MR. Koerner is the best criminal defense attorney in Ohio

David koerner is my go to attorney in life. I have dealt with several lawyers throughout my life and have not met one that is on par with mr. Koerner. He genuinely cares and in court he does not disappoint. David asks great questions and does not let up when interrogating. He is also not afraid to take your case to trial. Overall I will never get another attorney. In my opinion he is the best criminal defense attorney in ohio. David really cares and his rates are very reasonable. His work on my case is nothing less than what a celebrity would expect to recieve.
