very hard, professional and studying every detail

I can’t explain in words how much Jon fought for me.

Let me begin by saying that finding a good attorney is among the hardest decision I had to make but finding a top-notch attorney even harder. When I was looking for an attorney, I was looking for the number 1, and Jon Katz is that and much more. His will, dedication, humbleness, thrill to fight for you and knowledge of the law is among the finest I seen.

As many of you, I made bad decisions. My case was a very complex one to the point that my reputation, career, and everything I worked for was on the line. The case got so complicated that I could have end a good time in prison. Sometimes I had doubts about how things will end up. However, one thing I had zero doubts was on who I had on my side as my Attorney. I trusted Jon all the way. I remember going with Jon for my first hearing and noticed how Jon walked around the court room like he owns it. I don’t go to court rooms often, but I can tell you not many people walk to rooms with authority & confidence, but Jon Katz does.

To finalize, do your homework. Jon will tell you straight up what you need to do to help your case. Just do it, and the rest leave it to Jon as he will fight for you to the death. And when I mean he will fight; I can’t explain in words how much Jon fought for me. Jon completely saved my reputation. His negotiation with the prosecutor & detectives was the an outstanding outcome. Stop searching any further, and call Jon Katz (El Gato). You will be in excellent hands.

He was masterful in his strategy

Jon Katz represented me in a case where I was charged with speeding, failure to comply and DUI. I felt strongly that I was improperly stopped as I was paced at only a few miles over the speed limit. Jon was straight forward that this was a slim margin chance of victory yet fought hard to prove this point. He was masterful in his strategy and more importantly in his cross examination of the officer and challenging the prosecutor. They were no match for his knowledge of the law and his ability to convince the judge it was an improper stop resulting in acquittals on all charges. He is an excellent attorney and all around great guy who even gave me a ride to the airport.
