David is an exceptional lawyer. I started my divorce proceedings with a different attorney. I stuck with that attorney for almost 8 months. He was taking no steps to help me get my case closed, and never responded anytime I tried to contact him. A friend told me to contact Koenig and Dunne. The moment I met David I felt instant relief as I could tell he was finally going to help me. He asked me to tell him how much communication I would like from him, how often and what type. He always helped me make choices that in the long run would save me money and not make him more money which I truly appreciated it. He is extremely professional and always got back to me whenever I needed something. Hes amazing and I would use him again in a heartbeat and I will recommend him to anyone who needs it.

David from the moment I met him shared a compassion and empathy for the journey I was going to embark on. He handled delivering "tough" news with grace- and made sure I completely understood the possibilities of all outcomes. He was honest and sincere in all that he did. Modifying a custody agreement is no walk in the park and he made me feel completely supported all along the way. He worked diligently to find applicable laws to improve my outcome and has incredible knowledge of the law in general. His communication skills are great and he is professional at all times.

David was always straightforward with his answers to all of my questions. I hired David for 2 different cases, one was back in 2018 and one in 2021, he never forgot about me and the hardship I was going through back in 2018 when I reached out to him late 2020 early 2021. He is an amazing lawyer and person, I HIGHLY Recommend David.

Working with David was for me very reassuring as I had been to court an extreme amount of times and been through two other lawyers. David is helpful, reassuring, always answered my emails in a timely manner and amazing in trial. Thanks to him I still have custody of my children. He will work very hard for you!

David was great! Going through a divorce is difficult for anyone, no matter the circumstances. David made me feel heard, showed genuine empathy for my situation & made the entire process smooth.

Divorce is life changing and a roller coaster of emotions. David listened , answered all questions, and was there to let you know in the end you Will be okay. I am not angry but embraced my new life. David helped me through his support and words of encouragement that despite Divorce I am strong and will go on. Divorce is hard and having someone in your corner who will tell you the truth and fight for what actually is best for you and not what you think you deserve is the best!! David is by name a Divorce Lawyer but behind that title is someone who you can trust to help you begin again. His staff is fantastic as well. Beverly

I had began my case with a different attorney prior to meeting David. I began to question some things, so I took a chance halfway through and switched over to David after interviewing a few other attorneys. Switching to him was the best choice ever. He was very logical and had organized thoughts on everything. He also had a great team to support the case. I would work with him again.

David represented me through a child support modification. His advice, guidance, and support were invaluable. David listened to my concerns, understood that I wanted to resolve the issue swiftly and without drama and he did just that. I hope not to need representation again soon, but if I do, I will definitely work with him again. I would recommend him to anyone who needs support and guidance navigating the difficult waters that come with divorce, child custody, and child support issues.

David went above and beyond to make sure he took care of my divorce case. We had a number of out-of-the-ordinary issues arise during the time of my case and he handled each carefully and with a sense of compassion. When going through something so difficult it was a relief to feel as if I had David and the whole legal team there to guide me. I would highly recommend David.
