Elite level Attorney

Having been a World Heavyweight Champion Pro Wrestler I recognize top level performance when I see it. David came highly recommended from a friend and exceeded my every expectation. I hired David to help a friend who was languishing in jail and couldn’t bond out. He was incredible!! He took charge th...e next morning and got my friends case in front of a judge and settled by lunchtime. Incredible!! My nickname in Wrestling was”The Total Package”. I know refer to David as”The Total Package” of Attorneys. Thank you David Lex Luger “The Total Package”

Posted by Joseph | September 08, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

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 for DUI

I read David's reviews and selected him for a DUI case. His one bad review is obviously a mistaken identity, since David doesn't do family law cases. AVVO should remove that review and find the lawyer where it does belong. David worked long and hard on my DUI case that lasted for 18 months. I was ve...ry satisfied with the outcome. He communicated promptly. His fees were reasonable. He is the attorney that you need.

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.
