Excellent Attorney

Mr. Knapp guided me through a tough situation with a steady firm hand on my shoulder. He anticipated multiple scenarios and handled each with grace and ease. I would recommend Mr Knapp to anyone who is in need of a solid attorney

Several cases

Carl has worked with me on several issues and has come though with flying colors. I will use him again whenever needed.

Above and beyond expectations

First, I used Carl to help me get out of a misdeamenor trespassing charge, I am omitting the personal details of the case, but he spent much time discussing the case prior to the court date, multiple phone calls, texts and face to face encounters, and never once got inpatient with me and all my silly... questions. I entirely overreacted about the charge, but I had never been charged with anything and made a small mistake and didn’t want my clean record to now have a charge on it... he was patient, kind, and didn’t once make me feel like I was bothering him with all the questions and concerns I constantly had. He came to court with me and was punctual, and came early to talk about his approach, he was able to get the charge completely dismissed for me pending a small 90 day waiting period that I don’t go back to the “alleged trespassed area”... now I have my clean record back and can move on....Wrapping that up, I will be hiring him in the future for a custody case that I’m currently in the process of trying to work out without having to use the court, but Carl has also helped me with immense patience with figuring out my custody case and answering all my questions. Would definitely recommend him for any family or custody cases as well as minor crimes!! Thanks Carl!
