THE BEST LAWYER IN GEORGIA

If you’re looking for a lawyer who will help you every step of the process, he’s the one. His fee is reasonable and he’s extremely helpful. He responded to every question I had and he was able to answer as well. Professional and timely. He was respectful and willing to work. I have dealt with attorne...ys in the past and he by far exceeded my expectations. The best of the best!

above and beyond expectations

We interviewed 6 lawyers in the Marietta GA area and my son and I decided to hire David. We hired him because he was the one who we felt most comfortable with and an individual who was truly on our side. David was encouraging, gave us a great path to follow on our end. In addition he dug in and ...got to work. As a person who likes to be in control, David did a great job of keeping me informed throughout the process, and the process wasn't short to say the least. In addition he was exceedingly patient with me when I would get exasperated and wonder why the darn legal system moves as slow as the slowest snail. At the end of the day, David exceeded expectations, we were hoping for diversion and instead got dismissal. The sword that was hanging over my sons head is gone and David removed it. I can't say enough...Thank you David J Koontz you are the best out there.

Professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.

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.

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.
