Experiences With Attorney KnappK3

Ms. Knapp is very professional and thorough. I needed to be a little more informed on matters as they evolved. But obviously, I trusted and place all our elder affairs matters in her hands.

Know what you are getting.

I was quoted a price for several services. I was not notified of the cost before the services were provided -my fault. There was an estimated 100 percent increase in cost.

Replied last May 29, 2025

Client's quote from six months ago for slightly different services was honored in full. There was never a 100% increase, she failed to consider the large discount offered her as a prior client before small filing and mailing increases went into effect in January 2025. She did not proffer the prior quote at the time services were rendered and even sent an "all okay with price charged" email to the attorney. As a curtesy to the client, all services were performed on her arrival so no written fee agreement was available in advance until we knew exactly what she wanted done. Client waited until nighttime after the office was closed for a holiday weekend to raise any concerns, thus preventing any reasonable time for the attorney to investigate and fully resolve her issues.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
