Matthew Curran Knauss's Peer Endorsements

I have known Matt since he was a prosecutor and appeared in opposition to him numerous times. When our law firm needed another DUI defense lawyer, the first person we thought of was Matt. In the yeaars that he has worked with us we were not only not disappointed. Matt went far beyond our expectations and our hope. If I were to pick the most important asset he has brought to our firm it is his creativity, both in litigation but in recognizing and articulating legal issues. We are proud to have him practicing with us.

Matt is a talented lawyer who vigorously fights for his clients and is highly respected among the legal community and his clients. I have referred multiple clients to Matt, all of which have been very satisfied with his work.

Matt is well respected by prosecutors, judges, and most importantly, his clients.

I have known Matthew for years as he prosecuted misdemeanor cases for the cities of Bothell, Lynnwood and Kirkland. Matthew was a very good prosecutor in that he was able to balance what the law was and what the right outcome should be in any given case. These are traits that will make him a great defense attorney. He had very good command of the law and the courtroom as a prosecutor. Having joined one of the premier DUI firms our state has to offer, I expect that he will continue to have such command from the defense side. I would recommend Matthew without hesitation.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt on several DUI cases when he was the Kirkland Prosecuting Attorney. His knowlege of the law was only surpassed by his ethics and the respect he paid everyone in the court including the accused. Mr. Knauss demonstrated outstanding courtroom ability and demeanor. His maturity in handling very difficult, and often contentious matters, was a real pleasure to see. I have no doubt that he will continue to develop into a top flight trial attorney.

I have known Matt for the past three years, both as a prosecutor and now as a defense attorney. I am thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of the law and his courtroom skills. He is an excellent advocate for his clients.

Matt is a tenacious advocate for his clients. He is well respected in the community and has a pit-bull like quality to get the best results. Any client represented by Matt will be well served.

I endorse this lawyer's work. While I will miss Matt on the prosecutor's side of the table, knowing he's now a DUI Defense lawyer makes me all the happier for him. The defense bar has gained a great ally. Matt is sharp as a sword, and I have no doubt will quickly rise to the upper eschelons of the defense bar.
