Brilliant lawyer with a personal touch

Like many, I experienced severe roofing damage during Hurricane Irma. I was ignorant and signed a contract with a local company with really vague terms. The company actually made my roof leak worse after their crew drilled a tarp onto my flat roof. The company sat on the project for a while, brought ...materials to the site and let them rot in the summer rain. After almost everything was completed, the company wanted to take my entire insurance settlement claim. There were several items included that weren’t even for the roof. They were trying to cheat me out of insurance money that was not rightfully theirs. In comes George Knott. He gave me very sound legal advice and sent the company a very assertive letter. The company agreed to receive the insurance funds only allocated for the roof and signed a release of lien contract. He saved me thousands of dollars. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Superb attorney

If you want to win your case, you should hire George Knott. I had a very complex case where I was being sued by my former lawyer! George Knott made certain that we had every document correct, worked with me as I learned how these things work and then destroyed the arguments of the person attempting... to basically extort money from me. Mr. Knott was incredible during our depositions and hearings, was fair on billing, provided excellent defenses and was extremely ethical. Highly recommend!

Great lawyer and firm

I had the good fortune to engage George Knott and his firm for a very complex multi-party construction matter. I found George and all the members of his team to be very focused and efficient. George has the rare ability to evaluate cases in a thoughtful manner, provide incredibly skillful discovery... during depositions, act as an aggressive advocate as well as give excellent and practical advice. His team including Aaron, George Gift and Nichole perform like a well oiled machine. The firm's work resulted in the resolution of a very complex matter in a shortened timeframe with an excellent result. I highly recommend George Knott and his firm.

Highly Experienced Lawyer

As a court reporter for 25 years, I've worked with literally the best lawyers. So when I needed a lawyer, I went to the best, George Knott. George represented my husband and I with the utmost in professionalism. His knowledge and experience helped us to be able to settle our claims and not even ha...ve to file a lawsuit. I can't say enough about George and his law firm. They are top-notch in every way when it comes to the legal field.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have been on the opposite side of cases with Mr. Knott as well is on the same side. He is a very seasoned professional with an extensive background in trial work involving commercial cases. He is extremely well respected within the community and the bar in Southwest Florida. George also is actively involved in many charitable and community oriented causes. George is very client centric, which is reflected in the results he has achieved over the last 32 years of his practice. If I needed to hire an attorney, I would certainly consider hiring Mr. Knott because I believe he is a "lawyer's lawyer"."

  • 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.
