Great DUI defense attorney

David is a great DUI attorney. I got arrested for drinking and driving a few months back. The case was very provable so I probably wouldn't of beat the case. David ended up getting it reduced all the way down to reckless driving with a small fine and a small amount of community service. Great deal co...mpared to what a DUI conviction carries. Very understandable and friendly guy too would refer him to anyone in that situation. Thanks David.

Saving lives

If your like me and fine yourself in a courtroom often then David koontz needs to be on speed dial. Amazing attorney. Great communication. He makes sure you know what's going on in your case. He has represented me several times and each one the outcome was even more amazing then the last. Thanks for ...your dedication and commitment to my case.

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.

The best!!!

I hired Mr.Koontz to represent me for A case & he did an AMAZING JOB!! He also let me do a monthly plan and charged me with an incredibly reasonable price. I did not have to show up for courts once while having him work by my side. He managed to get me a dismissal with no plead deal I’m extremely gla...d I had him working by my side!!

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.
