    Jacob H. Katz

    Jacob H. Katz is a junior associate at The Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong, APLC. Most recently, Jacob was nominated and accepted as a Lawyer of Distinction for 2023.

    Jacob’s passion for criminal law is reflected in his legal background. Jacob was published twice in the Jury Trial Committee Improvement Newsletter for his articles “Dealing with Daubert: Finding the Right Balance” and “Judicial Problems: Answering Jurors Questions”. 

    While in law school, Jacob was a certified legal intern for the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office for four semesters. Jacob excelled in his criminal law and trial courses becoming a member of University of San Diego’s Mock Trial Team.

    Jacob’s dedication to the law is further demonstrated by his work in U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, working as a judicial extern for the Honorable Anthony J. Battaglia. 

    What inspired you to become a lawyer?

    My family has been a part of the San Diego Legal Community for over three generations. As a citizen of San Diego, I felt that becoming a lawyer gave me a unique opportunity to give back to the community that I love.

    As a child I was fascinated by criminal law. Throughout my childhood I would attend court proceedings and watch both sides battle in the pursuit of justice. With a fiercely competitive streak, I always wanted to join the battle. Now, I am lucky enough to be a junior associate of a firm where we work as a team to pursue justice for our clients.

    Why did you decide on criminal defense?

    As a law student, I was sure that I was going to be a prosecutor. However, before I passed the bar, I was lucky enough to be selected as a graduate law clerk by Dan Greene for the Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong. During my time with Mr. Greene, and the office, I was able to see what a unique opportunity criminal defense offers to help someone who is at a low point in life.

    As someone who has experienced their own share of ups and downs, I appreciate the opportunity to provide support for others during a stressful time. I also appreciate being a check on the government.

    Are you known for any particular skill or specialty?

    My greatest skill is my ability to zealously advocate for my client, while also creating an atmosphere of respect in the courtroom. As long as it is in the best interest of the client, I am always prepared to go to trial.
