Charged with a Felony? Your Future Deserves a Real Defense

Facing felony charges in Missouri isn’t just a legal issue—it’s a life-altering crisis. From the moment you're arrested, everything is on the line: your job, your reputation, your relationships, and your freedom. And while the system moves quickly to build a case against you, you may feel left in the dark, unsure of who to trust or what to do next.


At Simon and Katz Law Firm, we understand what’s at stake. Attorney Paul Katz doesn’t just represent clients—he defends their future, their voice, and their right to fair treatment. With decades of courtroom experience and a reputation for unwavering client support, he stands ready to guide you through every twist and turn of the felony process.


Why Early Action Matters in Felony Cases

Felony charges aren’t just serious—they’re urgent. Many people don’t realize that what you say in the early stages of an investigation can dramatically shape the outcome of your case. A single misstep in an interrogation—even when you're innocent—can be used against you.


Before answering any questions or speaking with law enforcement, call Attorney Paul Katz. He’ll step in immediately to protect your rights, manage communications, and begin building your defense with clarity and strategy. From day one, he’ll be in your corner—because your silence isn’t weakness; it’s smart legal protection.


A Strategic Defense Built on Facts and Focus

The prosecution has to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt—and we make sure they’re held to that standard. Paul Katz thoroughly examines:


  • Arrest procedures and constitutional violations
  • Errors in evidence handling or chain of custody
  • Inconsistencies in witness accounts
  • Police misconduct or overreach


Every case is different, and Paul customizes your defense to fit the details that matter most. His approach is focused, aggressive, and relentless in challenging the prosecution’s narrative.
