Donald Matthew Knepper

I hired Donald Knepper for my criminal defense case as my legeal representation in Maryland's district court after having been wrongly and falsely arrested by the Gaithersburg police department by the order of a Gaithersburg Sherriff who arrested me for "violating a no contact order/protective order...." My wife at the time decided to show up to my apartment, which was listed on the order as my official court dictacted residence, to which she was not allowed to return to under the order of a judge as she had decided to take residence with a new partner elsewhere. A week prior she had been escorted by a police officer to my apartment to collect her remaining belongings, and with knowledge that she was not allowed there, returned to the apartment while I was there despite the judge's order. I called the police for protection from her, because she has been abusive and manipulative towards me and others in the past, and a Gaithersburg Sherriff arrested me for being at my own apartment which was my court appointed and recognized residence despite knowing that my wife of the time was not legally allowed to be there. After being released on bail with conditions to stay in the area and check in every week, I immediately started doing research in finding the best criminal defense lawyer I could find and afford. Donald Knepper is the most honest, sincere, and hard working lawyer I've ever met, and I think I will ever meet. He was completely transparent with me with all the information regarding my case and what the expected result was to be, and was very reassuring and hardworking. If I ever had a question he would always go out of his way to make sure it was answered fully and in detail, and if he was not available, his wonderful staff would take care of it immediately. Every step of the way Donald Knepper made sure things were done right, and that there were no stones left unturned. In the end, Donald Knepper and his legal team got my case dismissed before it went to trial, and had three charges, two "violate exparte/protection order" and one" theft less than $1000 value" (Nothing was stolen from my past wife, she claimed I had her belongings, which were immediately returned to her as I was clearing the apartment out so that I could move away) charges brought to the verdict "nolle prosequi." Donald Knepper worked quickly and diligently, did not sugar coat anything, and was realistic about outcomes, timelines, the process, and best of all was upfront about fees and made everything simple and easy to handle. The day of the trial, Donny Knepper, my witness, and I showed up to court, and after talking with the prosecutor, Donald Knepper had the false charges dropped, to which the prosecutor told my past wife that this was an abuse of the system, and that she could face charges of criminal harassment. After the case, Mr. Knepper served my past wife with an order to cease her actions against me or to face criminal harassment and other charges. Mr. Donald Knepper is an expert at handling difficult situations, and is a man that genuinely loves his job, and will give it his all. He went head to head against a published feminist writer (my past wife) in court to defend me from false charges and won before the case even made it to trial. If you are unsure of lawyers or worried that a lawyer isn't going to have your best interests at heart then stop looking elsewhere and hire Donny Knepper and his firm, they had my back in my time of need, and did not let me down at all, even once, and he kept my best interests as his priority. I would not hesitate to hire him again if the need were to ever arise, as he has handled this case better than I've seen any other lawyer conduct themselves.
