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.

Exceptional service!

I hired Mr.Koontz after I made a HUGE mistake. I had never been in trouble a day in my life. I received so many flyers from different lawyers wanting me to hire him\her. Mr. Koontz's was one of the 1st I received. I knew from the minute I talked to him he was the right person to represent me. He has ...always answered my questions and never made me feel stupid. Every step of the way he was there. I truly believe he loves what he does and wants to help out best can! He was able to have charge/case dismissed! That's a huge WIN WIN for me! Thank you Mr. KOONTZ!

VERY SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATION AND SUPER GOOD PERSON!!

We are so pleased with Mr. Koontz service in every way possible as he has represented my niece several times unfortunately in 4 different types of cases, a felony case, a DUI, an accident and failure to follow through with probation. He not only assisted her with her legal matters, however he took e...xtra time and consideration in assisting her in setting a life long goal in rehabilitation from her bad habits and cared enough to see that she start a new healthy life as a first time mother and this was a life time saver for all of us as a family. We would not have known where to turn and Mr. Koontz had the answers because he truly cares. This attorney kept our family all informed every step of the way by texting and talking with great response to all of our questions and concerns through this nerve wracking situation of our loving niece. We are out of state, but never left out of the loop. He answered texts at all times of the day and evening which really means a lot! He also understands how the costs are difficult when you have multiple charges and willing to work with you get it all taken care of. We highly recommend David Koontz!

OUTSTANDING JOB!!

"You will NOT be disappointed" Mr. Kootnz's is an outstanding attorney, one who is very concerned about his clients. He is very informative in regards to your case. He will do his absolute best to get the best results for you. I could go on and on about how pleased I was at the end of my case, but I... don't want you to have to read a lengthy review to get the point across. You will be very happy if you hired Mr. Koontz.
