This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

This is the lawyer you need to take care of your case because he is one of the best

Mr knott was appointed to me by the court and i was facing felony charges and my plea was for 3 years. Mr knott got my case resolved without active time and got me probation. If u get appointed Mr.Knott you just got one of the best lawyers in johnston county and if you are looking to hire a lawyer he...s worth every penny. This lawyer saved me twice and I've been in trouble more times than i like to admit. Mr Knott is the man in the courtroom he is one of the best defensive attorneys.

Looks at the whole picture

Brian Knott is a really good criminal attorney. He looks at the whole person and gave the DA a proposal that saved me from a potential prison sentence. I had no prior offenses, so I am sure that helped my case. In reality though, this probably wouldn't have been the case had it not been for Brian Kno...tt.

Helped Me with my Bankruptcy

I needed an attorney to help me with debts from medical bills. Mr. Knott was very affordable and filed Bankruptcy for me so I was able to keep all my personal items and didn't have to pay any extra money.

Really Helped Me In My Custody Case

I was going through a separation and needed an attorney to help me get primary custody of my children. Money was short but Mr. Knott worked with me and helped me through this trying time and I was able to get the resolution I wanted.
