William James Koontz

Mr. Koontz was a terrible lawyer. The first meeting he seemed sincere. He came recommended hence why I blindly trusted him. I presented him with two problems/issues. One was settled about 1.5 years after I approached him. The other problem, I asked if he can handle it. He said very confidently,... "yes." I kept asking about the second problem throughout the time the other case was going on. He said he was handling it. In the end... too much time has passed and I am no longer able to make a claim and I lost out on $1 million. He did not even mention the second problem/issue when a settlement for my first issue was paid. He just got his money and never looked back. This is one of many times he did not keep in touch with me about what went on. I could have asked another lawyer to help me if he could not help me. Secondly, I had given documents to him that I needed for a case in another country. He lost those documents. I guess I expected my lawyer to be responsible so I never made copies of the documents I gave him (also there were thousands of pages and I did not have the ability to copy every thing). Anyways, not having those documents has cost me a full investigation in the other country and now I have lost about $2-3 million from lack of proof. This has been by far the worst experience I have had with a lawyer. I have dealt with about 10 lawyers in my lifetime and maybe 2 in the area which Mr. Koontz has "helped" me in. He lacks communication, responsibility, sincerity, and professionalism.

Bill is not only a terrific attorney but also a good human being. I met Bill in '92 when he handled a misdemeanor criminal case for me and won the case at trial before a jury. He also represented me in several PI/auto accident cases over the decades and got THE BEST OUTCOME POSSIBLE. I have also a...pproached Bill on several other civil matters and he talked me out of filing by explaining that I had no chance of winning. I found another lawyer to file on one case Bill refused, lost the case, and got hit w/a $69K legal bill payable to the party I sued. I had to file BK to avoid paying the 69K and believe it or not Bill helped me with the BK for free. If you seek an attorney, Bill is your best bet. He'll go to war for you and, if you have little chance of winning, or no case, he'll let you know. Bill only gets paid if his client gets paid, that's a fact.

I have know Attorney William Koontz for the past 10 years. He handled a P.I. case for a friend of mine, who had permanent brain damage, from an auto accident. He was the only person, to take the case, as neither the party had insurance. He would up settling the case, through much detective work, ...for $1,000,000. I would highly recommend William Koontz.
