    Review Evan Knupp

    honest,efficient,effective

    Posted by

    I am from out-of-state and was cited for speeding in Milwaukee in August, 2014, and assessed 6 demerit points and $229.20 penalty deposit. Knowing that a standard reduction to 4 or 3 demerit points is routinely offered at the first court appearance if the defendant accepts the charge without argument, I sought the help of an attorney who would listen to and assess my version of the events, and represent me, in arguing for a non-moving violation penalty or zero demerit points. Three other lawyers (whose mailed advertisements I responded to) showed little interest in listening to my story (one derided me just for making an attempt at telling it) and emphasized their low advertised fees (simply to accept the court's predetermined offer on my behalf). I researched for an Attorney on my own. Of course, Atty. Knupp's published credentials were good and unblemished. Most importantly, our initial interaction (the "free consultation" phase) revealed his qualities of being an honest, compassionate and analytic listener. He was up-front about what could and couldn't be done, but I got the sense that he would do his best to achieve my goals. His fees were very reasonable, and well-defined (relative to the amount of work done). And yes, on the 1st court appearance date, our goal was achieved. The penalty was reduced to that of a non-moving violation, with no additional dollars owed to the county other than that already paid-for as my deposit. He did his work efficiently and successfully; I received the good news by phone, while I was at home, right after it was done. I would recommend Atty. Knupp, without reservations, to anyone looking for a good partner to help out with legal issues in any field he says he is qualified to practice law in.

    Evan is Wonderful!

    Evan Knupp is an excellent tenant/landlord lawyer. While working on my case he kept me well informed and educated on the proceedings of my case. His lawyer fees are extremely reasonable and he provided me with results in my case that I am extremely pleased with. I highly recommend Evan Knupp to anyone that is facing a tenant/landlord issue and/or any other area of his legal expertise.

    Evan is an outstanding attorney who drew up a commercial lease for me. He was knowledgeable and gave very good advice and guidance. He responds in a timely manner and is very transparent and honest. I feel so lucky to have found him and I intend to use his services in future legal transactions! He is smart, kind, and very approachable!

    Excellent lawyer, stand up guy

    Posted by

    My wife and I were embroiled in a stressful situation regarding a new construction where the foundation was out of plumb and cracking under the strain. To make matters worse, the sellers refused to let us out of the contract, which was worth more than a million. Evan Knupp extracted us from that situation with a level of skill that can only be described as “surgical precision”. We will always be exceedingly grateful for what Evan did for us, and will never forget it. Even is recommended, by me, with the highest of regard, without reservations.

    Even though he wasn’t representing me, the time he took on this app to give me sound advice was appreciated. For those shipping attorneys, this one deserves a hard look!!!

    Definitely recommend to anyone purchasing a home.

    Attorney Evan Knupp helped me and my husband in our first home purchase from the offer-to-purchase agreement to closing. We were purchasing the property we were renting. It was confusing in the beginning but Attorney Knupp helped guide us through every step of the process and represented us well. He was professional and answered any questions we had. He picked up on potential problems that we wouldn't have noticed regarding our paperwork. He was thorough and extremely pleasant to work with. I'd recommend Attorney Knupp to anyone going through the home buying process.

    Got a 26 MPH Speeding Ticket in Racine (I-95) Recently and Evan Knupp Handled It

    Posted by

    In June 2020, I was speeding as I was running late from Milwaukee to catch my flight out of O'Hare. 26 MPH speeding ticket as I hit the State Patrol speed trap operating out of Racine County stretch of I-95. I looked up reviews for good lawyers that also handle traffic and came across Evan Knupp. He was amazing. Got it reduced from a 26 over $300 fine to an Odometer infraction and a $250 fine. Keep up the great work Evan! I would use him for any legal work I would need. You would think with all that is going on the police/troopers should be focused on other things.

    Got my security deposit back

    Posted by

    Mr. Evan Knupp has been instrumental in resolving a security deposit issue we've had with our landlord. He was there to assist us at every step from the mediation to the settlement. My case was settled even before it went to trial. An amazing negotiator and a very reliable person indeed. We couldn't have been represented any better. I'm glad he took time to assist us when no lawyer was willing to take up a small claims case like ours (a tenant).

    Evan was very professional when speaking with him, he gave his best and worst scenario for my case. So i hired Evan to represent me, i couldn't have pick a better lawyer. He was able to get my citation reduced to a parking ticket. The fine went up but my insurance didn't. Excellent job Evan

    Small Claims Case

    Posted by

    The neighbor of my income property did some remodeling that involved using heavy machinery and damaged my property in the process while I was not present. When I confronted them about it they denied it and refused to reimburse me for the expense to fix it. So I made an appt. with Evan and shared my case with him and he thought it was a case we would win, so I went forward with it. Evan researched all parties involved, performed all the proper serving work, submitted the case paperwork, went to court for me multiple times, and we did win the case when they defendants did not show up. Afterwards, Evan docketed the case and performed the follow-up tasks such as calculating the interest amount on the delayed payment and communication with the defendant's attorney. I was eventually paid by the defendants.
