David Joseph Koontz

In the fall of 2022 I found myself in a rather unfortunate situation, falsely accused, arrested and facing a felony charge which if I was convicted not only would I be facing jail time, but my VA benefits (which I literally earned through my blood, sweat and tears) would have been in jeopardy as well.... I consulted several law firms and some even wanted to charge me for the consultation. David Koontz was one of the lawyers that I spoke to during that period and the reason I chose David to represent me is because he was saying the exact same thing that the larger Law firms were saying, but they wanted to charge me at three or four times more than the quote I received from him. The goal was to keep me out of jail, retain my military pension and prove my innocence. Not only did he accomplish all three of those things, but the case was dismissed altogether! Unfortunately I had two cases pending and the latter was recently adjudicated at the end of August of 2025. It was a DUI case and admittedly I had to “bite the bullet” in that case, but David Koontz still kept me out of jail and he was able to negotiate some favorable and special conditions with the judge and prosecutor on my behalf. I even recommended a friend and his family to David. That friend and his family were extremely grateful for the referral after a more than favorable and fortunate outcome in their case. I would absolutely recommend that anyone in need of an attorney, to not hesitate and give David Koontz a call and set up a consultation before you make a decision on hiring an attorney.

I had the pleasure of working with David on my DUI case, and I could not be more impressed with his professionalism, dedication, and legal expertise. From our first consultation, I knew that I was in good hands. David took the time to explain the legal process to me thoroughly and answered all of my ...questions in a way that was easy to understand. Throughout the entire case, David kept me informed of any updates and was always available to speak with me whenever I had any concerns. He was incredibly thorough in his investigation of the case and found evidence that helped to dismiss the charges against me. In the courtroom, David was confident, poised, and professional. Overall, I would highly recommend David to anyone needing legal representation for a DUI case. He is a top-notch defense lawyer who is dedicated to his clients and will fight tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.

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.

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.

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.
