Met Jon at a public event and unbeknownst to me I would need his services soon after! I called him to seek his assistance and was surprised he remembered me and was very willing to assist! Jon is passionate about what he does and truly cares about his clients! I would highly recommend his services and do so without hesitation! You're in good hand with Jon!

I am convinced I wouldn’t have gotten a Fair Trial without the services of Mr. Jon Katz. As my trial proceeded, I felt like an important client. Mr. Katz seemed to put everything he had into the trial. I was very impressed by Mr. Katz’ knowledge of case law. I highly recommend Mr. Katz. He is most definitely a Five Star attorney! I couldn’t be more happy and satisfied with the outcome.

So I’m asked to pay a $250 consultation fee for an hour just to speak to Faisal for a couple of minutes. All I wanted to do was ask if he would be open to charging me a flat fee to review/negotiate a commercial lease.

Jon Katz is the person I would hire if I or someone I loved ever needed a criminal lawyer in Virginia. I have known Jon for years and have often talked to him about advocating for our clients. The enthusiasm for sharing and learning results in professional excellence. It's clear that he's totally committed to his clients and that leads to winning results. Jon's clients are in great hands.

FAIRFAX CRIMINAL LAWYER I met Jon two days ago. He had started driving from Fairfax at six in the morning - crossing nearly the entire state to defend me in a small town that looked like it was frozen in the nineteen-forties. The town looked like a set for Mississippi Burning. There were some beautiful buildings - but it also seemed menacing. I had been charged in this small town, and had spent months trying to arrange an adequate legal defense- from my home in Miami. When I was first charged, I was overwhelmed by the situation. I then did what you are doing now: looked thru online reviews for the best lawyer for my case. Jon fit the bill so I called him. Since then, it has been several weeks of intense back and forth with him. He runs a meticulous outfit, and his support staff was excellent. They worked very hard to collect and compile all the useful documents. Everything worked. No mistakes. I had multiple phone conversations with Jon, but, because of the long distance, had not met him in person. The court date was two days ago. I had arranged to meet Jon in a diner a few blocks from the courthouse. Before Jon arrived, I was in pretty bad shape. I had made a series of stupid mistakes, which had led to the charges, and I understood that, if things didn't break my way - I was facing serious prison time. Jon walked into the diner, and sat down across from me. He has more than a passing resemblance to Bobby Kennedy. He also has something rare: Star Power. People in the diner, and later in the courthouse, followed him with their eyes. He is a person who immediately meets your eyes, and holds the eye contact. It was like suddenly being in a John Grisham movie, and you are on the side of the angels. Think of it like having Gus Grissom from CSI Las Vegas, sit down across from you at a diner- and he says he can help you. Jon ordered a black coffee and lifted two huge brown paper binders on to the table. He carefully flipped thru pages that he and his staff had organized with tabs. He had all my important defense documents immediately accessible. Jon and I walked a few blocks to the courthouse. The sky was a steely overcast slate grey. We went thru the security guards with their holstered Glocks. He went thru some heavy doors to talk to the Prosecutor. The court doors then opened and we were directed to approach the bench. The prosecutor was an attractive woman, in a perfectly tailored outfit. She started talking to the Judge and seemed to be advocating FOR ME! I don't fully understand what happened, but Jon had arranged for the case to be amended downwards, and then an on the spot dismissal with no guilty plea, no conviction, and several thousand dollar fines were reduced to a hundred dollar court cost. We left the Courthouse - back into the worn brick town. He drove me to my hotel in his vintage sport's car. I was left standing there outside my hotel on a cold January day in rural Virginia. My life had changed in a matter of hours. Jon had saved my life.

"thorough " would be my word in describing attorney Jon Ktz....never misses a beat every step of the case. Starting with the arrest and miranda rights, Jon examines every aspect of the case. Especially important in d.u.i. cases is the breath results which Jon examines in detail finding any procedural flaws that might happen. Jon engages the prosecution like a samurai warrior in that he can absorb their attacks, and yet offer brilliant strategies in a calm manner. His years in court offer a perspective about the judge, jury and prosecution that are of priceless importance when mounting a defense. His daily blog on facebook is a great way to experience real life court . I would highly recommend this attorney for all legal matters.

A few years ago when I was younger I got DWI and the next day was pulled over driving without a license since it was suspended due to the DWI the night before. Talk about double bad luck. Anyways I went to several lawyers but I didn’t feel they were the right ones until I went to see Jon. At first he didn’t want to take the case because he felt it was to easy and wasn’t challenging. Here I’m thinking he must be out of his mind, I’m in big hole with two different court dates and he thinks it’s not big deal for him to take it on. Anyways to make this short , I ended up hiring him as my lawyer and he knew exactly how to handle each of the prosecutors for the different court dates and the DWI was reduced to reckless and the charges for driving on suspended license was 7 days restriction. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and it was a lesson learned.

Jon is one of the best in the business. If you need a Fairfax County DUI lawyer go no further. He knows the law and will fight to keep you free. He isn’t scared to speak up on your behalf. Thank you again Jon.

I’ve known Jon as a colleague and friend for decades. There is no lawyer who cares more about the people he represents and is more dedicated to a professional and thorough approach to defense of one’s Constitutional rights than Jon. He would be my first pick to go to if I ever needed a criminal law defender.

Jon is a resilient, persistent, and passionate Fairfax criminal and DUI defense lawyer. As his former legal assistant, I was able to witness first-hand Jon's expert criminal defense practice. I sat beside him in court while he vigorously defended an 8-pound marijuana trial, where he obtained a not-guilty verdict. Jon puts in the hours for his clients, day-and-night. As a newly-licensed attorney, I strive to model my own practice after Jon's, who sets the gold-standard for the legal profession.

I would definitely recommend The Gordon Law Firm to anyone who needs attorney. They handled my traffic case in Loudoun county with a great outcome, I didn't even need to show up for court. Office was very responsive and answered all my questions. Thank you!!!

I have known Jon for nearly 2 decades. At the beginning of that happy time, I was a whelp of a lawyer, and Jon always offered me mentorship and advice. I have merely offered him referrals of clients who might need his services. Every one of them has given me the highest praise feedback about Jon's abilities. Jon is the kind of lawyer who will fight fiercely for you, but do so in a way that is designed to bring down the emotional level in a case. That always benefits the client. If you are in need of a lawyer, you will not regret hiring this excellent legal mind and kind man.
