avvo review

Shortly after my Mom passed away, my sister and I met with Attorney Knott for advice regarding issues involved with her estate. Emotionally, it was a very difficult time for us and he was very understanding of the grief we felt. We were extremely impressed by his professionalism and his ability to ...make us feel very comfortable in dealing with the probate issues as well as other issues that came up with the estate. He is extremely easy to talk to about any matters of concern He informed us of all matters involving the settling of the estate and has worked diligently to resolve any issues that arose. We highly recommend Attorney Knott and cannot give him enough praise for his services.

review - Attorney Andrew Knott

I was having difficulty dealing with an issue regarding Medicare coverage for a medical service my husband received. I contacted Mr. Knott for legal advice. He was persistent in his attempt to fully understand our situation and thoroughly researched the matter before offering a plan forward. Since th...en Attorney Knott has kept us abreast of all progress in a timely way. He has been realistic in his assessment of the case which has given me confidence in his knowledge and ability. My husband and I have been very pleased with Mr. Knott’s legal expertise and work ethic. We would highly recommend him to others dealing with Medicare challenges.

EXCEPTIONAL

I was in need of an attorney to handle a somewhat contentious probate case for my daughter. Attorney Knott came highly recommended and has very much lived up to his reputation. He is excellently versed in the law as well as the process. His warm and reassuring personality has given me trust and ...confidence as he guides me through this difficult time. He keeps me well informed and has had enormous patience with my many questions. I remain impressed with his eloquence in the courtroom and observe the respect that he holds amongst his colleagues and judges. He is expeditious with obtaining necessary documentation and creative in his approach to obstacles. He has had great success in our case thus far. As a grieving parent, I appreciate Attorney Knott's sensitivity and support. A gentle man...a true reflection of his character!

Could Not Have Been in Better Hands

I live out of state but have been serving as conservator for a family member in CT. When an issue came up out of the blue I needed a lawyer immediately with skill in probate litigation and conservatorships. Andrew's reputation obviously precedes him because I was directed to him and no one else. Besi...des being very knowledgeable about the law and skilled in the courtroom he listens well, is compassionate and factors in what he knows about you as his client to the approaches he suggests taking in resolving your case. He is exceptional!

Top Shelf Attorney!

I went to shop around for an attorney who I felt was not only well versed in the area I was needing representation but someone I felt I could trust. Luckily I went in Andrew,s doors first, because I got everything I was looking for. He helped me understand the legal parts that were confusing and alwa...ys got right back to me when I had concerns or questions. Believe me, I have had other legal representation who left me hanging in limbo, but not this time. I fully endorse This firm for your legal matters.
