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.

Great Lawyer for DUI

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.

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.

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.

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.
