Fabulous attorney & staff

Jason and his staff were so helpful, organized and accessible to see my case through to completion and settlement.

Very professional!

I was in a car accident in March 2021 and when I was looking for an attorney I remembered their commercials. So I gave them a call and talked to Jason Knutson. He was great! He put me at ease and he was very professional. He was always there to answer any questions I had. He explained the process and... what to expect. His paralegal, Jenny Machotka was awesome as well. She was always available and professional!

Highly recommended

Jason Knutson worked on my unpaid overtime case for over 4 years, starting as a class-action suit and then in individual arbitration. Jason was an incredible advocate during my hearing, and he both stuck with me and my case until the end, even though my own claim, after our class-action was tossed ou...t, wasn't worth a ton of money. Without Jason, I likely would never have been paid for the work I did, and my employer would have just pocketed that cash. Thanks!

Excellent choice of an Attorney

Jason Knutson's help during what is clearly the worst time in our lives was immeasurable. His assistant Jenny was very helpful when medical bills poured in keeping them straight and helping us remove duplicate charges so we could focus on our sons rehab. Jason and Jenny from start to finish of our... whole ordeal was a positive. I always felt as if they had our son's best interest at heart and that we truly were being represented in the case. I never had a doubt or ill feeling like we didn't know what was going on and if I had a question they answered promptly. I would most genuinely say that if you need someone whom you can trust as an attorney to help you through a tough time - Jason Knutson's your attorney!

Recommendation

When my vehicle was hit by a drunk driver, I was immediately med-evacked to UW Hospital and was in no condition to make any decisions. Luckily, through recommendations from friends, my family retained Jason Knutson. From that moment on, Jason relieved us of all the stress of the terrible situation. M...y family and I were relieved of all the ensuing pressure, so I could concentrate totally on the healing process. I am so thankful that Jason was there right from the beginning. There were so many pitfalls we could easily have fallen into that could have negatively impacted the final settlement. Jason fielded the myriad of calls and mail, and prevented us from unwittingly making serious mistakes. He instilled such a sense of confidence that things were in good hands that I was able to face each day of my hospitalization and lengthy rehabilitation without distraction. I truly believe Jason was as important a factor in my recovery as was my hard-working medical team. The settlement reached through Jason's negotiations was fair, and exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Jason. He was able to lead me and my family through the most difficult situation, to the best resolution possible.
