Very Thankful!

Our family has used Marty twice in the past few years as a defense attorney for a family member. From the first meeting, he listened and showed a caring attitude towards our situation, but never jumped to rash conclusions. He began immediately doing his homework, finding out all the facts, looking fo...r the truth! He was always upfront with us about all the possibilities, which helped us to make the best decisions to get the best outcome! From the beginning, we felt comfortable contacting him with any information we might have, but the time that these cases ultimately take was well spent! We knew that Marty was working hard behind the scenes for the best result possible! His experience has given him an ability in the deposition process that really makes a difference in the overall outcome! His honesty and straightforwardness never wavered throughout the process. He was very personal, yet always professional and this went a long way to making these two very difficult situations easier for us to deal with! We did get the best results in both cases, which was clearly a result of Marty's knowledge of the legal system and his hard work! We are very thankful and would not hesitate to call on him again!

I would use Mr. Knopes again if needed

Mr. Knopes was my attorney for a criminal matter. Ultimately by his work, the charge was reduced to a lesser offense. He was very prompt and professional in everything he did. If Mr. Knopes said he would be somewhere or do something he was there or did it... There was absolutely no false claims o...f what he could get done in court or with other attorneys because those things don't always go as planned, but he did tell me he would do the absolute best he could, and he did. My schedule isn't always convenient, but Mr. Knopes worked with me on scheduling meetings; even on weekends if needed. Mr. Knopes pulled in folks for depositions, and even brought in a subject matter expert to help defeat the charge by the state. I have no doubt about the commitment and desire Mr. Knopes has for representing me, or other clients, and seeking the best possible outcome in whatever the matter is. I would hope I live my remaining days on earth and never need another attorney for anything, but IF I'm not that fortunate, I'll call Mr. Knopes. Heck, he's even honorable enough to tell people whether he is the right attorney for them. He won't take on a client knowing he isn't the right guy for the job. In terms of communication style... he told me what I needed to do throughout the entire process and told me the truth in clear & concise terms. There is no "sugar-coating" with Mr. Knopes. If you want the truth, Mr. Knopes is the right guy. Now that my case is done, Mr. Knopes is still helping me along the way trying to navigate through what is left of my responsibility to the state. He didn't just throw me out when the charge was reduced. He knows people don't necessarily know the legal system and will help them out. I consider Mr. Knopes to be a great attorney. Go see him for yourself!

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Knopes is extremely competent and caring. From the moment you meet him, you get an overwhelming sense of trust. At the same time, he is a bulldog in the courtroom and does not get pushed around. I felt very confidant using him as my attorney in a divorce matter. I would highly recommend Mr. Kno...pes to anyone in need of legal representation.
