I was forced into a frivolous law suit in which the plaintiff was gunning for punitive damages, when it was a simple contract dispute. David and his team presented my case with high competence, they were quick to grasp the facts, and agile at court proceeding. His court room demeanors were professional , courteous, yet effective and powerful. His presentation was concise and punchy! If you must go to trial, he is the best trial lawyer in Colorado Springs.

David and his team did a wonderful job on my criminal case. His office staff is very supportive, professional, and on top of every detail. They responded to my questions with a quick response. If in the future at any time a need arises for legal help, I will without a doubt call David's firm firm again.

David and I worked together on a case for the past 5 years. He worked tirelessly on the case, despite knowing if it would work out in the end. He gave up a lot of personal time just to see the case through. In the end, we were successful and the best outcome was reached. I never felt left in the dark and always felt if I needed something that I could call without hesitation. It is great to feel that I have an attorney who is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but cares about his clients and their wellbeing.

We consulted with Mr. McConkie on a civil matter where some funds were misappropriated prior to a breakup. He was extremely passionate and fought tooth and nail the entire way without once losing his cool. This case was by no means a pocket stuffer but you would never know that by his research and preparation that went on behind the scenes. This man could try, litigate, negotiate, and represent you on any case at any time but the ones he is passionate about, as he was with ours, the opposing counsel had better be prepared. This is a first class attorney and an even better person. Should we require the services of an attorney at any time in the future, he will be the only one on our list regardless of the nature of the case. Thank you Sir, it has been a pleasure.

The entire legal service experience was professional, friendly, and effective. I appreciate that Mr. McConkie was cost-conscious and kept me "grounded" when I wanted to pursue higher legal actions.

I was represented by David McConkie in a personal bankruptcy. The bankruptcy was brought about by the failure of two established businesses which I owned and operated. The failure of these businesses created a long and complicated personal problem for me. David was always available with good legal advice and handled the case with a high level of professionalism and competence.The case he developed went through in a very satisfactory manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. McConkie to anyone in need of an excellent attorney. Mr. McConkie's support staff also did highly competent work and access to both them and Mr.McConkie was very good. I feel this attorney and his staff were a big help in returning my families life to a more normal state after a highly stressful time. Thank you John

David McConkie provided his services in the selling of my home. He did all that I could have expected, even to the point of giving me a refund that he could have pocketed, and I would have never been the wiser. He was pleasant and available.

David was great. He told me what to expect, kept me informed, treated me fairly, and ultimately he won my case and produced a very positive financial result. The experience was much better than I expected. I also just liked the guy. He has a calm demeanor, he spoke to me at my level of understanding, and was very friendly. If I ever need services like this again, I'll definitely come back to him.
