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.

This attorney is THE A-list attorney for the distressed. He is unbelievably cool under pressure, and is a demonstrative scholar in the legal realm. Once the trial begins, and his trial skills are on display, any fear or doubt about the outcome will quickly disappear. His knowledge of the law will immediately command the judge's respect. Mr. Katz is a principled, focused, disciplined, sincere attorney that will skillfully take the burden of the trial off his client's shoulders, reassuring them throughout the entire process. Look no further for excellent counsel.

Jon Katz was introduced to me by my cousin's boyfriend. When I met him for the first time, I was worried about what would happen to my life and future. Jon said keep doing "your homework" to change myself. He worked hard to get me a settlement so I could begin my new life. I was really relieved about it. I remember that when I first went to his office, he showed me that he loves Yoda from Star Wars. After the settlement, I was relieved so I called him "Yoda God". Me and my family really thank him so much for everything. I am adjusting to my new life and am happy in Florida

Mr. Katz is the best in the business in my opinion. I never hesitate to ring his line if I have an issue..large or small. Highly professional, meticulous and persistent to be short. He and his staff communicate with precision. Jon really knows the law down to a science. He will definitely fight for you with superior results based on my experiences.

Imagine yourself a business owner with a stellar reputation; you're a good father, a role model, a mentor, a community leader--Then suddenly, with no warning, now visualize yourself in jail, living minute-to-minute trapped in a disorienting, senseless and menacingly complex bureaucracy--Pure Kafkaesque horror, you are the only middle-aged man in a cellblock filled with violent offenders, some just sentenced to life. You are charged with a crime you did not commit, with "no presumption of bond" (google that up!). In
