David Joseph Koontz

He was very caring. However, I did not feel like he gave it his all. He depended on his relationship with prosecutor to get my dui reduced instead of actually fighting for potential evidence. I feel let down and pushed to the side. I had to reach out to find out court dates and updates on footage. As... a first time offender, I got every repercussion possible

I was involved in a domestic dispute. Accused of charges I didn’t commit. The victim, my wife, who recanted her statement to police couldn’t even help. Took a lie detector test and passed. Sat in court for a year forced to take a plea deal. Was in court all day on some events because David was late.... David is a nice guy. He went to Harvard. He’s a smart attorney taking cases and getting paid if you win or not. Gave me a fair price. You get what you pay for is all I’m going to say. This is a ride the system attorney. Will not fight for you. It’s been Two years. Went back to him to get the rest of the plea deal petitioned bc I have completed all that has been asked. He was willing to move forward now refuses to help bc I won’t admit to the crime which was an Alford plea, not admitting guilt. Clearly doesn’t want to help bc he’s not willing to put in any effort to helping his clients. I’ve talked to other attorneys and presented the facts and evidence of the case. All have said they would of handled my case differently. My wife and I were no going against each other. This case was picked up by the state. Just save the money and take a plea deal. Could have done that on my own. Now I’m forced to hire another attorney to clean up the mess this attorney started bc he is now refusing to help.
