Thorough and a Marathon Man

David is tried and true when it comes to lawyers. Has been by my side keeping me updated on a weekly basis for over a year now through uncountable cobb county prosecutors. Stood up for me when other lawyers wanted to turn my domestic violence case away at the beginning. Currently on a path to dismiss...al of the entire case thanks to him. I couldn't be more satisfied with my results. Appreciate you as always David.

The Help You Need When Your In Trouble

Everyone makes mistakes. Especially when driving on GA highways. Mr. Koontz was there to help me out when I made that mistake. Mr. Koontz took the time to talk with me personally, to understand the issue, and then discussed my options with me. He even explained backup options in the event that th...e first plan did not work as expected. It was that confidence and willingness to talk things out that lead me to select Mr. Koontz as my attorney. Due to COVID, courts were still holding virtual trials. Due to the backlog these trials were several months after the incident. Mr. Koontz worked during that time to gather information and never lost interest in my case. He ultimately worked with the Prosecuting Attorney to get the incident reduced to a non-points violation. Overall, Mr. Koontz has a exceptional understanding of the Law and the jurisdictions. He was great to work with, very communicable. prompt and willing to help in any way. Over the several months working on this case, I was able to spend some time talking with David about his experience at Harvard and why he chose to do criminal defense. Through these conversations I have a better appreciation and understanding of his passion to truly help people.

Great Lawyer 10/10

Mr. Koontz was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process, answered every question we had, and kept us up to date step by step. His work ultimately resulted in a dismissal. 100% would recommend.

Review

I met with David back in October of 2019. Because of covid, the case was drawn out until January of this year, 2021. During this time David kept me informed of the proceedings, responded to any questions I might have, immediately. He was always very professional, and respectful. He is someone I would... definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent Service, Very Communicative and Affordable

David did all the dirty work in this case. I was charged with Reckless driving and I am under 21 so I was at risk of losing my license and potential jail time. Luckily I did not get arrested so it made it easier for him, but the case was resolved in just over a year with a small fine and a couple of ...classes. Most importantly nothing on my record and no increase in insurance costs. David also is a kind person who will get back to you very quickly. Heard about him from a friend and I will recommend David to anyone I know that gets in any sort of trouble. I will also seek out David's advice again in the future if I ever need any help.

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.
