​The Sunshine State's diverse economy is what makes it unique. With tourism being its most famous industry. From Jacksonville to Orlando in the central part of the state to Miami in southern Florida, the state is flourishing in the banking, insurance, retail, and real estate sectors. Additionally, the state's businesses are also on an upward curve. In an economically prosperous state like Florida, there's always a demand for financial and banking litigation services.
​
When banking litigation arises, Jason D. Koontz can provide banking expert witness services to attorneys representing debtors, creditors, plaintiffs, and defendants in Florida.

Recent banking expert clients include Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Citibank. The list of clients also includes some of the largest mortgage loan servicers in the country. Questions regarding mortgage servicing practices and foreclosure matters are common issues that require an opinion. Koontz often reviews cases that deal with mortgage loan servicing, debt collection, predatory lending, and lender liability. He examines loan documentation, including loan modifications, loan history statements, call logs, voice recordings, and other materials to determine whether the lender/mortgage servicer’s actions were consistent with industry guidelines.
 
Loan agreements are often an issue in litigation. Both the borrower and the lender are best served when there is a clear and mutual understanding of the risks. When there is a dispute, a lending expert can help the courts and parties involved by explaining the issues in a clear and concise manner.
 
Koontz possesses extensive experience as a bank expert witness. He has been an expert on more than 175 matters. His examination of commercial and consumer loans (including residential mortgage loans) and their loan documentation draws on his more than 20 years of experience working in the lending industry. Koontz has also received his Credit Risk Certification (CRC) designation.
