Unmatched expertise, combined with genuine care.

Before meeting Mr. Knellinger, the thought of setting up my business was incredibly overwhelming. His unmatched expertise, combined with genuine care for my vision, turned a complex process into a smooth journey. The entire office was always prompt in addressing my emails or phone calls and their att...ention to detail assured me I was in the best hands. I'm deeply grateful for their support and highly recommend them to any budding entrepreneur.

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.
