Small business owner

Randy explained all of my options very clearly that I could also take my case to small claims court. He also wrote a very nice letter trying to settle my case out of court, and he was upfront about everything .

Randy was hired to review documents concerning independent contractors. He was timely and did an excellent job of providing information to meet our needs. I would strongly recommend Randy as a Lawyer for your organization or personnel needs.

Above and Beyond

It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Knutson and his staff. The help they provided from start to finish with my law suit was timely, effective and ended with a satisfying resolution. I was always informed as to what was occurring in my case with very clear communication. My calls and emails were answ...ered timely and in a personal way. I never felt like I was just a another case. I will continue to recommend them to my friends and family.

Randy Knutson review

I've worked with Randy Knutson on a couple different cases. He represented me personally on a case involving a local governmental action taken against me that I thought was unjust. Randy acted quickly and respectfully and the case was settle in an appropriate manner. Randy has also consulted with o...ur company on numerous employee actions. He is a voice for people in our community who are oftentimes not heard. Because of this he has helped us understand the hiring opportunities that exist in our community.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
