After speaking to a few Fairfax Criminal lawyers, I scheduled a consultation at his office for an assault and protective order charge. I can tell the knowledge and years of experience handling difficult cases is what made him stand out from others. I knew hiring Johnathan Katz was the right choice. He is honest, courteous, and hard-working. I would not hesitate to work with him again and highly recommend Jonathan Katz! Thank you
Jon was very proactive and intelligent throughout my court process. His expertise and quick wittedness provided me the outcome I was so hopefully expecting. If you want a real lawyer that's tenacious and unrelenting, Mr Katz is your man.
Like all the others in these reviews, I found myself in a stressful legal situation and needed the help of an attorney. After meeting with 3 other lawyers I met with Jon Katz and knew immediately that’s who I wanted to represent me in my case. This man is a master at his craft, and it is easy to see he does everything he can to help his clients and get the best result possible. I went from feeling scared I would lose my career, license, and other things to feeling confident and at ease after hiring Jon. He was constantly keeping me updated and in the loop throughout the entire process and was very quick to answer any questions or concerns that I had. On the day of court I was naturally a little nervous, however once I saw the way Jon Katz took control and how prepared he was the nervousness went away. He was able to get the original charge amended down to a much lesser charge and I couldn’t be happier. Jon helped save my career and I cannot thank him enough. If anyone is in need of legal help do yourself a favor and hire Jon Katz. All of his great reviews speak for themselves.
I can attest (from my recent case) that Jon comes highly recommended. We beat my misdemeanor charge and now I have the opportunity to salvage my career. Smart, experienced and dedicated is what I appreciate mostly about Jon and I recommend him to anyone for any case. He will give you the truth no matter how ugly it is but he will be there fighting to the end to make sure you’re protected. Glad to have had him by my side.
Hearing your child's name at the end of a collect call can surly push a mother to make a life changing decision in minutes. A referral from a friend delivered me with my heart in hand to Jon Katz and in a matter of minutes I knew that I need not look any further. I simply just believed in him and appreciated his candor. Mr. Katz immediately jumped on the case and I began to receive consistent updates that lasted throughout the entire experience as well as post trial support. He delivered exactly what he said he would and while doing so he handled us both (client and sub-client) with an extreme level of attention. Katz made it a priority to visit his client who was being detained (during the pandemic) and to keep me posted all while respecting the laws of attorney client privilege's. The revered operatic display of legal expertise in the courtroom and CONSISTENT correspondence with the prosecution was a recipe for success.
Jon Katz works magic. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. Represented me for a DWI/DUI with a BAC of 0.25 and got the DUI charged dismissed! He’s definitely an expert and I’m glad I trusted his judgement throughout the whole process.
Back in October last year I was arrested and charged with a dui, and honestly thought my life was going to fall apart (lose my license,job etc). My mom searched really hard for the best lawyer for my case and when she stumbled on Jon’s page we both knew we had to meet with him. After one meeting all the lost hope was returned and I was immediately motivated to do whatever he asked of me and made sure to pay close attention to everything he told me. His knowledge of the law is almost unreal. Things you would never even expect to think he has an answer for everything. He kept it real with me throughout the entire process and treated me with utmost respect. My dui was dropped to a reckless and it was the best possible outcome I could have asked for. If you’re in need of a criminal defense attorney Please do yourself a favor if you are fortunate enough and hire Jon Katz I will never forget my experience with him. THANK YOU JON
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.
Where to start... Jon Katz was an absolutely incredible lawyer throughout my whole process... beginning, throughout, and even after. He is very knowledgeable, and he used everything he had to help get the Virginia shoplifting case against me completely dismissed. He's the best Fairfax criminal lawyer, for sure. He gave me some assignments to do, based on hearing about the case, and I highly recommend doing/taking everything he says seriously. Doing so was another tool in his arsenal to get us victory. He was accessible, easy to talk to, professional, and an all round incredible lawyer. He helped to put me at ease throughout the process, and he fought for me. He took care of the entire process in a very smart and honest way. I'm so grateful for him and would highly recommend him for you too!
BEST possible result! I was amazed! I men really floored with what he was able get me as a result. I've never been actually EXCITED to go to court before. I strongly recommend his services and strongly recommend you listen to his "Homework" recommendations. Seriously, this will be the only attorney you need.
