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.

HIGHLY recommend!!!

I was charged with a DUI less safe and Mr. Koontz fought for me to get it reduced to reckless driving! He was very responsive and answered all of my questions. It was my first offense and he held my hand through the entire process. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Koontz to anyone in need of lawyer!

Exceptional service!

I hired Mr.Koontz after I made a HUGE mistake. I had never been in trouble a day in my life. I received so many flyers from different lawyers wanting me to hire him\her. Mr. Koontz's was one of the 1st I received. I knew from the minute I talked to him he was the right person to represent me. He has ...always answered my questions and never made me feel stupid. Every step of the way he was there. I truly believe he loves what he does and wants to help out best can! He was able to have charge/case dismissed! That's a huge WIN WIN for me! Thank you Mr. KOONTZ!

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!

This is my guy!!

First let me say i don't normally write reviews. i had a criminal case going on, while i was going through a divorce. My stress level was off the chart. David represented me in the criminal case. When i tell u he was there for me. When i would text him he would always responds. Really instantly ...or before the close of business, but no pressure David. i ended up having to have an anger management evaluation. which went well. He found the person to give the evaluation. Biggest thing after completing evaluation. He went to court on my behalf with out me even being present, and got the case dismissed.

  • 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.
