DUI

Marty is a long time friend and came to my aid when I was charged with DUI. Because it was a second refusal, I had to spend the night in jail to see the judge the next morning. Marty took my wife's call on Saturday night and tried to get me released but could not because it was a second refusal. H...e was there on Sunday morning and got me released on a signature bond. We met with him and he told us of the flat rate charge for defending me. He was there for every court appearance, teleconference with DSMV, deposition. Even though the judge ruled against us on all of our objections and allow the CPD to validate my rights and lie on the stand and also allow the SAO to file an addition charge against me five months after the alleged offense, he was still able to get a reasonable pea deal. Marty responded to all calls and his paralegal Pam was always there to assist. Marty is a good,knowledgeable and reasonable attorney. Go Noles.

Perry Mason

Mr. Knopes was "awsome". He has handled several legal issues for me over the past 10 years. He has always been upfront with me on all issues. He works hard at finding the truth. He is honest and trustworthy and I can call him anytime, day or night, if I have a problem, concern or question regardi...ng any matter. He has always worked hard at keeping me informed. Most of all, though, anytime I had to go to court he was by my side and well prepared for anything the other side would throw at us. He was unique in his approach to the issues. I used to tease him and call him Perry Mason, but, in fact, it was no joke, I felt like I had Perry Mason working for me. One trait I really enjoyed about Mr. Knopes, was, that "he hates to lose"

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.
