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.

Georgia BEST Lawyer

I have never met a more dedicated attorney that cares about the clients the way Mr Koontz does. He felt more like a friend then my attorney. I never had to worry about communication issues. He always kept it 100% with me even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. I was really fortunate to have him in ...my corner because I knew he was fighting for me. Very dedicated to his job and I would recommend him to anyone who want a fighting chance to win your case. I hope I won’t need to use him again, but believe me, he is saved in my phone. Thank you for everything that you have done for me and my family.

Case Dismissed!

Back In November 2020 I was Charged With Criminal Charges that could lead up to me serving time in Jail. I reached out to Mr.Koontz and told him my story and he assured that he Could help me get my case dismissed also being that this was my very first time being in any legal trouble. From the beginni...ng to end Mr.Koontz was very honest , dedicated , and worked hard on my case even after so many reschedules for my court date. He reassured me and always kept me updated on every piece of detail. Today my case has been dismissed which has allowed me to be able to Join the U.S army and continue my lifetime career , i am so very thankful for Mr.Koontz . If you’re looking for a lawyer who’s honest , upright , dedicated , hardworking , Communication skills 100% sufficient, and who gets the case dismissed without you having to show up to court then Mr.David Koontz is your Guy !

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.

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.
