Great

Just an outstanding person who truly puts the client first. I still cant believe my felony charge was dropped.

VERY SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATION AND SUPER GOOD PERSON!!

We are so pleased with Mr. Koontz service in every way possible as he has represented my niece several times unfortunately in 4 different types of cases, a felony case, a DUI, an accident and failure to follow through with probation. He not only assisted her with her legal matters, however he took e...xtra time and consideration in assisting her in setting a life long goal in rehabilitation from her bad habits and cared enough to see that she start a new healthy life as a first time mother and this was a life time saver for all of us as a family. We would not have known where to turn and Mr. Koontz had the answers because he truly cares. This attorney kept our family all informed every step of the way by texting and talking with great response to all of our questions and concerns through this nerve wracking situation of our loving niece. We are out of state, but never left out of the loop. He answered texts at all times of the day and evening which really means a lot! He also understands how the costs are difficult when you have multiple charges and willing to work with you get it all taken care of. We highly recommend David Koontz!

very helpful

David represented me in a criminal case which was a very embarrassing and shameful time for me. He was knowledgeable, helpful, comforting, and very reasonable with his fees. I am very pleased with his work and would hire him again or refer him to a friend if necessary.

Great Lawyer, down to earth, and very professional.

Mr. Koontz has helped us out in two legal situations. We were very pleased with how both cases were handled and both outcomes. Mr. Koontz is very knowledgeable in his area of law and is very professional and trustworthy. I would use him again if needed and I would highly recommend him to a friend or ...a family member.

compassionate as well as professional, well received within his professional community

We've been represented by David several times for traffic violations (illegal turn, failure to stop, speeding) and came away each time very satisfied with the outcome (case dismissed or reduction in fines with no points). We've been so happy with the results in fact that we've recommended him on thre...e separate occasions to friends/co-workers (Paulding and Douglas counties as well as Cobb); two of these were traffic violations and the third was a much more sensitive case with the possibility of jail time looming for the child of a family friend. All three reports we've gotten back about David have been overwhelmingly positive, confirming for us that we made the right choice both in having him represent us and in recommending him to our friends. Thank you David.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
