Highly recommended

Andrew is an exemplary attorney. I needed to hire him for a conservator case. He is well versed in the law and understands intricate details on how to navigate the probate court. Andrew was successful in helping us achieve a positive result in our case. My family was in a very tough situation. I was ...very impressed at how he was able to help our family navigate through one of our lowest points. Andrew was able to understand and empathize with the stress the case brought to our family. He was very patient in translating the law to verbiage that we (non-attorneys) could understand and all of his actions helped to minimize the amount of stress that our family had to go through. There have been times when my acquaintances from out of state needed an attorney recommendation, and we requested a recommendation from him (since his bar did not cover that state). His recommendation came with such positive feedback that my acquaintances wanted to write Andrew a letter thanking him for the recommendation. This is not just a job to him. Andrew is passionate about what he does, cares for his clients and was instrumental in bringing about a positive outcome in our case.

Highly recommend Knott & Knott, LLC

I needed to hire an attorney to establish a pooled trust account for my elderly mother. I was referred to Attorney Andrew Knott from another reputable Attorney who no longer handled this type of case. What was a long, tedious and stressful process for me up to this point had finally come to an end ...after I hired Knott & Knott, LLC to help me. I was burnt out, stressed out and couldn’t handle anymore. The first meeting I had with Attorneys Knott and Holman it was like a ton of bricks being lifted off my shoulders. I left there with an overwhelming sense of confidence that they were going to handle everything and all I had to do was show up to court and sign a couple of documents and in a short period of time it was over. What I thought was going to push me over the edge, having to deal with attorneys and court, was actually my saving grace. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service they provided me for my mother and I can never thank them enough. I highly recommend Knott & Knott, LLC.

Intelligence and Integrity

Andrew has the expertise on how to handle any problem or situation you bring to him. He has helped our family, we have a special needs son, and Andrew has fought hard in getting the help we needed for our son and family. I would highly recommend Andrew and his firm.

An Unbounded Professional

Andrew's ability to tackle tough issues is remarkable. He stops at nothing to get the best results in any situation. His clear thinking and planning always results in a success outcome. I am thankful and grateful for everything he has done for me, and will always consult Andrew first when in need of ...legal assistance.

Exceptional Attorney

Attorney Knott has handled various matters for me, ranging representing me in probate estate matters to matters involving benefits and guardianship for my intellectually disabled child. I not only felt that Attorney Knott was well-versed in the law in each case, but I also felt that Attorney Knott w...as very personable and easy to talk to. Whenever I had to go to court with Attorney Knott, I felt that I was in very good hands. I would high recommend Attorney Knott and his office, and will return to them if I need further representation.
