I'd recommend hiring Jon without hesitation on a weighty criminal defense. He's good people.

Jon Katz is an exceptional criminal defense lawyer. Facing a first-time DWI charge with a 0.11 BAC, I was extremely worried as my case headed toward trial. Jon was always available to discuss my case, guide me through the process, and address my concerns. On the trial date, he skillfully negotiated with the prosecutor, securing an amendment to reckless driving. This outcome has significantly improved my record and employment prospects. I highly recommend Jon Katz to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable defense attorney.

I wasn’t sure who to go to for my situation. With my charges, it felt I was going to get the worst possible outcome that was going to affect my life and career moving forward. It started as a google search for “Criminal Defense Lawyer in Virginia”. I discovered Attorney Jon Katz, Fairfax CriminalLawyer by first search result and from there on I felt that everything would be fine. I was fortunate to hire the Fairfax criminal defense lawyer, Jonathan Katz, and his team (Rachel and Abby) for my first experience with the justice system. Hiring Jon Katz was the best decision I ever made. I was facing assault and battery charges. Jon guides me through the whole process. Regardless of how nervous I was at times Jon reassured me that it’s going to go well. He and his team consistently communicated with me, keeping me informed at every step of the process, which provided a sense of security during a challenging time. I am grateful for him, his work on my case and with the outcome. My assault and battery criminal charges were dismissed. He and his team are very professional. The Jon Katz, PC Criminal Defense Lawyer firm exceeded my expectations in many ways. I would highly recommend him and his law firm.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Jon Katz and his team for their outstanding work. I am forever thankful!

I found Jon online while faced with the seemingly insurmountable legal battle ahead after my first DUI arrest in Virginia. From our first meeting, I could tell that Jon was eager to fight for me to get the best possible outcome considering my circumstances. We discussed in detail the case options, approaches, and defense tactics from all angles which helped put my mind at ease, knowing that He knew the system and was ready to tackle my case. I retianed Jon and his team during my initial meeting because I did not feel that I could have found a better lawyer base on the evidence mounting in my case. During the next several months, Jon and I worked closely to built a strong defensive, working through his action plan and wading through the Court's process and a few delays. I was consistently updated on the case progress along with regulator communication and check-ups to make sure we were on track with the action plan. I sincerely appreciate how hard Jon and his assistant Rachel worked towards building the very best defense before trial. In the end I agreed to a comprised judgment which did include penalties. But those penalties were fair and ultimately the consequences that I deserved because of my DUI. The judgment could have been 10 times more severe, based on the Commonwealth's minimum penalties and my case evidence, but because of Jon's knowledge of the system and solid plan for defense, I am pleased with the overall outcome. I truly feel that if I had hired any other lawyer, I would be facing a more severe and lengthy penalty. Simply put, I made a mistake, I received the best case scenario penalty from the Judge and this could not have happened without Jon's representation. Thomas H

Jon represented my daughter. My daughter had made a poor judgement call and was arrested. The first meeting it was apparent that there was zero judgement from Jon. He saw the case for what it was...my daughter is a good person who made a poor decision. He was able to ease her mind and when we went to court he was able to get it reduced. He didn't want this mistake to affect her for years. I was very thankful for how he handled the case and my daughters anxiety. His professionalism and empathy was exactly what we needed.

In August of last year, I was involved in a DUI accident that would have easily ruined my life and reputation. I was already at one of the lowest points in my life, having lost a job only weeks prior to my arrest for DUI and possession of two different controlled substances. When I walked into Mr. Katz’s office, I was genuinely broken. Physically in the sense that my hand was fractured from the crash, and psychologically from the chain of misfortune that led me to his office. After a brief consultation, I had a game plan that gave me a chance to fight for a second lease on life. Through following his instructions, I was not only able to avoid jail time and get both possession charges dropped when court came around, but I found hope for myself where it hadn’t been before. I am currently living a life I’d never thought possible before, happy and hopeful for my future. Sometimes, it takes hitting rock bottom and meeting someone like Mr. Katz to really turn your life around.

John Katz helped me by representing me after I had incurred a very bad situation for an old man like me. He argued my case very well in an uphill battle that could have recked the rest of my life. Led through all of the requirements to get the best sentencing possible given severity of mandatory, minimum jail times imposed in the state of Virginia. It was a 1st offense that could have imposed harsh treatment but given the situation that added to the crime he was able to minimize my confinement for which I'm thankful.

Although our interaction was brief, Mr. Katz helped refer me to the right people in the specific area of my concern. I appreciate his good guidance. His staff was also helpful and supportive.

I hired Jon Katz – a DUI and criminal lawyer based in Fairfax, Virginia – on the recommendation of a friend; best decision I ever made. I was scared and anxious because I had never been in this type of situation; I have a clean driving record but I blew .15 BAC in Maryland and received about 6 or sototal tickets, including a DWI AND a DUI ticket. From our very first meeting I felt that I had made the right decision. He immediately gave me various HW to do. These HWs were anything from Victim Impact Panel classes to Driver Improvement classes and so on. At every stage of the way, Jon and his extraordinarily efficient office staff – Abby and Rachel – were there for me and I knew I was in good hands. On the day of the trial Jon was in his element as he strove to do the very best for me. And the outcome was truly amazing; he secured my acquittal from the DWI and DUI charges. I will forever be indebted to him; I cannot recommend him highly enough.

With his vast knowledge, Jon provided me with some homework and he began building the strongest defense and provided me with clarity and understanding through every step of the process.

Jon utilized all of his tools like a magician for trial, to ensure the prosecution’s options were limited and achieved a complete dismissal of all charges. Although, the road was rough, Jon got me a “smooth landing” and I will be forever thankful to him and his team for getting this “monkey off my back” and giving me a refreshed/renewed opportunity of life, for me and my family!
