JOHN KRAVITZ, ESQ
John Kravitz has been a criminal defense attorney who has been in the court-room almost everyday for thirty years. He previously served as the appointed head of the DUI team in the Montgomery County Public Defender’s Office. Many first time offenders do not understand the seriousness of a DUI charge and its impact on all areas of their life. John aims to use his experience to help those clients avoid serious penalties. Over the span of his career, he has successfully litigated cases in all areas of criminal defense work including: DUIs, Attempted Murders, Homicides, and metal health cases. In all of his work, John finds representation of the mentally-hill especially satisfying. He believes that the social misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the mentally ill leads to an unnecessarily high amount of people trapped in the criminal justice system. He remains steadfast in his mission to guide confused and troubled mentally-ill clients through the confusing maze that is the legal system.
