Highly Recommended

I was arrested in August of 2019 for DUI at age 18. Fast forward to today and he was able reduce it to a reckless charge which allows me to keep my license (which is extremely important for me as I split time in the suburbs and the city as a GT student). For the duration of this situation, he was ...great at communicating everything clearly to me, making sure I was in the loop, and I could tell that he was genuinely invested in getting me the best outcome possible. One of my family’s biggest priorities when choosing a lawyer was to find one that clearly cared about fighting for the best outcome possible- not one that just wanted our money and would do a mediocre job. David has many clients but, despite this, I felt like a priority at all times. I even recommended him to a friend of mine who found himself in a super-speeder situation, and from what I heard, it worked out well for my friend as well. Great man who’s confident in his craft and appears to be well-connected in the system. I’ll definitely continue to recommend him to any friends/family that find themselves in unfortunate legal situations.

Got my case dismissed!

Attorney David Koontz helped go get my assault charge dismissed ! He was persistent and detailed in his communication which not only made it easier to trust him but easier to understand what was going on with my case.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Koontz is an excellent Attorney that assisted in helping understand my charges and my options. He helped to get my charges dismissed with Diversion. Everything worked exactly how he explained from the beginning and the process went smoothly.

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.

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 !

  • 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.
